Rummaging through Wonders and The Wearing of Silly Hats

One of  the best parts of our job is the hunt for unusual objects to re-enchant.  We found that while doing this the wearing of silly hats increases the fun of our little adventure exponentially.

For those of you who live in Las Vegas, there are some really nice antique shops to be found in the downtown area.  Two of our favorites are Charleston Antique Mall and Not Just Antiques

The Art of Re-Enchanting...

As many of you already know, we specialize in polymer clay, with a focus on dark yet whimsical home decor, such as artistic apothecary bottles and MoNsTeR bOxes. But what you may not know is that most of our items are crafted from re-enchanted glass, wood and other materials.

Starbucks fans will recognize these bottles.
