About Us
So, who are we?
I'm Ana, I arrived Australia 12 years ago and worked in the Cultural Heritage Sector as a Paper Conservator until I became a parent. It's no surprise that I became so attached to toys that last, that show craftsmanship and that are worth keeping and treasuring. Illustration (and Art in general) is a huge passion of mine and my last Conservation position at the State Library of New South Wales certainly helped foster that love. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by my favourite illustrators and authors in our magical store.
A handmade forest
Chris is an Electrician (and Refrigeration Mechanic and Boat Builder ) and he basically builds anything and everything we think of. We wanted a magical forest in our store so he built it. We wanted frames for the beautiful artworks I selected so he made them. He's a maker. He likes good tools and loves to scavenge for timber and make something amazing out of it.
