Seasonal Shopping
See What We Have In Store!
One of my favorite stops when shopping for the store is with the artists who run the company In the Land of Elsewhere. Their art is like a dream and I am incredibly pleased to be able to share it with you.
In the Land of Elsewhere is a small, American-based business comprised of a family of artists. Their unique canvas and paper art prints are some of the best I have ever seen—both in design and quality. Their unique images are created by combining their artwork & photography with vintage elements to create a one-of-a-kind style. All pieces are individually antiqued and distressed by hand to create a beautiful vintage look. Each of their pieces are made with eco-friendly materials of the highest quality. They seek out small American based businesses to source their materials including the canvas, paper, and stretcher bars. Last, but not least, their studios and homes are log cabins built 12ft up in the trees on the Brazos River outside of Weatherford, Texas. How awesome is that?
During the pandemic, puzzles became a very popular past-time. Thank goodness we had New York Puzzle Company to get us through some gray days. Their beautiful art from iconic magazine covers made their puzzles not only fun but gallery-worthy gifts.
Founded in 2007 by two college pals, New York Puzzle Company started with a simple idea of making a puzzle of the NYC subway map. “We always thought that puzzles should be more than just a fun activity to do at home—puzzles should be works of interesting art. Part fun activity and part home décor, rather than throw them away when finished, they should be kept on display.” They have partnered with top artists and publishing houses such as Condé Nast and Penguin Random House.
New York Puzzle Company decided to up its environmental engagement by becoming a member of 1% for the Planet. This means they pledge 1% of the sale of each puzzle to environmental non-profits committed to creating a healthy planet. A win-win!
