Wood Spirit Walking Sticks
WoodSpiritHikingSticks.JPG
Click on picture to see a larger version in a new window. Close window to return here.
We'll tell you about Wood Spirits, then describe our walking sticks.  In pagan times, it was believed that Wood Spirits lived in forests and protected the forests and all those with pure spirits who entered the forests.  Hunters and woodsmen used to knock on a large old tree to awaken the Wood Spirit to protect them from harm.  Hence, the origin of the expression "knock on wood."  Some of us still knock on wood for good luck or to ward off evil.  Our walking sticks are carved in Pennsylvania out of poplar, beech, or sassafras dried saplings.  They are 48" to 52" long, 1" to 1 ¼" in diameter, have rubber caps at their tips and are protected by two coats of exterior polyurethane varnish.  The Wood Spirits are carved into the wood by hand.  Each Wood Spirit has its own personality and works at its own will.  A great companion to support and protect you on your walks.

These are the same Wood Spirits described under walking sticks. The Wood Spirit is carved into these pine knots by hand and the carvings are protected with two coats of exterior polyurethane varnish.  Each Wood Spirit has its own personality and works at its own will.  Place it anywhere in your home and let the Wood Spirt protect you.

Purse Hangers
2cats.jpg
Click on picture to see a larger version in a new window. Close window to return here.
These are light, compact and make useful gifts.  Instead of putting your handbag on the floor or on the back of your chair in a restaurant, library, school, office, your hair dresser's... keep it clean and safely in sight by using a purse hanger.  Here's how it works:
- Unfold the wrap-around link to form a hook
- Swivel the head and set the non-slip back to the edge of any surface, so the hook hangs down
- Hang your bag from the hook

Works well in public restrooms too if you put the handle of your purse on the decorative head, place the hook part on top of the door and let your purse hang from the decorative head.
$ 7 and $ 8 each

South Sea Shell Pearl Necklaces
2cats.jpg
Click on picture to see a larger version in a new window. Close window to return here.
South Sea shell pearls are imitation or simulated pearls.  They are made in a laboratory from South Sea oyster shells--the same mollusk shells the expensive South Sea pearls come from.  The mollusk shells are cut and pulverized, then high powered sprayers and ovens are used to coat a mother-of-pearl nucleus with layers and layers of that powder.  Mother-of-pearl nucleus, modern technology, and strict quality control come together to create a beautiful shell pearl product.  These man-made South Sea shell pearls look so much like the natural South Sea pearls, that it is very hard to tell their difference--except in their price.  A natural South Sea pearl necklace would cost about five thousand dollars.
$38 each
matching earrings with sterling silver earbacks $8/pair

Magnetic Necklaces
2cats.jpg
Click on picture to see a larger version in a new window. Close window to return here.
A large selection of freshwater pearls, glass beads, hematite beads, cloisonne beads, silver-plated spacers, vintage beads are strung on very strong fishing line.  They are 36" long, need no clasps, and they won't ruin your fingernails.  Create many looks with the same strand of beads as shown in the pictures.  These necklaces can be worn as a single-strand long necklace (picture 1), as a double-strand shorter necklace (picture 2), a versatile necklace that you design yourself (picture 3), or as a multi-wrap bracelet or anklet (picture 4).  The hematite beads on these necklaces have been magnetically charged.  Many believe the strength and pull of magnetic energy increases blood circulation, promotes healing and provides pain relief.   But these necklaces should not be worn by anyone who has a pacemaker.  Make sure you join the strands at your front and not at the back of your neck.   We have special prices on these magnetic necklaces.  Regularly $15, they are now $10.50 (30% off).
sale price:  $10.50 each
matching earrings with sterling silver earwires:  $8/pair
