"I believe I make a difference to a few, not just to artists but to children who would marvel about the natural toys a bit longer before picking up another plastic toy or video game. The store exists to inspire children ...show them what our hands can do in collaboration with nature. How it can spin, carve, knit, whittle and color, making things beautiful and functional."
