The Super Zeros!

Or, as they like to be called, Ze Zuper Zeros! These little guys are hero friends whose "Zuper powers" and problems blend together. They have their pluses and minuses, but they're super special, just like you!

This is Zonk the monkey. He is a super climber, and can reach the top of anything in no time flat, but, he's afraid of heights, so he uses his cape to parachute to the ground!

This is Zola the koala. She can stay awake all night keeping watch, but she gets very tired and falls asleep during the day, so she cozies up with her cape and goes to sleep.


This is Zoco the crocodile. He can chew through anything with his sharp teeth, but, his teeth are always dirty, so he uses his cape to wipe them clean!


This is Zipo the Hippo, he can swim super fast, but, he doesn't like getting wet, so he uses his cape to dry off super quickly.


This is Zebu the zebra, he is duper good at hiding, and uses his cape as camouflage, but, he's always getting lost. His spotted cape helps his friends find him!

This is Zaza the mouse, she can crawl through super small spaces, but, she's afraid of the dark, so her friends use her cape to pull her out!

We have these little super hero friends at our store, collect them all! What great gifts for little and big kids! Come in to pick out yours, or send us an email, and we can ship them to you.

Designers We Love - Thom Filicia

It is no surprise that Thom Felicia was recognized by Barbara Walters in her show "The Top 10 Most Fascinating People."





We first fell in love with Thom when he was in his first television role as the design guru on the ground breaking series Queer Eye For the Straight Guy, but before that he was an emerging superstar of interior design with a prolific and respected New York City practice, Thom Felicia Inc.


We are excited to be carrying Thom's new home furniture line, which was recently lauched with Vanguard.





Thom Filicia Home Collection is a multifaceted collection that includes a mix of living, dining and bedroom pieces, occasional chairs, cocktail and occasional tables, upholstered pieces and textiles.





The new home collection captures Thom Filicia's classic simplicity and injects an unexpected, modern flair. With a fresh yet timeless approach to design, the collection balances elements in unique and beautiful ways. Refined details mix with raw edges, industrial plays against organic, and materials, textures and palettes are used in unexpected ways.

It's Fun To Cook!

At Beehive Kitchenware Sandra and Jim, the husband and wife team who started the company, and design each piece, believe that useful objects can also be beautiful and decorative. Inspired by the kitchenware found in old homes and flea markets, each product is made from high-quality pewter from the United States.




Each is intricately designed with pleasurable motifs, to bring fun and functionality to any home. We are always excited to see something functional be beautiful and decorative as well!

Look at these adorable measuring spoons!




And this coffee scoop? You will never lose this, and you will enjoy your coffee just a little bit more when you use this scoop!
