Silvery Man in the Moon Locket

More Items from the Heavens

Wouldn't you just love to sit on a slice of the moon like this? With the Man in the Moon to watch over you? You might use this as a charm or a pendant. There is no latch, so please be careful about the treasures you might slip inside.

The locket is reversible, so it might face either way. Once open, you'll find a comet on one side and a triad of stars on the other.

The pendant measures 1 inch long by about 1/2 inch wide. Two lockets are shown to illustrate inside and out.

Sun or sunflower Nicho

Our Sun Nicho has a tiny niche - only 1-5/8 inch high by 1-1/2 inch wide and just 1/2 inch deep. The glass door opens from the front and closes with a traditional looped metal closure.

The entire piece measures 6 inches high by about 6 inches wide. The sun rays are all hand cut, so these measurements are approximate. We're really impressed with the cutting as we're not so good at cutting paper - let alone tin. The aged coppery color finish is a bit shinier than usual and we think it works nicely with such a heavenly image as the sun.

Truth be told, some of us thought this was a flower, not the sun, so perhaps it is a sunflower. In any case the cheerful tone of the piece makes it a lovely gift for someone. Why not add some mementos or a special photo?

From a vintage illustration, this lovely note card is appropriate for so many reasons, but especially for any occasion welcoming a new baby. It features a boatload of sweet babies with hats and some in towels and diapers floating across the heavens on a little slice of the moon.

This little charm is great - especially if the time is 11:22 or 11:23. The image is framed in shiny zinc and the pale cream background accents the black printing nicely. The moon and stars are the palest of yellow.

La perle des encres - J Herbin Poussière de Lune (Moon Dust) Fountain Pen Ink

More Inks, Pigments & Paints

All Things French

All Things Celestial

J. Herbin is the oldest name in current production of fountain pen inks in the world. J. Herbin created La Perle des Encres (the pearl, or jewel, of inks) at his shop on the Rue des Fosse Saint-Germain in Paris in 1700.

Perfect for fountain pens, fountain pen rollers and glass pens, this water-based ink is non-toxic and pH neutral, lightfast. It flows smoothly and is fast drying. You'll also love to use this special ink as a wash with any of your assorted brushes.

Each bottle of 30 ml is elegantly labeled and has an integrated pen rest. These are known as D bottle pen inks. The "D" refers to the old French unit of measure, la Demi Courtine.

SilverCrow is delighted to bring this wonderful ink to you. Each squared bottle of 30 ml is labeled in French.

Poussière de Lune means the dust of the moon - or moon dust! We think that makes it perfect for Love Letters, daydreams and journals. Don't you?

Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) Coin-Style Charm

More Things French and of France

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) in 1943. It is beloved even more today than when it was written. Ostensibly a children's book, there are so many instances in the writings that might be meant for adults to learn - perhaps to be young again.

This sweet little charm pays homage to the little prince. It has been modeled after a coin. In fact the back of the charm reads,

DOS PESOS

The front features the Little Prince himself in all his finery. It reads:

Le Petit Prince
1989

There is some roughness on this charm, creating the illusion that it might have traveled to earth with the young boy - or at least on a long interesting journey.

The charm is finished in an antiqued gold or bronze and measures 7/8 inch high - including the loop and 11/16 inch wide.

Praying Angels in a Cloud Die Cut

More Scraps & Die Cuts

This reproduction of an antique scrap is new, but in the tradition of Victorian scraps and die cut ornaments of old. Our two sweet little angels are watching over the world while surrounded by a cottony cloud. Each one offers a hand and together they pray for peace.

This can easily be used as a delightful gift tag (there is a space for to: & from: on the back), or an old-fashioned ornament or as an addition to your holiday artwork. Use a bit of mica or glass glitter and you might even fool someone into thinking this is an old one. The little die cut is made of lightweight cardboard rather than paper, so you might even add an easel backing for stand-up display.

This 3-3/4 inch high by 3-5/8 inch wide image is expertly die cut, but is not embossed.

If You're Afraid of the Dark... - Two Books in One! by Cooper Edens

f You're Afraid of the Dark, Remember the Night Rainbow. If You're Afraid of the Dark, Add One More Star to the Night. Just the titles of these two books conjure dreams that come to young and old and fears divided.

If tomorrow morning the sky falls . . . have clouds for breakfast.
If you have butterflies in your stomach . . . ask them into your heart.

If your world has come undone . . . fasten it securely to the horizon.
If you're at the end of your rope . . . untie the knot in your heart.

Clouds for breakfast and butterflies in your heart—these are the unconventional solutions to life's problems offered in Cooper Edens' classic tale If You're Afraid of the Dark, Remember the Night Rainbow and its long-awaited follow-up, If You're Afraid of the Dark, Add One More Star to the Night. This new edition combines both books into a single volume.

The magical words and pictures in this whimsical book still have the power to reveal the unexpected silver lining glistening in every gloomy cloud.

More Earth Friendly & Green Items

Nick Wroblewski is a Midwest-based printmaker specializing in hand-cut wood block prints. His images are depictions of the natural world, carved from large blocks of wood and printed one color at a time. He uses a traditional method of carving away more material as the print progresses, resulting in the eventual elimination of the textured image on the block. He is very interested in art that is hand hewn, art that shows the gesture of a landscape, and art that speaks to the dynamic energy shared between all life.

How perfect this advice for anyone:

Touch the earth, love the earth, honor the earth, her plains, her valleys, her seas.
Rest your soul in her solitary places.

Vintage Plastic Hey, Diddle Plaque

Cat & the Fiddle Button

How much fun are these wonderful old-timey nursery rhyme scraps!? We were shocked to find out that our teenage helpers didn't even know one old-time nursery rhyme. Oh, my goodness! What a great motif for decorating a baby gift. Each sheet features six different images from the famed early nursery rhyme (from 1756!). There are 4 of each design on every sheet.

Hey diddle diddle,
The Cat and the Fiddle,
The Cow jumped over the Moon,
The little Dog laughed to see such sport,
And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.

The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is artfully embossed and neatly trimmed. You need only cut them apart and trim slightly.

La Luna (The Moon) Nicho

This simple nicho has been made in the likeness of the man in the moon. Facing either direction (we cannot be sure which ones we will receive in an order), it is fashioned in the liso style - simple and smooth, allowing you to add your own decoration or leave it simply as is for a dramatic appearance.

The shadow box, or niche, opens in the front with the traditional curled metal closure. You might add a picture or some mementos. But, please don't let the traditional use limit your imagination! Although any ofrenda would be meaningful, this nicho is especially suited for romance as the moon represents the night or evening.

Of course, the niche's depth allows for additional items to be added - perhaps a tiny flask of sand from your favorite beach, a small candle or milagros. Each Luna Nicho is made entirely by hand, so the dimensions and even the final shape will vary, making yours ever so much more especially yours. Each measures approximately 5-1/2 inches from top to bottom and about 2-3/4 inches wide. The niche is 2-3/8 inches high by 1-5/8 inch wide and it is just about 1/2 inch deep.

Art Postcard - Dead, 1983 by Gilbert & George

More Friendship

Gilbert and George are two modern artists who met in the 1960s and have worked together pretty much ever since. Their artwork is at once surreal and real and representative of London's East End art scene. Or, perhaps, they defined the scene. They are really Gilbert Proesch and George Passmore and work together as a duo, although it cannot be confirmed that they are partners.

They are quite prolific and much of their art has to do with death and doom and extremes. This piece is entitled DEAD and features the artists in the lower right. We're not quite sure what is dead or if it is a dream. Such is the surreal, is it not? or, is it?

A long while ago, we were introduced to pink gold, and ever since, we've been head over heels in love with it. Now this lovely pair of earrings are not real gold, but pink gold plated! And we love them, too. The little moons and stars are set with sparkly pink crystals and there is even a round pink crystal at the tip of the ear wire. The European ear wires make these very comfortable to wear and have the back closure so that you won't lose them.

Each pair arrives in a little silver gift box, so you might just want to buy some for a friend, too. The moon charm measures 5/8 inch long (this doesn't include the ear wire). These are plated but light weight. You can reverse them if you like, or indeed remove the moon and star and use them as charms.

They are also fantastic for your collages and assemblages - to glue on or inlay. We think these to be made of tin, but they just might be aluminum.

These delightful fairy tales are illustrated in the style of the 1930s and 1940s. The origin is printed as Made in Western Germany. Included are Rumplestiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood and more!

Reach for the Stars Charm

What better advice than this:

REACH FOR THE STARS

This lovely charm is fashioned from lead-free pewter and measures about 7/8 inch high by 5/8 inch wide. The hanging loop is in the back, so that it will also double as a small pendant or focal point of a necklace. There is also a tiny hold in the back that allows you to add a charm or bead to hang between the two bottom points of the star. But, if you choose not to do so, the hole is hardly visible.

Because of the great message impressed into the front, this makes a wonderful addition to a baby gift or collage, or, indeed, a graduation present. We're sure you'll find many uses.

Vintage Embossed Die Cut Chromolithograph Scraps - Astronauts

More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts

From the mid-20th century, these fantastically illustrated scraps feature lots of space scenes.

As with many of the scraps and die cuts made in the 20th century, these are children in adult situations. The advent of space exploration in the 1950s and 1960s, led to many products such as these. Rather than intricately die cut motifs, these are nicely expressed vignettes that are die cut into shapes - probably meant for découpage.

The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent. The shapes make these perfect for accenting boxes, pencil cups or other such items.

Song of Creation by Saint Francis of Assisi

In 1225 the infirm St. Francis was living in a hut in a church garden. As ill as he was, he wrote this poem in which he looks on the face of creation and blesses it in its totality.

The text of his poem in this volume is a translation by Matthew Arnold. The publisher has illuminated each line with paintings. Praised be my Lord for our brother the Wind is accompanied by a Corot painting of trees bent before a gale, and also an illustration by Frank Papé in which a dove is borne joyously upward. In this manner two faces of wind are shown, and the words made more vividly manifest.

In the last year of his life St. Francis, greatly hampered by his illness and progressing blindness, lived in a reed hut in the garden of the church of St. Damian. There he composed this song in which he expressed his kinship with the various aspects of creation. G.K. Chesterton writes of St. Francis:

"He was above all things a great giver, and he cared chiefly for the best kind of giving
which is called thanksgiving."

This 35-page jacketed hardcover book is an elegant presentation of an inspirational work and is filled with glorious illustration in celebration of the heavens, the stars, the water, the earth. living beings and truth.

Many Moons - Art Postcard by Duane Michals

Duane Michals' moons are clever and curious, definitely evoking a smile.

His black and white drawing of a many-moonlit night is accompanied by his poem:

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY,
IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THERE
WERE MANY MOONS.
MY GRAND MOTHER HAD A MOON,
AND MY OTHER GRANDMOTHER HAD
ONE TOO. WE HAD A MOON OVER
BACKYARD, AND MY BEST FRIEND
ART HAD MOONLIGHT IN HIS BEDROOM
FROM HIS MOON
WHEN WE VISITED OUR RELATIVES
IN CHICAGO, I WAS NOT SURPRISED
TO DISCOVER THEIR MOON.
THEN ONE NIGHT, AS WE RETURNED
FROM A VISIT TO MY GRANDMOTHER
I WATCHED OUT OF THE CAR'S BACK
WINDOW AND SAW HER MOON
FOLLOW US HOME.
HER MOON WAS OUR MOON
THERE WAS JUST ONE MOON !
NOW THE SKY SEEMED SO EMPTY.

Letterpress Note card - Somebody Far

We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! The vintage illustration of a globe, slightly tilted and the old-time font of the verse accent the richly textured paper. And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.

The old-fashioned sentiment is perfect for so many occasions: birthday, thinking of you, the new year (whichever you celebrate), retirement, and so on:

Somebody far away wishes you
many happy returns of the day

The 3-1/4 by 5-1/4 inch size is just what you need for those short messages and quick thank you notes.

From the estate of Edward Gorey, we have this intriguing Hallowe'en postcard greeting. Quoting Blake and taken from Dracula:

The Bat that flits at close of Eve

Has left the Brain that won't Believe.

In typical Gorey style, we are baffled at the man in the moon appearing as a skull rather than alive, and the bat takes his respite upon a slice of another moon. - An eerie greeting on its own, and certainly a welcome addition to any Gorey-inspired Halloween!

Hand-Crafted Panoramic 3D Advent Calendar

The first known Advent Calendar was produced by hand around 1851 in Germany. Mainly a Protestant tradition, chalk-lines were ticked off as the days grew closer to Christmas. The first Advent Calendars didn't have windows to open. These were added early in the 20th century.

Our enchanting reproduction (from 1955) Moonlit Village Advent Calendar is approximately 19 inches wide, 8-1/2 inches high and over 11 inches deep. As you open the calendar, the three-dimensional scene of a winter town unfolds miraculously!

Young and old alike will marvel at the simple pleasure of opening each window, anticipation building as nearer the date you arrive! This calendar is not glittered, so you may choose to add a hint of mica glitter flakes to reflect your holiday lights.

Advent Calendars are re-usable, so start a new family tradition this year!

Art Postcard - The Little Prince (See Rightly)

Also available as a rubber stamp

We are all philosophers, but none so extraordinary as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, in his voice as the Little Prince. This lovely postcard bears one of the so expressive drawings and the sentiment:

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;

what is essential is invisible to the eye

On the back of the postcard, the same thought is translated into French (the original), German, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.

This sentiment is also available as a SilverCrow rubber stamp.
