Camping in the Adirondacks, rustic fires and ghost stories all come to mind with this striking frame made of birch bark.

Large Handmade Colonial Wooden Nicho

More Frames & Nichos

More Wooden Things

It is hard to describe these wonderful Mexican Colonial Style Nichos or Frames as anything other than stunning. They are simply made of rough wood in the colonial style. Atop each one is a concha that has been accented with traditional Mexican folk-art painting to accent the shape.

The frame is hand-crafted by Mexican Artisans in the tradition of the ages old craft of woodworking and hand painting. These wonderful frames are created from native wood then hand painted. No two are alike although they are quite similar as you can see in our illustrated examples. The colors are deep earth tones (typical to the colonial style), such as eggplant, rust, mottled green, golden and darkened eggshell.

Each frame measures 15 inches high (including the decorative concha at the top) and 8 inches wide. The recessed niche can hold a small Santo or saint statue, a photograph or portrait of a loved one, or can house your mementos and special keepsakes. You might also consider adding a mirror inside as a backing.

The inside niche measures 11 inches high by about 5-1/2 inches wide and is 2 inches deep. The inner niche remains open, allowing you to change your display easily. This is the traditional colonial style.

We have only a few of these and each is different, making yours unique. The colors are all similar and compliment each other. These are truly a special find and we are no longer able to acquire these.

Because these frames are handmade, please let us choose one for you. Each is painted in the same manner, so it will be quite similar.

Kudzu Soap

More Soaps & Bath Products

Realizing that someone's trash is another one's treasure, the makers of Kudzu Bath Soap have created quite a fragrant and emollient bath soap. Kudzu is known as the unstoppable vine - it can grow up to a foot a day in the warmer climates of the United States. Once an Asian plant only, it was brought to the USA by the Japanese for an exhibition over 80 years ago.

Kudzu is a protector against erosion, but it can grow much too fast, actually overpowering other plants in its path. It is edible and goats love it, but even the southern goats can't eat enough of it to control its speedy movement.

So, here we have this wonderful natural soap made of that fragrant leafy vine. Created from a vegetable glycerin base, the only added ingredients are kudzu extract and kudzu fragrance.

Although every piece is different because the pendants are handmade, each combines vintage photographs, papers and words. This is also striking with an added ribbon, draped over the corner of a mirror or a framed picture of yourself as a child.

Two pendants are shown to illustrate the front and back. The pendant measures about 1-1/2 inch long by 1 inch wide and the bail is large enough for just about any chain, ribbon or cord.

Mini Tree of Life Birthday Candelabra

These wonderful little candles arrive 24 to a box - delightfully made of corrugated cardboard and tied with natural raffia. These are the candles we include with our Mexican Tree of Life Mini Candleholder! These natural candles are a subtle ivory color.

Beeswax candles are handmade of 100% pure beeswax and cotton wicks - no metals are involved. They are healthy, too, as they are naturally made of flowers by the bees themselves - of course, people help turn the beeswax into the actual candles!

They are of course, natural and clean and hypoallergenic. When burning, they create a delicate hint of a honey scent and fill the environment around them with negative ions and positive energy.

Because beeswax is a renewable energy source, you'll be helping the environment as you celebrate getting older.

Saint Jude Medal

More Medals, Milagros & Amulets

Saint Jude is the Patron Saint of lost or impossible causes. It is believed that this patronage has been derived from the confusion by many early Christians between Jude and Judas not understanding the difference in the names. No one ever prayed for Jude's help, and devotion to him became something of a lost cause.

Made famous by comedian Danny Thomas, St Jude has come to represent hope and much more than just lost causes. St Jude's Children's Research Hospital, created by Danny Thomas after his prayer was heard, provides treatment for children who suffer from catastrophic medical conditions, without regard to the family's ability to pay.

We have searched high and low for a wonderful Day of the Dead Ofrenda to offer to you. And, we finally found one!. From the little wooden table to all of the offerings, everything is hand made and hand painted.

Each table is painted a different color, making the one you receive even more yours! The table top is trimmed with lace and covered with an assortment of foods, skulls, candles, dinnerware and holy pictures. You might consider adding a miniaturized photograph of your ancestor to the table as well.

The entire piece measures 3 inches high (including the offerings). The tables, because they are hand made, vary slightly in size, but they average around 4 inches long by 2-3/4 inches wide.

Although the design is similar, each of the individual pieces varies slightly due to the nature of hand-made folk art. And the items on the table may differ slightly and may even be placed a little differently. We had a hard time choosing which one to photograph as they were all so wonderful!

Please let SilverCrow choose one for you.

Polished Black Oval Volcano Bead fashioned from Natural Lava

More Beads

More Naturals

Basalt is an igneous (now, remember your Geology Class) rock formed when a volcano erupts. These gorgeous natural lava cube beads are created from a milk chocolaty or grey stone, then they are waxed for preservation and to smooth them. Natural basalt is rough to the touch. Once the stone is waxed, it appears to be black, but is probably more like an extremely dark grey.

Each bead is completely different from the next due its natural origins. There are visible holes and bubbles that create a superb tactile sensation. Jewelry made from these beads will be touched a lot.

Each oval measures 24 mm by 18 mm (and is about 6 mm thick). The drilling is through the length..

Several beads shown for variability.

Stunning in its simple complexity, our Raven Girl Pendant has been hand carve in bone. The beautiful woman's hair turns into a raven's feathers (or, might it be the other way, or both?) The variation in color is a natural feature of the bone. We think it adds to the beauty of the carving, giving it a depth that a single tone would not allow.

The bail is sterling silver and can accommodate a larger chain or ribbon. There are so very many possibilities for this pendant! It measures 3 inches long. The bail adds another 1/4 inch. At its widest, it measures 1-1/4 inch.

Although the pendants are similar, these are hand carved of natural bone, so please allow for slight variation.

Vintage Little Orphan Annie Pin

Leapin' lizards! Were we ever excited to find these wonderful old Little Orphan Annie pins. We think they are made of celluloid or bakelite. Though not advertised as such, we've performed the standard tests and expect that they are.

Each measure 1-1/2 inch from her chin to the top of her curly hair and 1-1/4 inch wide. When we discovered these they were all attached to canvas, so we left them on the material for you.

The back of the pin is glued on. So, we're not really sure if this motif was originally meant to be a pin or not. We suspect these to hail from sometime mid 20th century.

Because you're never fully dressed without a smile, if you're in a bad mood, just put this pin on and let Annie smile for you...we're sure that will engender many a smile from those you meet.

The Joseph Cornell Box: Found Objects, Magical Worlds

More Collage & Assemblage

Working with found objects, pages from old books, and dime-store trinkets, self-taught artist Joseph Cornell (1903–1972) transformed everyday materials into extraordinary universes. By collecting and carefully juxtaposing his treasures in small, glass-front boxes, this pioneering artist invented visual poems exploring themes as varied as the night sky, the romantic ballet, glamorous movie stars, and bird habitats.

This lavishly illustrated and collaged book presents Cornell’s life and art, his sources of inspiration, and artistic process, along with six project ideas. Housed in a sturdy keepsake box with a see-through front window and removable grid, the package also includes materials to jump-start the creative process—printed sheets for collage, a metal ring, antique tags, and a magnifier. The box measures 7-1/4 by 9-1/4 inches.

Throughout his odd life and career, Dalí provided both his admirers and critics with ample substance for discussion. He is best known for his surreal and often philosophical works which erase the defenses amongst mind, matter, spirit and the netherworld. Rarely content with the rational, the tarot in any form was obvious choice project for his later years.

This deck is nothing less than spectacular! It is fully functional for any tarot reading you may undertake. But please consider it for the delicious artwork and fine craftsmanship.

Cards are approximately 3-1/8 by 5 inches and arrive in a lovely velvet slip case. Each card is edged in 24-carat gold. The major arcana are captioned in both English and Dalí's native Spanish. Card backs are designed with a repeating Dalí signature.

Interestingly enough, he chose a self-portrait of himself as The Magician!

Wow! This large (10-inch long) bird is made of cardboard and feathers. S/he was hand painted and has chopped up cellophane for hair! This great little pink, white and blue bird was probably originally red, white and blue. But, it's just as cool in its faced glory.

Each bird is attached to a wooden stick by a long string. Holding the stick, you swing the bird around your head and the bird will fly and make a squeaking noise. These are vintage, so please allow for some variation in color and expected wear.

Although it is not marked, we suspect that this fun toy was made in Japan. It is in great condition for its age, having been from some time around 1950. They were found in storage in the Columbus, Ohio warehouse of a carnival distributor.

We are living in a golden age of self-expression. The explosion of user-created content on blogs and social networking sites moved Time magazine to name "You" their 2006 person of the year.

But while we may be spending a lot more time in virtual worlds, we have not lost the urge to make our physical world more meaningful. By leaving art and ideas in public places, you can affect someone's day—change their mood or their mind—and maybe even change the world in the process! The Guerilla Art Kit shows how small artistic acts can start a revolution.

Keri Smith, noted author of Living Out Loud and the blog Wish Jar Journal, uses her unique drawing and handwriting style to help anyone find and release their inner artist or activist. This visually exciting activity book—full of step-by-step exercises, cut-out projects, sticker ideas, and more—has both fun assignments and handy tips to help you unleash your creative energy into the streets, where you can really make an impact.

From the quick exercises—leaving books for strangers to find, chalking quotes on the sidewalk—to the more involved—making a "wish tree," guerilla gardening, or making your own stencils—The Guerilla Art Kit contains everything you need to put your message out into the world.

This hardcover and spiral bound book contains 144 inspirational pages with 70 color and 10 black and white images.

Vintage Horseshoe-Shaped Tobacco Tag

We bought these from someone who declared that her 97-year-old grandfather told her that his mother used to chew tobacco and she saved these horseshoe plug tags.

These tags were used around the early 1900s to mark plugs of tobacco - tobacco for chewing. Around that time, it was made by pressing cured tobacco leaves together in a molasses-based or other sweet syrup. This was a hand-on process. Customers would cut, or even bite off, a piece of the plug to chew.

Tags like these were used to identify the plug manufacturer. Although many such tags bore the name of the tobacco grower or producer, these do not. Most of these are quite rusty. The points bend under to attach them to the tobacco, or of course, to your project! Some of the points are bent backward already, so please be careful - the points are sharp!

This handy gadget can actually replace another person (well, not completely). But, for those projects that seem impossible because you just can't situate everything, this handy-dandy tool may just fill the bill. It clamps onto any flat surface (such as a table-top), and handily clamps your fabric or other item that has to be held - leaving both of your human hands free to work on the project.

The original tools were called bird and clamp as the device for holding the fabric was cleverly shaped as a bird, it's beak holding the project. We found this design much more useful (albeit, more industrial looking) as it enables the project to move or swivel while you work, if necessary.

Originally published in 1917, this little book is loaded with interesting information. Both the first and last several pages are filled with advertisements for the original publisher's other works, such as Cold Meat and How to Disguise It and Keeping Rabbits.

We are coaxed within by the back cover description:

The foretelling of past and future events by the reading of hands can be traced by to the Ancient Egyptians. This book gives an in depth study of what information can be gained from hands. From "hints to parents and guardians" to "choosing employees and domestic servants." Making in all a fascinating read even for the most sceptic [sic] of readers.

This book was and is a favorite of our grandson, Grayson's - in fact, he needed several copies: one for home, one for here and one for somewhere else! Indeed, it is a favorite of ours as well.

First told by Dr. Seuss way back in 1984, the story of the Butter Battle is still an appropriate cautionary tale - a good lesson for every day life as well as for countries throughout the world. The story is told by a Yook grandfather, explaining why the Zooks are so terrible:

It seems that,

It's high time that you knew
of the terribly horrible thing that Zooks do.
In every Zook house and every Zook town
every Zook eats his bread with the butter side down!

The tale is told in cleverly cunning rhyme with that cadence we all love. And the young Yook child learns about hate and intolerance and reciprocal violence. Such a message is universal and for all time.

We have not opened all of the boxes in order to preserver their vintage value, we are not sure if they are complete and unbroken. But, in the sample boxes we opened - all were present, individually wrapped and intact.

At less than 18¢ each, you'll be able to complete several projects with these great glass pieces. They also make great collectibles for anyone in the optical professions!

Measuring from the bottom of her broom to the front brim of her hat, our little witch is about 2 inches. from side to side, she measures about 1-3/4 inch. But she doesn't seem so big. We think it's because of the unique components She is made of molded plastic and then distressed richly, making her scarier than ever. Her little broom is made of horsehair fibre, which adds another eerie effect.

Because of the positioning of her broom, she looks best flying left to right. Although she is reversible, her broom is more prominent as pictured. Her other profile is less distressed.

Oxidized Silvery Chai Charm

This well known symbol, seen worldwide on ornaments, jewelry, T-Shirts and more, is the Hebrew word for living - Chai. It is a combination of the two Hebrew letters Cheit and Yod.

As with any symbol there are many interpretations. Our favorite is that this simple symbol represents the importance of life. The symbol is specific to Jewish culture, but it has been slipping into other cultures easily. The well-know Jewish toast l'chayim means to life. The numerical representation of Chai is 18, so gifts to charity are routinely given in multiples of 18.

Our little charm is made of oxidized silvery metal measures about 5/16 inch high by 1/2 inch wide.

The Giving Tree

'Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.'

So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein.

Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave.

This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.

Meant for children of any age, this is truly one of our most favorite books, and has been for years.

The hard-covered book is slip covered and contains 64 pages that are wonderfully illustrated.

Oh, wow! Were we ever excited to have found these! These are so very special - they were made in the 1940s and were usually include with a figural balloon, like a clown or Santa or even a Disney character. They were actually mentioned in the June, 1951 issue of Mechanix Illustrated.

This little cardboard gizmo looks just like a pair of clown shoes. The die-cut cardboard is charming in its simplicity. And, the instructions are printed right on the item itself:

TOSS-UP BALLOON
Twist balloon at mouthpiece,
inserting end in hole in card-
board feet, pull up through slot.

Now the fun begins. Once the balloon is placed in the shoes, you toss it up and wow! it lands on its feet. The simple physical dynamics make it work.

We have seen packages of these with their balloons sell for as high as $85.00!

Why not have some old-fashioned fun with these at your next party with balloons. These are meant for balloons you blow up yourself, not for helium-inflated balloons.

Each piece measures about 5 by 3-1/2 inches. They arrive in packages of 5. Balloon not included.

Now the fun comes when you place an object behind it - the object will appear to be double! This is because rent indices of refraction of light that defines optical calcite. This stone is sometimes called a TV Stone because of the refracting nature.

Each is all glittery and can either stand on his little circle of snow, or hang from the attached golden thread.

Although these are mass-produced items, they are each made by hand - and are even hand painted! We fell in love with this little fellow and thought you might, too.

Vintage POISON Label

More Ephemera

More Hallowe'en

We love old labels and this one is extra special. The skull and crossbones symbol indicates that this is a poison. The vintage label is printed in red like most pharmacy labels from the early 20th century. The back of the label has a gummed backing indicating a water-moistened adhesive. Now we don't suggest that you lick these to adhere to your project as we're not sure of the origins or content of the glue. You can use any water-based glue to adhere it to your project. Or, if you dare, dampen the adhesive lightly with a well-squeezed sponge (don't use too much water!) and hope for the best!

Each 2-1/2 by 1-1/8 inch label reads:

AQUA AMMONIA
POISON
Directions for Treatment - Antidotes
External - Flood with water, then wash with vinegar.
Internal - Give vinegar, or juice of lemon, grapefruit, or
orange, copiously. Follow with olive oil.
Eyes - Wash out with 5% boric-acid solution.
Call physician.

Frameable Note Card - Matted Print Ready for framing: Symmetry of Man by Leonardo da Vinci

More Note Cards

More Leonardo da Vinci

Vitruvian Man Charm

This famous print, Symmetry of Man or alternatively, Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci has been professionally matted and transformed into a frameable note card. It will fit any standard 5 by 7 inch frame. The card is blank inside, so you can add your own message. Each comes with a white acid free, beveled edge mat that has been professionally cut. Each card is sealed in a protective sleeve that you remove before sending it in the accompanying envelope.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci is the archetype of the Renaissance man: he is best known as an artist and inventor, but also shone as a scientist, mathematician, engineer, anatomist, architect, botanist, musician and writer. In fact, in art, he was a portraitist, skilled in illustration, still life and landscapes, as well as sculpture in many media.

This is one of his best known drawings wrought in pen on paper in Florence around 1490. It features the anatomy of a man in symmetry (if symmetry even exists!). This image has been prominent on many items for years, even appearing on the Euro.

Now you have a card that becomes a present, too! Such a striking print as this might cost much more on its own!

Individually hand-made and painted skulls and devils were added in brightly painted colors - perhaps highlighting the paradox of the circus itself! We just love these!

Because these are hand-crafted and hand-painted, please allow some variance in design. The basic color is a deep turquoise with bright circus colors added the exterior. The individual skulls and devils vary as well. Please let us select one for you as all of them are magnificent.

As you sit,
This paper's strong

Another one reads:

Please pull the chain,

Plastic Nursery Rhyme Plaque - Jack & Jill

More Vintage Items

See Saw Margery Daw Plaque

This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque measures about 8 inches wide by 5-3/4 inches high. Jill and Jack are running with their pail as a couple of bunnies and a bird look on. It is made of light blue hard plastic and includes the Jack and Jill Nursery Rhyme:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.

There are so many sources of origin claimed for the Jack and Jill rhyme, that it is hard to know which is true. Many nursery rhymes began as satirical poems regarding the politics of the day. Still others were meant tell the stories of history to children, modified to help soften the harsher news.

Some say that Jack and Jill is the story of the beheading of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. Others insist that it was modeled after a fairy tale about 2 childhood friends in Norway. And still another associates it with the British monetary unit, gill, and the jackpot that ensued for the country.

Pouch of Iron Pyrite - Fool's Gold

More Natural Specialties

Iron Pyrite is a crystal that usually forms as a cube with striations on each face, or side. Sometimes it is found in larger pieces and as course granules. But, it is usually found in little nuggets, just like gold. As a matter of fact, it is often found near gold deposits. Because of its golden color and proximity the the real thing, it is often mistaken for the much more valuable gold. So, it is known as Fool's Gold.

Its brassy yellow color might resemble gold, but its other physical properties are very different. Pyrite is harder, less dense, and more brittle than gold. If you strike it with steel, it produces a spark. It leaves a greenish-black streak while gold leaves a golden-yellow one. Because it is often found near gold (and copper) deposits, if you find some, you may be nearing a deposit of the real thing!

Iron pyrite is used for its high sulfur content and is mined for that reason worldwide, as it is quite common.

Our little muslin pouch holds nuggets Fool's Gold to collect or use in your artwork or school project.

yARTstick - 2000 years of Painting on 2000 MM

Now this is NOT the reason that this company made the yARTstick, but what we like to do with it is saw it up. There are tons of fine are paintings already on wood. So, saw them apart, add a bail, and voilà you have a pendant or charm, or a dollhouse painting, or, whatever you can dream up!

By the running meter - the yARTstick presents, in four-color prints, highlights of 2,000 years of painting history. It allows you to tell at a glance that though the themes have barely changed, their manifestations certainly have. This wooden ruler features illustrations and a measuring stick in centimeters and millimeters.

On the yARTstick, the history of painting of the last 2000 years is depicted in 58 selected pictures. The selection process has yielded a mixture of world famous as well as lesser known motifs, which together express the most important themes, techniques and temperaments. The line of images illustrates the development through the centuries: From Roman funeral art and mosaics in the first centuries AD, through works of Islamic, Chinese and Mayan art, into the Renaissance and on to the modern era. Details of eyes and hands are recurring motifs throughout the two millenniums.

On one side of the yARTstick, folding ruler are the pictures. On the flip side, where the 2,000 years of painting history are divided into 2000 mm, the individual works of art are placed in their historical context and referenced according to the period and the artist, the title of the work, the technique used, the year of the work's creation and the country of origin. If the work is immobile, the city where it is located is also named.

Block Print Note card - City Night Sparkle with Crystal Accents

More NoteCards

More Heavens & Skies

Visions of the city at night or day make for an elegant hand-printed card. Rising skyscrapers touch the skies filled with the moon and stars.

Each card is printed front-and back on Italian mould-made paper using an original design from a hand-carved linoleum black, then hand-finished with Austrian crystal rhinestones. The image was inspired by Art Deco design - the first truly international style that flourished during the 1920s and 1930s.

Created by Spotbear Productions, the card measures 3-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches and is accompanied by a matching envelope. The inside is blank for your own message.

Zenith 595 Stapler

Much like the Zenith 590 Fun! Stapler and the 591 Stapler, the Zenith 595 Plier Stapler is sturdy and wonderful to use. It's metal body and mechanical parts ensure its long-term use! The ABS anti-shock plastic cap makes re-filling with staples an easy proposition and is great for people with limited hand strength.

The Zenith 595 works with Art. 115 Staples (standard sized staples) and presents exceptional characteristics such as the easy loading system - from the top, without the extractable spring-action pusher. So, there are no parts to lose!

We have a limited number of these larger staplers, so please let us choose a color for you.

Each stapler arrives with a box of 1000 staples. Additional staples are available below.

More Crows, Ravens & Other Blackbirds

For those of you who have difficulties in determining birds from flowers, this book will be invaluable. For those of you who do not have a problem in this respect, you will find the verses most amusing

Of course we had to offer you a book that has a crow on the cover, even if it might be occasionally confused with a crocus! This sweet paperback is a facsimile reproduction of a 1907 American printing.

Each animal-vegetable set is addressed in verse with delightful pen-and-ink drawings of the subjects to accompany the little poems.

Bottle Cork Menorah

These wonderful little candles arrive 45 to an organza bag - beautifully tied with a silken ribbon. They are traditional Hanukkah size and will fit most menorahs. Each is 5 inches high and the bottom diameter is about 5/16 inch and tapers gracefully to the top.

We offer 4 varieties:

Natural and Pale Blue
Multicolor
Sea Blue (Limited Edition)
All Natural

They are of course, natural and clean and hypoallergenic. When burning, they create a delicate hint of a honey scent and fill the environment around them with negative ions.

Because beeswax is a renewable energy source, you'll be helping the environment as you celebrate getting older.

Vintage Oak Church Shelf

More Church Items

More Useful Décor

This gorgeous shelf mounts easily on a wall (but it's heavy so mount it well!) From bottom to top it measures 33 inches. It is 17 inches wide. Each of the 2 shelves is 14 inches deep. An indentation on the top shelf allows you to place something that needs stabilization without, such as a dish or other display item. The cross on top is removable, but we think it gorgeous as is.

The shelf is in original condition - without refinishing. The patina is superb. There are some minor blemishes from normal usage. The shelf is from a 1913 Lutheran Church in Donora, Pennsylvania. We have seen similar shelves sell for over $600.00.

Please note that shipping outside the USA will require an additional charge. Please call for an estimate.

Saint Florian is the protector or patron saint of Firefighters, the Fire Service, and Chimney Sweeps, - and any others who protect or save us from fire.

This makes a very special good luck medal (of oxidized modern pewter) for a firefighter or someone who loves a firefighter - helping to remember those who risk their lives to the protection of others from fire.
