The School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Potter stopped by the shop this week.  Harry Potter that is.  I had a custom request from a lovely customer for a Harry Potter set including Hagrid, Snape, Voldemort, McGonagall, Dumbledore, Hermoine, Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy.  I just love how they turned out so they are now apart of the Knottingwood family

Raggedy Ann and Andy also stopped by. 

I have quite a few project ideas on the table and in my head.  Each weekend I've been taking time to create new items to keep the shop fresh.  M-F is dedicated to custom orders.  I like the new work schedule as it gives me a chance to get creative and keep me out of a rut.

The husband and I are enjoying a nice holiday weekend hope you are too!  Oh and I made my first loaf of bread in the bread maker this week.  Came out fab!  I'll share some soon!

Re-Branding

It could be suicide but I've changed my business name from The Pretty Pixie to Knottingwood.  I wanted something that represented what I do.  The Pretty Pixie just wasn't me.  I chose Knottingwood because it reminds me of imagination and creativity.  A magical place where any dream you have can come to life.  It's a perfect fit.  My goal is bring your imagination to life, from whimsical play sets to fairytale wedding cake toppers.   Now my little cottage business feels right.

With the new name comes a new shop logo..........

I have a ton of new product ideas I will begin rolling out in time for quick delivery for the holidays.  My latest is Eleanor's play house  a 6 piece play set complete with trees!

Knottingwood is now on twitter too!  Follow us and be the first to learn about new products, secret sales and follower only discounts.  On the sidebar of the blog you will see a tweet button, spread the word!

That's pretty much it on my side of the world.  I'm of to order all new promotional products and clean my kitchen....Ugh...

The Samurai King

Happy Wednesday!  It's rainy here in NJ.  I like rainy days when I have no where to go.  Just spend the day painting and sipping green tea.

A few weeks back I painted Ito a Geshia Kokeshi doll a lovely customer contacted me with interest in her but also a male counterpart.  We'll she was in luck!  I had been secretly plotting to paint a Samurai King.  With her interest I got to work.  I really love this new form of doll to paint so watch for more to come.  Each design will be produced in limited number and then retired.  Numbered and signed by me.  Maybe a certificate of authenticity too!  Now I present to you The Samurai King.....

He is approx 4 1/2" High.  

Head is movable so you can "pose" him

The happy couple is sold.  

Check my shop for more to come soon..

If you would like to create your own custom kokeshi doll visit my shop or send me an email

Single kokeshi's are $35.00 each

Happy Wednesday
