MISS VICKY is ready for tea in her best Victorian finery. She is created in ‘cage doll’ style, with a steampunk bird inside the cage. Since Miss Vicky is holding the cage’s key, what is the story that is being created here – is she putting him inside the cage, or letting him fly free? Wool felt body with silk blouse and hat, glass eyes (with lashes) and felted details. Needle-felted bird with metal and natural feather embellishments, sitting inside a metal cage. 21″ tall, 8″ wide, and 6″ deep. $650

LITERARY LIZA is a wise owl who is ready to seek out your next favorite read. While her favorites are historical fiction and fairy tales, she can also help you to find great classic novels, science fiction, or true crime. She is not, however, a fan of westerns so you’d better search out another source for those recommendations! At 13 inches tall with a base of 6″ by 8″ and slightly steampunk in style, she has a necklace of saltwater pearls, hand-made wire spectacles, and a handcrafted book of fairy tales as her base. $550
