Wee Forest Folk Florence & George is delighted to introduce a family of fanciful miniature mice, handcrafted in the USA by the Petersen family since 1972. Annette Petersen crafted her first little mouse nearly four decades ago, and today is joined in the wee mouse world by Annette, Willy and Donna, the next generation of Petersens. They describe their creative process this way. "We make the mold, cast it, and a little mouse begins to emerge. Meticulous handpainting and an enormous amount of patience and time brings each sculpture to life". All of the Wee Forest Folks are hand-crafted entirely in the small town of Carlisle in eastern Massachusetts.

Mullanium Art Though the phrase "Steampunk" first originated in the 1980s, the roots of the genre were first established in the time period it emulates, the 1890s, with the works of early science fiction giants like H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Mary Shelley.

Today the genre and its precepts can be found in every layer of entertainment and now, thanks to Pennsylvanian artists Jim and Tori Mullan, the genre has infiltrated classic American art pieces.

Jim and Tori's parallel love of antique watches and vintage toys drew them together over two decades ago, but their artistic endeavors bonded them for life.

Artistic endeavors which include the adorning of antique metal pieces to wooden animal sculptures forming a striking juxtaposition.

Each piece is as unique in its creation as it is in its originality, a surefire centerpiece for your home.

Because each wooden piece is adorned using unique antique pieces (such as binoculars and croquet balls), no two pieces are exactly alike. Each is signed and dated by the artist.

Spring Weddings

| ANTIQUE WEDDING GLOBE, ONEOF-A-KINDS From a privately owned French wedding museum come antique 19th century French wedding globes known as "globes de mariee". Each young bride and groom chose the objects to place inside a globe that would symbolize their union and their dreams, including mirrors, birds, ivy leaves, and flowers, and so important was the tradition that the globe de mariee ("the bride's wedding globe") lived in a place of honor in the home throughout the marriage. Each of our wedding globes, which make elegant and completely novel gifts for wedding or anniversaries, comes with its own antique base and globe and certificate of authenticity. Each is different, but you can expect to receive one similar to those shown. We will include a complimentary copy of Florence Theriault's book "Memories of a Marriage" recounting the legend of the globes.
