Something Fishy | Hand-Painted Shoes
$140.00

A little something from the deep end.

A pair of thrifted forest-green Free People clogs, hand-painted with an Alaskan salmon on one foot and an eyeball tangled in pink octopus tentacles on the other. Finished with gold moons and stars, inspired by Alaska with a touch of whimsy.

Mismatched on purpose. Strange in all the right ways.

Ringmaster’s Daughter Bronze Lamp
$245.00

Vintage bronze lamp · hand-altered shade · one of a kind

A vintage lamp that clearly wasn’t interested in staying quiet.

Ringmaster’s Daughter is a one-of-a-kind found & made piece, featuring an ornate bronze base and a vintage shade reworked with deep wine fringe, antique-toned chains, and tiny dangling charms. Including a mushroom, and a few other oddities.

The bronze base already had all the drama, so I just gave her a little more. A little circus, a little old parlor, a little “I found this in someone’s strange aunt’s house and absolutely had to take it home.”

Fully functional and made to be used, not just stared at.
