Hand Stitched House Hippo DIY Kit
$24.99
The elusive House Hippo has been one of the most desired creatures for Canadian kids since the early 1990's and now you can finally own one!
House Hippos are notoriously shy and nocturnal and are good at taking care of themselves. They love to munch on potato chips (because who doesn't?) and forage for crumbs and bits of dropped food. Keeping cozy is a top priority so they tend to build themselves little nests made up of lint, fuzzy scraps and odd socks. In the wild hippos are notoriously aggressive but House Hippos are docile around humans. When placed on a bedside table they make excellent defenders against anything that makes strange sounds at night.

Dreamcatcher DIY Kit
$29.99
Learn to make your own authentic dreamcatcher with this fun and easy to use DIY kit.
In Ojibwe culture, the story of dreamcatchers revolves around Asibikaashi, the Spider Woman, who served as a guardian for the Ojibwe people. As the community traversed the land, Asibikaashi undertook the responsibility of ensuring everyone's safety, resulting in women being tasked with weaving webs and placing protective charms to safeguard infants.
The hoop symbolizes the circle of life, while the web captures negative dreams. Feathers guide positive dreams to the dreamer, and a solitary bead represents the spider - the weaver of the web. The intricate design permits positive dreams to filter through while ensnaring negative ones, thereby ensuring a restful night's sleep.
The solitary large bead in this kit is cast from resin, and contains the 4 sacred medicines (Tobacco, Cedar, Sage, and Sweetgrass).
This kit comes with one 4" hoop, suede cord (in assorted colours at random) , beads, feathers, and sinew.
