last chance • things that are about to sell out!

Welcome to The Snack Shop! Inspired by pure nostalgia, happy childhood memories, and exciting trips to the grocery store, this series of stickers was made with pure joy in mind.

These eco-friendly acrylic magnets are made from 100% recycled acrylics that were destined for landfill and incineration.

These magnets are the perfect solution for anyone who loves my Snack Shop Stickers but also has sticker anxiety - that's where you love a sticker, want a sticker, but don't know where you'll put it.

I get it because I also have it. 

This super cute magnet is a part of my Snack Shop Collection! Buy any 5 Snack Magnets from The Snack Shop, automatically Get 1 of those for Free at checkout.

FEATURES

• An original illustration by Samantha Leung

200% of the proceeds of the sale of these Dove Risographs will be donated to Doctors Without Borders. They are on the ground around the world administering aid and care to those that need it.

A floating Dove in a sea of blue, printed with brilliant rice and soy-based Risograph inks.*

Risograph is a fascinating medium that uses actual ink, unlike laser jets, which is why I'm able to achieve this brilliant yellow and blue in my prints. Additionally, the colors are transparent, which is why I'm able to overlay inks achieving new hues.

Risograph printing is extraordinarily environmentally friendly, where the screens that are used are made from rice and banana leaves and the inks are derived from rice and soy.

This particular illustration was drawn by hand, redrawn with each layer separated and scanned, and then printed here in Seattle.

DETAILS •

• 8x10" Print
• Creamy Ivory 90lb. Paper
• Printed with Yellow, Pink, Black and Blue Ink on four screens
• Open Edition Print
• Each Print is signed on the bottom of the print along with the title
• Hand drawn by Samantha Leung

Please note: Due to the nature of Risograph, where each layer of color is printed one at a time, your print may differ slightly from the photo. This is called misregistration and is one of the most charming aspects of Risograph Printing

*The latest run was printed from a digital file which has a smoother blue background than pictured here.

Made with luxe wool, these kitty cat toys are filled with high-quality catnip and are Tater Tot* approved! I hope that you and your kitties love these sweet little fishies too!

These Kitty Fishies are made using scraps from my Wool Pin Pennants. Further reducing my waste, and making something fun and joyful in the process.

Happy Fishing!

*tater tot is one of the sweet kitties of HEMLEVA

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN •
These Fishies were designed to fit in their mouth for kitties to carry around, have varying thicknesses (thinner fins) so they can be grabbed easily, a longer body so they can be used as a mini kicker, filled to the brim with catnip, so when the body is bitten it'll release the aroma, and to help with their natural hunting instincts.

DETAILS •

• 1 Fishie • ~3.5” tall and 6" wide
  or 2 Anchovies • ~2.5" tall and 6" wide
  

• Ingredients • Wool, Catnip, Cotton Thread

• COLORS • They will be lucky dip! If you purchase more than one, I will do my best to make sure you don't have doubles. If there is a specific color that you would like though, please let me know when you checkout or reply to your Order Confirmation email to let me know!

Dreamy, soft, and perfectly Pacific Northwest, the Head in the Clouds Seattle Hat brings a touch of sky, joy and whimsy to your everyday adventures.

Across the front, “SEATTLE”, which was hand lettered by Samantha of HEMLEVA, is embroidered in soft, bold, 3D puff letters for that extra pop of texture and personality. Each hat is carefully embroidered right here in Seattle by a talented woman-owned embroidery shop, making it as local as it is lovely.

Whether you’re strolling Pike Place Market, going for a hike up Mt. Rainier, sipping coffee on a misty morning, camping, or just daydreaming under blue skies, this hat is your wearable love letter to the Emerald City.

PRODUCT DETAILS •

• "SEATTLE" text is in light blue with a very cool 3D effect that can be seen from very far away. The letters were hand drawn by Samantha to resemble Mylar balloons and clouds.
• Embroidered in Seattle, WA
• The cap is unstructured and will lie closely to the head
  
• It includes 6 Panels which makes it better fitted
  
• It has a slightly pre-curved visor
• It features a Tuck Strap with Slide Closure for a custom fit

SIZE •

• The short answer is this hat is One-Size-Fits Most and includes an adjustable strap that is tucked into the interior of the hat for a fitted feel
• Min Circumference: ~ 50cm/19.5"
  Max Circumference: ~ 64cm/25"
• The long answer is that a few years ago I learned that Asian heads are shaped differently. So my entire life I have been under the impression that I had a large head - in reality, it is simply differently shaped which is why free novelty hats, and hats I would try on at the hat store in the mall (you know which one) never fit me.
  
  I learned about this in my SAT (Subtle Asian Traits) Facebook Group where they talked about snowboarding helmets. (I know, but I warned you that this was the long answer before you even started reading this!) So when I started researching hats I bought 13 different hats to see which one fit the best. Because the fact of the matter is that I wanted to sell a hat, it was going to fit my head. And if it fit my head, it would also fit almost everyone else's heads too.

MATERIAL •

• 100% garment dyed and washed cotton twill

CARE •

• You can either hand wash, spot treat or machine wash your hat! Maytag wrote a very complete article on how to take care of your hat, including vintage hats, that you can find here.

The Pilea peperomioides is also known as the Chinese Money Plant, Pancake, or UFO Plant. My favorite nickname though, is The Friendship Plant.

Native to China, it is believed that a Norwegian missionary took cuttings with him when he returned home in the 1940s. And the way that this plant spread in popularity was through the sharing of its pups (babies). This is also why this plant is also known as the Friendship Plant.

Inspired by that history, I have a Friendship Set, which will include one Large Pilea Pin and one Small Pilea Pin, both on one card. If you would like each on their own card back, please let me know in the comments section when you checkout.
