Sterling Silver Blanket-Baby
with a smile face The Cradleboard Baby™ Series [Shop online] was born out of a desire to find something suitable for Mother’s day that would show the special love a mother feels towards her children.Limited edition 
Cradle-board Baby Having been involved with Native American teachings, Peter saw that the way a Native American Mother swaddled and carried her baby was a true testament to the love she felt for her child. There were many unique and beautiful cradle boards made and our representation of them is just Peter’s interpretation of them. Our most popular version is the Blanket Baby™  [Shop online] . Each one was created by Peter and now is able to be cast so everyone can enjoy one of their very own. Our faces are made out of rock ivory, a man made polymer resin and you can chose the smiling baby or the baby in a song pose. Songs are like prayers in the Native American realm and Peter thought having that as one of his faces was further tribute to their culture.

The Northwoods Collection™ [Shop online] was again born out of Peter’s Northwoods Collection Tree of Life Pendant need to pay homage to spring. The first tree was designed one gray late winter day when the Maple trees were just showing signs of life. Again, the master pieces have been created and will soon be available for everyone. They are sometimes called the tree of life, quite by accident. When Peter put that first tree on display at the store, the first customer came in and saw the new item and remarked how lovely the tree of life pendant was. Northwoods Collection Moose PendantWe make a variety of different styles, one for everyone, in earrings and pendants.
Out of the tree grew the Moose first. Here in Ludlow Vermont, we are always searching for that elusive Moose and again Peter decided to put it in silver, mostly I think so I would shut up, but it is a beauty! We have him standing with a pine tree, which was one of our other ideas. Why have just a pine tree when you can have a Moose too! Keep checking our Northwoods Collection as we are always adding to it. Recently we had the incredible good fortune to see two baby Bear cubs run across the road, so of course you can tell where this is going. Then there are the loons, we love the Loons and yep, I want a Loon pendant as well. So as you can see, we are constantly updating and poor Peter is pretty busy trying to keep up with my “wants.”
