Collection: Animal Ornaments — Dogs, Birds and an Otter
A small series of animals, drawn one at a time and added only as each drawing earns its place - a golden retriever who has claimed the good chair, a beagle leaving with a shoe, an otterhound in full cry, a sea otter tied to the kelp so he does not drift off. Each is our own line drawing, black and white by design with one small flash of color where the story needs it, set in a three-inch faceted crystal round that reads from across the room on a lit tree. Boxed in white or gold, your choice, and shipped free anywhere in the U.S. Profits support hunger relief.

Choose a kind - a town, an animal or breed, a history or story, or anything else - tell us your idea, and we will let you know when it is live.

Product FAQs
How does your sizing work?
Because items are made to order, we can’t accept returns for sizing or color choices. We do accept returns for defects, misprints, or shipping damage. Please review the detailed photos and descriptions before purchasing. Women’s fitted tees run small; if you prefer a looser fit on that or any item, consider sizing up.
How do I send gifts?
All items ship without prices and include a simple packing slip for easy gifting. Enter the recipient’s shipping address and your billing address at checkout. Use your contact info to receive tracking updates. Orders typically arrive within 6–11 business days—please allow extra time for time-sensitive gifts.
How do I care for my item?
For apparel: wash cold, inside-out, with like colors; avoid bleach and high heat; tumble dry low or hang dry. For embroidery, iron inside-out to protect the stitching. See specific care instructions in product descriptions and also follow general best practices in caring for your items for long term enjoyment.
How are items made and when will they arrive?
We make each item on demand using premium blanks, embroidery, and soft-hand prints. Production usually takes 2–5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays). You’ll receive tracking once shipped. We currently ship to U.S. addresses via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. Most orders arrive within 6–11 business days.
What’s the return/exchange policy?
We accept returns for defects, misprints, or damage on arrival. Report issues within 30 days with photos and your order number, and we’ll replace or refund. Size or color changes aren’t supported after purchase, so please consult size charts before ordering if you are at all unsure.
