Daily Candy tapped us for a deal this week. It always pushes our little series of tubes to the limit, but we love it.

Erica Weiner has a knack for making beautiful jewelry out of vintage finds. We’ve long admired her creativity, and are excited to have her in the shop. Each piece is handmade in the Lower East Side of NYC, a neighborhood full of history, hidden alleyways, and some very old school pickles.

We’re in love with these new eco-friendly Giraffe and Elephant Block Sets. Each set includes a cute giraffe or elephant, wheeling around his own cart filled with blocks. Made entirely of sustainably harvested wood, each piece is crafted with care and child-safe. The natural beauty and color of the wood really shine through, making for a gorgeous toy that will last.
