About

Unique, eco friendly pretend food for childrens’ imaginative play kitchens. Each piece is designed and hand crafted by me, using natural fiber fabrics and wool felt, sourced from repurposed garments. I always tell market customers that my food is the only food at the market you can’t eat, but it is machine washable, sugar/gluten/salt/calorie free with not expiration date, and it will provide years of fun play. I also make selected items suitable for pets.

Fiber artist and painter, I started my toy line when my first grandchild was given a play kitchen. I didn’t like most of the plastic foods and imports available at the time, and I’ve always recycled quality fabrics into my fiber art, so I felted a few cashmere sweaters to sew into fruits and vegetables, and my pretend, play food was off and running.
