IT’S Drinky and Perky! A pint-sized piglet called Perky risks turning into a lager snout — as he tries to hog a beer all to himself. The five-day-old porker, who weighs less than 2lbs and is just 9ins tall, is the tiniest pig ever born at Pennywell Farm in Buckfastleigh, Devon. Director Nicky Murray, 40, said: “He’s the smallest and cutest we’ve ever had. The staff here can’t get enough of him.” No-one likes a drunken oink, so we’re glad to report Perky didn’t turn into a boozy sow-and-so after pinching this pint from a worker. That was probably because he put his trotter in the lager, rather than using his mouth. Bless him — he’s obviously a little ham-fisted. See less

These ingenious chimes soothe with gentle musical notes, like spring rain dripping off tree leaves. Inside the solid wood cabinet are three bells and hundreds of tiny steel beads. Turn the box over and shake it so the beads cling to the top; set it on its feet, and they slowly start to fall in random, melodic patterns-some in chords, some with silence in between.

A happy couple represents a singular unity -- two heads, joined at the heart. Our two gorgeous statues truly exude the feeling of love that binds two people. The Shona tribes of Zimbabwe, literally translated as "the house of stone," are considered by many to be among the world's finest sculptors. Modern Shona artisans select and quarry their own stones, just as they did thousands of years ago. Statues are hand-carved using simple chisels, polished with sand and beeswax, and heated on a fire to bring out their brilliant colors. * Gentle Touch ($64.95) is out of stock. * Tender Kiss design ($29.95) measures approximately 5.75" T x 5" W (14.6 x 12.7 cm). Each handmade statue is unique. Fair-trade imported from Zimbabwe. International Shipping Available You might also be interested in: See less

Our stunning, museum-quality gourd carvings are truly exceptional. Tiny, intricate patterns, remarkable color juxtapositions, and lifelike folk art designs bring a breath of fresh, high-altitude Andean air from Peru directly to you! Fair-trade imported so you can rest assured the artisans were fairly paid for their work. Creating a carved gourd of this complexity is a time-consuming process. First the outer green skin is cut away, and the gourd is cleaned and dried in the sun. Next a design is drawn onto the gourd, and a carving tool called a buril is used to remove small pieces of the surface. To create the dark brown colors, burning pieces of Quinal wood are pressed into the gourd's surface. To create black backgrounds, a mixture of oil and straw charcoal is used. Finally, the gourd is washed and any remaining details are added. These gourds were created by families working in the artisan workshop of Artesanias Rojas, owned by artist Raquel Sabastian Rojas, in Cochas Chico, a... See less
