Why Woolly loves beaver teeth

This photo explains why I love beaver teeth. They have a hidden grandeur, kind of like glaciers. You see an inch, but when you remove the tooth, it is amazingly long. This is why they have to keep chomping to file these babies down- like any rodent! Available at Woolly- along with full beaver skulls.

Animal Freaks!

Woolly fans! We are happy to introduce to you the first 4 animal freak prints up for adoption. After hearing about this private collection for a couple of years, we were finally able to acquire it from a museum. An unknown collector printed these images-(there are over 50) of real animal freaks. He/she even put the name of the owner and their location with each photo! They are sooooo cool!

We love our young customers!

Winnie came into the shop today. It was her 4th birthday. Her adorable family was escorting her through a list  of activities she created that she wanted to do on her birthday. Visiting "Lightning the Zebra" was #2 on her list, right after trying popcorn for the first time. My heart melted. She walked around the store asking wonderfully inquisitive and intelligent questions on all the animals, and she knew the difference between herbivores and carnivores! AWWW!

Here's Winnie and her birthday list!
