You can now purchase a few select pieces via the Land of Nod website and catalog. Having long been a fan of them and their aesthetic ~

pretty exciting!

{also funny is their tip featured on the same catalog page as my art, about using shipping boxes to build a dollhouse ~ that was my very first dollhouse! loved making one out of a cardboard box. I made curtains for the windows and everything!}

Just looked closer at the site. I wish they let you keep your original titles. Your titles are WAY better than theirs... :o)

Sweet. This is a new catalogue to me. Dangerous!

We recently made unicorn homes for the girls from boot boxes. Not nearly as pretty, but they liked them - for a day.

What great news for you! I love their products too...and really, the whole style of their catalogs.

I remember box dollhouses too. I used contact paper (remember contact paper?!?) for floors and walls. It got pretty fancy!

So exciting Marisa: My very first purchase from Land of Nod was when they were just a very small business (working out of their basement in the north suburbs of Chicago) I could not find cool baby bedding for Benny (now 14) of course and they had a write up in the Chicago Tribune. I cut out the write up, called them and made my order Everything was sent to me with a hand written note and a little baby toy as a congratulations(I still have Ben's bedding tucked away for my grandchildren some day in the distant future) and Emmy has furniture from them in her room. I supported them when they were a small small business and still support them today because of the hand written note....You are amongst great company....Congrats

love that story Sarah! makes me love them more. Sometimes I think it's easy to forget that companies, we now recognize as big, once started exactly as many of us are starting - working from home with a passion for what we create, and including hand written thank you notes in our packages.

thank you everyone :)

I couldn't agree more - the Land of Nod is great, especially when you're buying something for the little ones.
