THE ENCHANTED CUPBOARD•.,¸¸,:•:*¨¨*:•
You enter a quaint gift shop at
the street corner. You see the gypsy-like shopkeeper, and she smiles at
you as you walk further into the room. You feel like you have just
entered into a place timeless, magical, yet familiar all at the same
time. The woman raises her finger to her lips as if to silence you. Then
she looks around the room and points to the back of the store. You see a
large old enchanted cupboard with a vast amount of drawers and doors;
you walk to it as sweet, whispered words fill your ears,
"Inside you will find your heart's desire!"

The
Enchanted Cupboard is a small Woman-owned business started by Beccijo
Neff for the purpose of creating handmade toys and educational items
with an exceptional level of handcrafted/hand painted detail that would
spark the imagination of kids while impressing their parents with the
heirloom quality artwork and manufacturing.
What started out as a
hobby to add enchantment to her children's playtime soon grew to be a
thriving home based business. Our goal is that one day Wade can quit
his day job as graphic designer and work full time on the family
business.
- All natural materials are used that avoid any of the
lead-based or other toxic materials that you often risk when purchasing
mass produced items which frequently come from less regulated overseas
suppliers.
- Some of our wooden supplies, like blank wooden peg dolls, come from American companies or other USA wood works.
-
Materials can be customized to look like you or your child or can be
hand-painted to adhere to one of multiple pre-existing toy lines offered
by the company, including Scaliwag Cove, The Fairy Ring and more.
-
All items are hand-painted by an award winning artist with an exquisite
level of detail and many are Waldorf and Montessori inspired.
- We
are a family run business with part-time help from interns and family
members. Our children love helping in areas that they can sorting,
inventory, sanding, packaging, etc.
- All items are Made in the USA..
