Officially moved Sacramento Store!

Submitted by terri on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 12:09

Well it is official I finally completed the move to 1126 18th Street in Sacramento, CA! February was consumed with moving, NY Toy Fair and SF Gift Show and I am ready to get back to working on the site. The opening show for the Sacramento location is Rebecca Casey which I will start to add pieces every day. Her wonderful whimsical ceramics and assemblage of toys are so fun and creative. I found lots of fun new items in NY and will start to add as well.
Look forward to some new as well as new old!

NY Toy Fair

Submitted by terri on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 21:42

2012 has started off to a wild pace with moving the Sacramento gallery to a street level location, events galore, and it is now time for NY Toy Fair so I'm on my way for a few days looking for new and exciting toys. I will add to this post as the trip unfolds!

Weather was great! Toy Fair seemed a bit low key with no real buzz.

Happy New Years! Everyone wants to know the big plan for 2012 but I have yet to figure that out! NY Toyfair is in February and SF Gift Show is shortly after so will attend both to look for new. In the process of setting show schedule for 2012 and looking for new artists that create their art with or as toys… know anyone send them to the site?!

Some favorites such as robots will continue and looking to add more from the puzzle world. ..Stay tuned!

Jessica Hudson is a young incredible visionary new ceramic artist that is showing her first solo show at Art Of Toys this month. All of Jessica’s pieces have thought provoking messages behind the concept of the artwork. Look at “Am I Pretty Now” which is making a statement on trying to grow up before you are ready to. “The Barbie body is a representation of the want for adult things, but the baby doll head and the toy blocks are a way of saying that you are still stuck in a childlike mindset.
