BATTERIES NOT REQUIRED! Red (Orange or Yellow) Lady Bug Bowling Set. These adorable little lady bugs are brightly hand painted. Their wide eyes seem to know the ball is coming for them! We happened upon our friendly wood sprites bowling with some of the loose items in our shop. I guess after a busy day of mischief , even these wee folk like to take a moment for some …well more fun. We noticed they had collected up some ladybugs to play with as well. So when they weren't looking we hand-painted these wooden pegs to look like lady bugs and freed the real ones. The Sprites happily played with these as they don't try to escape. Now you can attract your own Wood Sprites with these adorable Lady Bugs to bring your home good luck and to keep the real ladybugs safe. Just don't knock on wood or you'll scare the Sprites away! Play anywhere - or keep these cute guys on display to show your whimsical side. Fun to play with - easy to set up again and again anywhere there is a flat surface. Each wooden bowling pin (or skittle) measures approximately 3" and this set comes with a hand-dyed red wooden ball. Items may vary slightly as they are all hand-painted. All are finished with a semi-gloss to protect the paint of the ladybugs from that mean ball. This listing is for one set of 10 Red Ladybug pins and 1 hand dyed wooden ball. Many colors of Ladybugs can be available. Convo to ask about other options or to ask about combo shipping. Small items can be a choking hazard. Not intended for children 3 and under.

The Barefoot Woodworker
Our furniture maker is the Barefoot Woodworker, a professional woodworker with a minor aversion to shoes. He was fortunate enough to have studied under a Master Artisan who was trained in an apprenticeship in the famous Black Forest in Germany. (Black Forest woodworkers and clock makers were renowned for their precision clocks. Cuckoo clocks have been made in the region since the early eighteenth century and much of their development occurred there. Excessive logging and two World Wars have reduced the population of the Black Forest and its renowned woodworkers to a mere fraction of what once was, making their distinguished skills both scarce and valuable.) Barefoot's education by this truly gifted Artisan has lead to a passion for the superior, and almost forgotten, construction methods of the past. He possesses an affinity for hand tools and traditional joinery that most others in this field no longer know about, let alone use. He has also developed a love and comprehensive knowledge of hidden catches and secret compartments. In an industry bombarded with new machinery designed for shortcuts, he is pursuing the Master Woodworker level via traditional methods.
