Our First 5 Prong Hair Fork is Born

After much debate, and cutting, sawing, sanding and finishing the new baby has arrived! Our Studio's very first 5 tine Hair Fork! This first model is made of walnut wood and we placed a decorative and functional piece of Holly in the top. THe Holly serves as a reinforcement and of course, it's beautiful wood! This shape is the PCT (princess crown tulip) and will be available in our studio starting next week! My hair is not nearly long enough yet for this fork, but i know alot of you ladies have a bun that has a 5 inch diameter and this will be just the fork for you! it is comfortable as it is curved to fit the head. The tines have a slight curve to them to give a firm hold. And, of course, they are finished smooth and have a beautiful sheen.

We are also debuting our new line of shawl pins, or Hair Rings, and here is a picture of the perfect one to come out at the beginning of February

These are made from laminations tha Stacy sliced and glued, then cut and routed and made matching pins. We sand these just as extensively as our hair forks and they are finished the same way as well. THese are so much fun! we have a leaf, hummingbird,wing,ONE,and a double love birds!

Our sale to celebrate the debut of these new designs goes until the 29th so be sure to coem over and grab your favorite hair fork or ring that you have been drooling over before they are all gone!

Sweetheart of a sale starts at midnight!

Well, we have been slaving away on our new shawl pin line and ...WHEWWW..they are here and we are so in love with them! They really turned out great..we have leaves,rings, flames, wings, antlers, One, and coming..hearts!

A tiny spoon of what's to come.

Did you ever get a tiny spoon at the ice cream shop of any flavor you wanted? well, here's a tiny spoon of Grah-Toe Studio...
We are currently in the process of designing a new hair fork...with 5 Prongs! Now, we have had many requests for this and we have been pondering and working on it so we want to temp you with a little spoon so that you will keep watching for it!
ANd we are starting a line of shawl pins as well, as i have become fascinated with shawls lately and notice that a lot of women wear then regularly. It fits in well with the production of hair forks and we are having a blast making all this new stuff! We would love to have any suggestions, ideas, or just stop in and say hello to us! And of course, we encourage custom orders anytime and give them our best attention. Hope to hear from you soon!
Love to you,Kimi

I found a wonderful friend,..and scarf..

Over the month of December, we traveled to do an arts/craft show in Ohio. Well, the show is another story for another time, BUT we met and became friends with a wonderfully ingenious and lovley lady,Jen Schwietz. She has designed a new scarf, called ScarfeDiem and i want to share this with you all because I LOVE IT.
The scarf itsself is cozy fleece, and it is long enough to warp around several different ways, but, the really cool part is that she has designed a way to have removeable,interchangeable and mixable beads on the end of your scarf! You can have several colors or types of beads, and because they are changeable the eternal and necessary accessory of scarf can become exciting again!
It comes in 4 colors, cream,brown,black and grey, comes with a set of starter beads and then you can mix and match all sorts of combinations from there! You can match your purse and shoes for date night, then have a simple everyday design, and a weekend fun change! And this scarf is not only classy and beautiful, but it is WARM! Well, if you can't tell, I am in love with mine and i hope to hear stories from some more of you about what you think..she has a facebook fan page too and i am sure she would appreciate that!
