Beautifully designed and made wooden items. Toys, Ornaments, Furniture and whatever else appeals to my aesthetic sense. Some will be designed by Kay Bojesen カイ ボイスン, Antonio Vitali ヴィターリの玩具 Hans Bolling; others may not have the same pedigree but are equally deserving of recognition.

Antonio Vitali Toy Boat Set
I finally managed to find and purchase a set of Antonio Vitali toy boats. They fit beautifully in my three year old's hand. He loves them as as he sails them across the floor and I love their design aesthetics.

Ebay Vitali Finds
Some lucky person purchased a whole collection of Vitali toys at a great price
$75 got them an aeroplane, boats, and a few wheeled vehicles.
I particularly like the boats . I would have liked to be the keen eyed person who spotted them for $22 but they were already sold.
Maybe next time?

Vitali at a fraction of usual prices
A recent ebay auction saw a large number of Vitali vehicles sell for a fraction of usual prices. [two airoplanes for only $20] These well loved toys oozed character.
With strong interest in Japan, Switzerland, Australia, Argentina, Germany and the UK. I suspect the low prices reflect the sellers reluctance to post outside the US.
