Is There Anyone Out There?



Lets us listen to this while we read...

Just a quick note to let you know that I opened a store about 6 months ago and don't have time to blog here anymore. I thought I could juggle both projects, but there is just not enough time in the day and really at the end of the day, the aesthetic and vision of Pygmy Hippo is where I'm at.

Together with the help of my right hand man, we built every inch of the shop from the ground up in just over 3 months. We wanted it to have the look and feel of a store you'd find in Disneyland, and we based the stores color scheme around our favorite wallpaper from Grow House Grow.

The idea behind Pygmy Hippo is simple: offer unique vintage and handmade goods, mostly from local artists and designers, at affordable prices, in the tiniest space EVER. If you're not in the neighborhood, you can take a look at our on-line shop here. We rotate the small selection of goods out on-line every month or so, but ideally, we'd love for you to come see the space in person.



I still work on Cloven Hoof when I have the time, and I sell the piece exclusively at the shop, so if there is anything you're looking for, drop us a line.

Bioephemera


The lovely Jessica Palmer of Bioephemera recently gave Cloven Hoof a little mention in one of her final blog posts.


Incidentally, the Cleopatra necklace Jessica mentions is on sale right now on Catbird's website. You can take a peek at it here.

Sadly, Jessica is going on an indefinite hiatus, but you can (and should!) go though the archives and look through all of her old posts. Bioephemera has been one of my favorite blogs for the last three years and I hope she comes back soon.

Summer Rayne Oakes Interview on StyleCaster



After graduating from Cornell with a degree in entomology and environmental sciences, Summer Rayne Oakes decided to become a model. And an author. And a designer. And a magazine editor. 
She's basically Wonder Woman.

Oh and she's also a fan of Cloven Hoof.

catbird NYC!


catbird's new site went live this morning and it's beautiful!





When you are in Brooklyn, you have to stop in and see the store for your self. Walking through the front doors, you feel like you've stepped back in time into a fancy lady's wardrobe! 
The owner, Rony, has selected the perfect mix of jewelry, accessories, home decor, cards and trinkets, all mostly made by local designers with a few outsiders (like me!) mixed in.

I highly recommend going to Catbird when Leigh is working. Don't get me wrong, all of the ladies at Catbird are super sweet and lovely, but Leigh has that extra special something, and that something is called Teepee.  

(a rare glimpse of Teepee in her natural habitat)
 
I've been a big fan of Catbird since my first visit to Brooklyn in 2007 and I'm really thrilled to have the line available at the shop. It's a perfect match and I'm happy to know that Cloven Hoof is in good company amongst the other fantastic designers at Catbird.



219 Bedford Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11211

open everyday from noon to eight
