Our company is located in Seattle, Washington. Our little bookshop, filled with books by Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf School Movement, is overflowing with these lovely toys from the Republic of Georgia.
I have a personal connection to the Seattle Waldorf School as its founder (1980) along with Ronald F. Moss (1921-1996) who founded the Dr. Rudolf Steiner Bookstore in 1976. Also, as the founder of The Willow Branch Puppet Theater and
the Pacific Northwest School of Puppetry, I am very connected to beauty, quality, and creative imagination, and thus wish only to offer these qualities to you.
The toys were discovered in a little toy shop in the Republic of Georgia by a dear friend Monica Gold. Monica visits Georgia and Russia every year taking her non-profit Isis Cultural International Society group with her, a group interested
in helping those who are asking to establish Waldorf Education in there country, when, lo and behold, she discovered that the toys were being made nearby by a group of people connected with the Waldorf School movement in the area.
This discovery took place in July 2001 and at the end of October of that year we sent for our first shipment of
toys. When everyone saw these toys they could not say enough about them, ex: “They are more beautiful than all the
other toys I am familiar with, and these artists have been able to capture the inner soul quality of the animals.” We have excellent responses from toy collectors all over America.
So enter in, become a little child, lose yourself in the creative world of play and come back regularly as there
are always new creatures appearing.
