The bad news: It will be the last batch for a while. Dovetail is taking a break and focusing on life outside the studio (for now).

With that in mind, the store is full of the popular octopus, bicycle and neighborhood dishes. They are going fast and sadly, this will be the last of them.

We have very much enjoyed working with Dovetail and wish them the best of luck in their new adventure!
