NEW Vendor Highlight: Penguin & Fish

Penguin & Fish is the delightful world of Minneapolis based illustrator and product designer Alyssa Thomas. Through Penguin & Fish Alyssa creates handmade, quirky, plush toys and embroidery patterns. Her little plush Kitties, Unicorns and Horses are uniquely designed so that you can see all four legs at once, reflecting her illustration style. Alyssa is passionate about creating things for children and is constantly making some sort of new toy or art project. She is proud to recently have finished illustrating her first children’s book, No Monster Here, now available at http://nomonsterhere.com. When Alyssa was a kid she would make everything from beaded bracelets to large papier mache masks, all to be bartered for at her “trading post” outside her bedroom door. Today Alyssa happily continues to make and sell her wares through Penguin & Fish. Recently Penguin & Fish was featured in Do It Yourself Magazine and Canadian Family Magazine.
