Botanical Bowls
 These wide lipped bowls, by Shannon Garson, detail a single leaf like a botanist's sketch book; within, the fine porcelain is washed with a glowing pastel hue.

MoonBeans

MoonBeans fall from the moon on bright nights.  They are seeds from the Gaint Cassia Tree that grows on the moon.  They are particularly lucky for travellers.

Novas Infinite!
 Novas Infinite are from another dimension.  Their name means "Beings of Infinite Light".  They came to our dimension in the mid 1990s and have been popping in ever since.  Interestingly, they feed on electromagnetic radiation and so love to sit near TVs and computers.
