LOVE
STORY:
A wee
love story about a family and a backyard cottage
industry…
Over a decade ago a handsome British boy and an
Ohio lass met and fell madly in love at first site in a
sleepy university town. The boy was a classically trained
master carpenter and the girl a writer with a bit of
wanderlust. They worked together creatively through the
years on many projects involving woodworking as they
restored and remodeled homes together. The boy taught his
love about trees on their land in the country and how to
use power tools and the girl read poems to him while they
worked. They started a journey of following their bliss and
eventually brought two wee ones into the world and began
creating wooden toys for them. They decided to share these
wee wooden toys with the world and Little Alouette, LLC was
born over hot steaming mugs of cocoa in the winter of
2007. Our toys are
made of locally sourced hardwoods and, if not left
unfinished, are finished only with certified organic flax
seed oil.
Each product is made by hand and usually all the wood is
surrounded by cups of tea, laughing children, and disco
music, so each product will come to you infused with love
and bliss!
