suddenly, it's real!

Ben Floeter & Natalie Wright of "Suddenly, It's Real!" might have won the best designer bio pic so far! well done sir...check out their blog, www.suddenlyitsreal.typepad.com
a little about them:
Ben Floeter & Natalie Wright of "Suddenly, It's Real!" live in a tiny tree house in a tiny forest in the mid-west. When they aren't busy crafting their goods in the studio, they can be found in the kitchen cooking up treats, riding their bikes in the country, writing stories, thrifting, or drawing up plans for a bigger, better tree house! Ben is the woodworker and he uses only recycled or sustainably harvested woods. The YoYo's actually grow in the tiny forest where they live!

the yoyo:

Each YoYo is one-of-kind and has its own unique character. They are made with various sustainably harvested woods from our own tiny forest! The wood is carefully selected, hand cut, meticulously sanded and finished with natural shellac, then assembled with the utmost care. The strings are 100% cotton, professional Yo Yo strings! Each YoYo measure approximately 2" diameter.

Before leaving the shop, they must pass rigorous testing by Ben himself, to insure that you will receive a quality product that works like a charm! Varied woods.
