The Magic Zoo Review: How Do You Show The World That You Love Your Pets?

6/26/2014

Typist: Bethany
If I am not with one or more of my pets, I am talking about them or at the very least thinking about them. Such is the blessing and the curse of the bond I have always had with animals. When I was recently introduced to The Magic Zoo, I was pleased to find a new whimsical way to express my obsession with my pets through lovingly handcrafted jewelry, everywhere and anywhere I go. It turns out that Merry Rosenfield, the artist behind the creative artwork at The Magic Zoo, is like me and has been fascinated by animals her whole life. Merry turned that passion into jewelry making over 25 years ago and now sells her wearable art at The Magic Zoo.

With so many fun animal finds at The Magic Zoo, it was hard to decide on which of Merry's stylish, handcrafted art I wanted. I searched through the website by metal type, jewelry type and animal type. As I scanned the large selection, I couldn't help but think about what excellent gifts Merry's creations would make for all of my animal loving friends and family. So many of the pieces spoke to me personally as well. Since I am always proud of my place as both a dog and cat person, I chose an adorable pewter Dog and Cat Key Chain. And with Huxley's collie family reunion as the next adventure on the Cascadian Nomads calendar, I was obviously drawn to the Sterling Silver Collie Pendant (chain not included.)

The timing was truly perfect because I was indeed proud to sport my new silver collie pendant from The Magic Zoo at Huxley's family reunion. I have loved rough collies for as long as I can remember but being around so many happy, healthy, working dogs made me beam with even more adoration for the breed. During the reunion, when Huxley went in for his herding evaluation, the evaluator asked me who his dam and sire were then told Huxley "you'll make your parents proud." My smile shined brighter than my silver collie pendant as I watched Huxley do exactly that; he was right at home herding those sheep. All of the good herding instincts Huxley got from his hard working parents definitely shone through.

From The Magic Zoo to my magic zoo, showing pride in my pets with a smile or gorgeous handmade jewelry, is easy. While my pets continue to charm me with their craftiness and cuteness, I hope that Merry continues to craft her cute animal caricatures. Maybe I will add another piece of The Magic Zoo art to my collection before the next crazy animal adventure or event  we Cascadian Nomads embark upon.

That is a wonderful piece of jewellery - hmmmmm we think maybe a charm bracelet would better for you - then you could have a caricatures of each of your babies on it :)

Love, Love seeing Collies doing what they were bred to do!! Tucker's breeder introduced him to sheep the weekend before we got him and buddy did he turn it on!! I wish she had put the video on YouTube so I could share but she just put it on her FB page. He also comes from a long line of working Collies. Love these smart working dogs!!!

It is getting harder and harder to find working collies. (Well, I guess that can be said for a lot of breeds, sadly.) But the working lines are more loyal, smarter and have a better temperament (especially less barking!) so I am glad there are responsible breeders working to preserve those qualities instead of conforming to useless and outdated beauty standards.

The Magic Zoo added a ton of items since when I was first introduced to the site too... there are cockatoos and dragonflies and...!!! Yeah, I am have a jewelry problem too. But that doesn't mean the huge hint to anyone wondering where to buy me a gift should be ignored (read: go to The Magic Zoo and you can't go wrong!)
