Looking through Beauchamping’s Etsy shop, his Homestead series reminds me how much of how I miss and love my family, since I am currently away from them for three weeks.
And best of all, each of his work has a story.

We really need to discuss My Milk Toof. It is part story, part blog created by Inhae Renee Lee. You see, the story is, when Renee was young, she placed her baby teeth under her pillow and when she woke up she found a shiny new quarter.
Many years later, a little tooth was standing at her door. Its name was Ickle. Her milk toof had returned, and it brought along a friend named Lardee! Since this homecoming, Inhae has begun documenting their return.
The Gods of Publishing need to give Lardee and Ickle their own book. I wish when I was a kid and had put my baby teeth under my pillow and woke up to a book about the jubilant escapades and adversity tribulations of a pair of milk toofs!
