Enchanted Woods & Holiday 2020

I feel so lucky to be getting to share two Memory Block releases within the same week! What an abundance of beauty! I've loved seeing so many people connect with the previous release, Solidarity, and order it for themselves and for loved ones. There's no question that these are very unique times and it fills me with inspiration to see how different artists are paying tribute.

 

We've all been (im)pateintly waiting to see what Sid was inspiration to make for this year's fall and holiday collection, and the day has finally come! I love all of the texture and foliage and detail in these tiles. I love watching artists evolve throughout their careers, and this past year has certainly seen an evolution in Sid's work. The stories behind each collection are below, to get a glimpse of what inspired Sid as he designed these pieces. I love the message behind both and I can't wait to hear which memory blocks speak to you!

These collections are currently available for pre-order (along with Solidarity!) - we're expecting them to arrive toward the end of August. Pre-ordering now guarantees that your order will be included and set aside in our first shipment. If you can't or simply don't pre-order this week, it doesn't mean that you won't get your tile, just that it may be sold out by the time we get our order in, and yours would need to come from our next order. Ordering details are below.

I've also included the batch of memory blocks that were retired on June 30th. We still have most of them in stock for now, but they're moving pretty quickly.

The Sid Dickens Enchanted Woods Collection invites us to cast our gaze upwards and take in the beauty of the heavens. This collection fills our eyes with the wonders of the skies and the rich foliage framing them. 

Grassy hedgerows bow down, laden with plump russet fruits exuding Perfection. Filigree and foliage unite in the Maple Leaf, while garlands of Fragrant flowers show that nature’s beauty cannot be surpassed. Sunset Roses express their love from the earth, as ancient trees flow towards the sky, reminding us of the primordial connection between heaven and earth. A wise owl sits in silence, holding the key to unlock knowledge. Angelic wings carry us through this pastoral scene, offering protection and certitude. Through appreciating the simplicity in nature’s resplendence, we realize what matters. Feeling Blessed is a result of living harmoniously and finding beauty in our surroundings. 

Fresh skies and bountiful vegetation, a visual symphony. Through nature we connect with the divine. To live in symmetry with the earth brings abundant blessings. 

 

 

The Sid Dickens 2020 Holiday Collection ushers in the festive season with classic Yuletide motifs. Crafted with soft pops of colour, these images bring forth memories of simple times and nostalgic traditions. The sight of Father Christmas, who comes bearing handmade toys, brings childlike joy. Every bow on the Christmas tree is bejewelled with delicate glowing ornaments. ‘Tis the time of the year when angels watch in delight at the harmony in the world. This collection captures the innocence and jubilation of the holiday season and inspires us to nurture our inner child.

RETIRING DECEMBER '20
 

The list of December retirements was ALSO announced this morning! Phew, sorry for the information overload. It's always nice to have the heads up though, just in case you've had your eye on any of these ones.

RETIRED JUNE '20
 

Here are the memory blocks that retired this June. A much smaller list than the last few retirements, which is, to me, a little less stressful! Softens the blow a bit, don't you think?
