Deep in the old woodland of Elderfern lives Furngully’s little brother, Choomie ....a mere ninety-four years young and quite possibly the jolliest hatter the woodland has ever known.
From his tiny shop beneath the trees, Choomie creates the most wonderfully whimsical hats for gnomes near and far. His creations have travelled from the farthest corners of Elderfern to the woodlands west of Buckthorne and even into the distant river realms beyond.
Choomie is full of joy and rarely works without giggling to himself as he stitches, trims and fusses over his latest creation. Feathers, velvet, tiny woodland flowers and curious little treasures find their way onto his hats, and no two ever leave his shop quite the same.
You will almost always hear Choomie before you see him. Perched upon his head each day is his own rather magnificent hat, finished with a tiny golden bell that chimes, chimes, chimes as he works and shuffles along the woodland paths.
The sound has become so familiar throughout Elderfern that whenever a little golden chime can be heard amongst the trees, everyone smiles and says...
“Here comes Choomie.”
Choomie would be delighted to find a little place in your holiday home, hanging from the Christmas tree, tucked amongst a garland or nestled into a favourite holiday wreath.
Handcrafted in our British Columbia studio, Choomie is nestled within a genuine Pacific oyster shell, finished by hand with our signature gilded edge and suspended from a rich gold ribbon. Naturally irregular in shape, no two shells are ever quite alike, making each Choomie a one-of-a-kind little heirloom to be treasured for Christmases to come.
