Took care of these two repeat customer cuties for 3 1/2 weeks before we left on our 30 day vacation, and just finished four more days with them upon our return. One is a young happy beauty and the little old man in the cone is such an adorable trooper! I love all dogs but these older pups really steal my heart! 😊❤️

After a summer full of pet sitting and then a long road trip to the PNW and back (with new sparkling holiday glass!), now working daily on holiday gifts and ornaments! These iridescent art bowls make unique statement pieces for your home decor.

Is it obvious I especially like to work with all the various shades of blue Bullseye glass - especially the iridescents? 💙

One of my pup clients from this past week. This sweet boy is more than just a pretty face! 😁❤️🐶

Very simple, but it turned out to be one of my favorites. And the colors look different in every light and every angle. Just letting two different sheets of gorgeous glass do the talking.

Hey folks - In our quest at PAWS for Art to help support small independent bookstores through our pocket heart sales at their stores, The Book Burrow in Pflugerville is a lovely little store with a great owner and they also carry our pocket hug hearts. So if you are in Pflugerville area, drop in and visit them, pick up a book (or three!) - and maybe grab one of our PAWS for Art pocket hug hearts for a small “thinking of you” gift for a friend or loved one! 😊

Thank you to The Secret Lantern Books and Games in Cedar Park for taking a stand to protect books and local art by real human beings! Look for PAWS for Art glass pocket hearts, ornaments and as of yesterday, a few lightweight Pride earrings for Pride Month! Please support this wonderful local indie bookstore and fun gathering place!

We believe bookstores should champion human creativity, not replace it.

From the beginning, The Secret Lantern Books & Games has had a simple policy: we do not stock AI-generated books or AI-generated art.

In light of recent statements from major corporations openly embracing AI-generated books and creative work, we feel it’s important to publicly say where we stand. We’re also joining bookstores across the country in taking a stance in support of human creators.

Our shelves are for human-made art.

That means: • No AI-written books
• No AI-generated covers or artwork
• No AI-generated comics or graphic novels
• No AI-generated marketing materials submitted by vendors
• No AI-generated content used in place of human creators

Stories matter because people make them. Writers, artists, designers, narrators, and other creatives deserve to have their work valued and supported.

We know thousands of books are released every year, and some AI-generated content may occasionally slip through unknowingly. If we discover a title or product that conflicts with our values, we will reevaluate it and remove it from our shelves.

This is not about public shaming. It’s about choosing what kind of creative community we want to support.

We choose people.
