In the steps of Miss Rumphius...
Some people just have an Eye for Beauty,
and Master Woodworker, David Smalley is one of those people.
Founder of Elves and Angels Inc., David and his wife Susan, have spent the past 32 years designing and creating , the most beautiful, and the highest quality Wooden Toys, available anywhere.
Now offered to you in native Maine White Pine, or solid Maine hardwoods, our products surpass the quality of any furniture you might buy for your home. They are ascetically pleasing, and made to withstand the constant use of a child's play and imagination.
This past winter, the designing team of David and Susan came up with several NEW Products to please your child, and enhance your home.
Introducing...The Cape Arundel Dollhouse, Jason's Castle Bookcase, and Kaylah's Dollhouse Bookcase.

Each one is a work of art, and a great addition to any child's
bedroom or play space.
This summer David Smalley turned 70 years old. He no longer works on production in the workshop, but his Eye for Beauty and Creativity is still very evident in everything he does.
With the current Covid restrictions everywhere, David chooses to stay home on the farm most of the time.
(Except for a quick trip to the beach!)
It is peaceful, and quiet, and beautiful here.
This summer David has spent a lot of time, working at home to make it more beautiful. He calls it "Creating his Resort".
Building his greenhouse, planting and maintaining the garden, building birdhouses, and creating the most lovely way to cover up an ugly above ground swimming pool.
Somehow, his Eye for beauty is everywhere I look.
In June David and I celebrated our 50th anniversary.
Home schooling parents of 12 children, it's been a wonderful life devoted to children, both yours and ours.
We are so thankful for all we have been given, and for You , our devoted customers, who helped make it all possible.

What does an Old Elf do when he semi-retires from his workshop?
He goes outside, and continues to make the world more Beautiful!
Miss Rumphius would be So proud of David Smalley.
He has done all three things she said she would do with her Life.
He has "gone to faraway places."
He spent his Childhood, living by the Sea, and Best of all,
He has spent his entire life making the world "More Beautiful"!!!
Yours...your child's...and Mine!
