The Village Hearth: Ceylon Character Magnet Set (Set of 8)

The kitchen is the modern hearth—a place of nourishment, gathering, and daily ritual. We believe this central space deserves not just function, but a soul. "The Village Hearth" is a complete collection of eight hand-painted characters, each a joyful storyteller representing the vibrant spirit and timeless archetypes of Ceylon life.

Invite this entire community into your home. Arrange them on your refrigerator not as mere magnets, but as a tableau of storytellers—a soulful village that gathers at the heart of your home, reminding you of community, heritage, and the simple, joyful connections that enrich our lives.

Intentional Design: Each character is distilled to its charming essence, and together, they form a cohesive and delightful narrative. The intention is not to create clutter, but to introduce a meaningful scene of personality and story to your most-visited daily space.

Tactile Soul: Crafted from solid wood and meticulously hand-painted, each magnet has a smooth, satisfying finish. The slight variations in brushstrokes across the set are a testament to the human touch, imbuing the entire collection with a unique, collective spirit—a tangible connection to the artisans who brought them to life.

Atmospheric Contribution: While much of our collection focuses on serene calm, "The Village Hearth" set contributes something equally vital: joyful community. It is a quiet smile, a conversation starter, a colorful nod to a rich culture. Together, these characters add a layer of warmth, personality, and soulful narrative to the heart of your home.

A Ritual of Connection

Once your collection arrives, engage in this simple ritual. Unpack each character one by one. As you place them on your refrigerator, mindfully arrange them into a small scene. Perhaps the Teacher is speaking with the Elder, or the Weaver is sharing a story with the Fisherman. Change their arrangement weekly. Let this be a small, creative act that connects you to the stories in your home and the community they represent.
