La Dolce Vita Estate is home to our dog and three polydactyl rescue cats (just like Ernest Hemingway and sailors of the Seven Seas have always loved for their mousing ways & good luck) with the occasional visiting goats for weed control! We take our furry friends pretty seriously here and like them to be happy so we have a patch of cat nip from which we produce our bestselling toys as well as some other pet-centric creations. Your pets are sure to love the Paw Balm, toys and treats.

Live Well. Look Good.

Black Walnut Ink

$10

Black walnut trees are fascinating and so versatile! We make our own ink from the green husks surrounding the nuts of our Juglans nigra trees. Dip the quill of a feather, calligraphy pen or paintbrush into the black walnut ink, wipe off any excess, and let your imagination run wild! Remember that black walnut ink can stain, so take care not to spill it, and place newspaper on all surfaces before starting this project. 1 ounce

Black Cat Candles

$6

This beautifully scented soy is hand-poured into a reclaimed container after our polydactyl kitties have enjoyed its contents (hence the name). The Black Cat Candle emanates the tranquil essence of Palo Santo, a sacred wood renowned for its cleansing and grounding properties, kissed with a bit of citrus essential oil. It will lend the cozy ambiance of flickering candlelight & a wonderful scent to your evening.

Casanova Soy Candle

$15

The Casanova Candle is hand-poured soy delicately scented with Tobacco and Vanilla. It is kissed with a bit of organic  lavender essential oil. Named for the Italian who made Cuban cigars famous, not to be confused with Giacomo Casanova's escapades!

Heavenly Hummus
