I just returned from a trip to Baltimore and I snagged a gorgeous carved wood hair fork at the Baltimore Museum of Art gift shop. I looked up the maker as soon as I got home, and she has an Etsy shop full of lovely things from combs and hair sticks/forks to iPad stands!

This is the fork I got at the museum-

I can't vouch for her as a seller because I didn't deal directly with her (although I assume if she's selling work at a museum gift shop, she's pretty legit) but I can vouch for the high quality of her craftsmanship! The fork I purchased is sturdy, beautiful, smooth, and comfortable. It held up in my hair all day while running around and I really love it! Will post some action shots soon.

That is lovely, and I like the look of her combs, pretty! Will be bookmarking. =)

Here are some action shots. I really need to figure out another place to take them, my bathroom lighting is terrible.

Very pretty piece! How odd to find such a thing at a museum shop, I envy you. I never find any hair toys in a shop now.

I saved her store in my favorites on Etsy. I can see one of her hair forks in my future and maybe a comb too! :)
