(into the soil)


The “Retired Cat Lady” Garden Marker comes from a small-business brand North to South Designs, which hand-crafts its home and decor items out of Texas. No mass-production, just fun and quirky things from its creative and independent owner, Magen. Discover home, arts & crafts, and decor items all using wood from a quality, independent brand.

I’m Magen, and I make things with love and laser beams!
North to South Designs began as a wood crafting hobby 7 years ago in Vancouver, Canada. Initially it was a pastime that married my love of working with wood, and my need for a creative outlet – a space where I could share my love of design and of all things nerdy!
Since then it’s become a full time job, crammed into our ex-dining room, now LASER room, and managed alongside 3 little ones and a husband (all of whom make my life wonderful and crazy)!
I love making products that make people laugh and help them tell the world who they are – even if it’s just with a bookmark or a wooden spoon!
