Hi. My name is Laura, and I love:

animals
miniatures
quirky traits
silly humor
& fun gifts.

I tell people all the time that I wish I could have a zoo, or better yet, a zoo of miniaturized animals. Wouldn't that be the cutest? So I created the closest thing possible: le animalé, a place with mini animals full of cute & humorous antics ready to brighten your day. : )
