A whole new "little lily" batch!

Lately, I have been busy brainstorming and working on expanding my "little lily" accessory line for little girls. This beautiful and sweet little girl came to visit me at my studio wearing the "little lily" goods and she let me snap a few pictures of her. She was absolutely beautiful and such a little natural!

This week, I made a whole bunch of new large and smaller flower hair clips, headbands, and a few new clip designs with square buttons. These little clips just make me happy :) You guys will have to let me know what ya think of the new square hair clips.

how's this for absolutely...FABULOUS????!!!!

My studio partner Barb Blair of Knack Studios never ceases to amaze me with her magnificent design mind. This is one of her newest creations that I can't stop sneaking a few peaks at from "my side" across the room of our shared studio space. This desk is so fabulous...I can't do much more describing with words, so I just posted up all these pictures and let your mind and eyes take it all in!!! When your done drooling, check out Barb's website here!!!

a jolly little assortments!

I was piddling and rearranging some of my things around in the studio, and when I clustered my squiggly planters together it just made me happy! So, I snapped a few shots of them. I have decided to take them home and plant in all of them and let their new home be in my kitchen window sill. I thought I'd share them with you...

some pots...

tumblers

bundt cake pan

large vase

citrus juicer

juice cups

Here are just a few more pots that came from my class in Asheville. I am now busy producing a place setting for my OWN house! I have such a "hodge-podge" of dishes of my dishes in my kitchen and now I have decided to make my own set! I'm excited!

a kindred spirit!

I stumbled onto Amy Allison's website sort of by accident, and I am SO glad I did! She is a talented artist who's two favorite mediums are clay and paper! When I read her story I was so happy to find another girl out there, who like me, just can't help but love both clay and fiber! Amy has some sweet little cups that make me so happy and her pillows are just out this world fabulous! I contacted Amy to thank her for her inspiration and sharing her beautiful artwork and asked her if I could share her work with all of you! It was so nice to find another artist like me! Check out amy's website here and fall in love with and be inspired by her beautiful work, like I did!

my newest goodwill find!

I actually found this dresser at the Salvation Army just up the street from my house last week! I am going to give it a bit of love and put it in my guest bedroom! I was excited to find this piece because it reminded me of the dresser I had in my bedroom as a little girl.

Yes, I totally shoved this dresser in the back of my jeep to get it home...and yes, I laughed the whole way home!!! I had to put up the photo of it all packed in the back of the jeep just to give you guys a giggle or two ;)

I'll be sure to show you guys the final product after I give it a little sprucing up, and when I put it in my guest room.

squiggly wiggly planters!

I created these wavy pots a few weeks ago and they are a product of my firing in Asheville. These planters are for inside or outside of the house. They each have a draining hole in the bottom and are great for titivating any regular house plant or sprucing up the back patio. I use these for my indoor herbs in my kitchen! They put smile on my face every time I pick a few sprigs of my herbs to cook with and they definitely brighten up and add some fun to my kitchen!

may day studios

I found these hand bound books and letter pressed stationary by May Day Studio on etsy! I have a huge soft spot for custom book binding and letter press print!

She creates unique handmade books and letterpress print funky cards and inspired special events invitations and announcements--using recycled and reusable materials whenever possible.

Clay in the Kitchen!!

Here are a few of my pieces I brought down from the firing in Asheville. I am excited to do some more lidded jars and citrus juicers. I set up my pottery in a white hutch that my grandparents just gave me! It's been passed down in the family and now the family heirloom's new home will be my kitchen! I loved how the pottery looked in that classic time piece. Thanks to everyone who came out this past weekend to our First Fridays! If you missed it this past weekend come back out for our next show June 6-7!

art and light!

A talented artist and good friend of mine in the building where I work, Flatiron Studios has just gone live with her website! Teresa Roche is a painter herself, but also curates her gallery, Art and Light. She has everything from oil paintings and collage to eclectic home furnishings and lamps. Teresa has a great eye for mid-century modern design. You have to check out her website that's fresh and live as of this weekend!!!

inspiration!!!

I was browsing one of my favorite blogs, ninainvorm, today and was so inspired by her photos. I have been drawing up some plans to begin creating procelain tiles to install around my fireplaces and backsplashes in my house. These photos she took in Italy TOTALLY inspired me to get moving on the idea of tiles. Thank you nina!!!! words can't really do justice for these photos, so go ahead...be inspired and view them for yourself!
