Purple Pottery

I love these two pieces of purple pottery I bought at the Portsmouth Candle Company a few weeks ago. The Portsmouth Candle Company is one of my favorite stores in Portsmouth, NH. It's a great place to shop for cool night lights, ornaments, tchotchkes, candle holders, incense, and of course, candles. They have a great selection of beeswax candles which are my favorites! I had my eye on this purple pottery for a few years and I'm so happy I actually bought some pieces. I think it's super cool and and I love that it's purple which is my favorite color! I'm sad to say I lost the tags so I can't tell you who the artist is. :( When I find the name I'll add it to this post.
I love this star and moon candle holder. It reminds me of a jack-o-lantern when it's lit. :) I also love this toothbrush holder:
It's decorated with stars, swirls, and stick people. It makes me happy every time I brush my teeth. If anyone is looking for a gift to buy me I'd be happy to have more pieces! (hint! hint!) :)

Wizard of Clay

The Wizard of Clay is a potter near my grandparent's house in the Finger Lakes in New York. Their most popular pottery has a beautiful leaf pattern. I think they make the pattern using real leaves. As you might have noticed, I love things with trees and leaves. The only piece I have is this lovely planter:

My String of Pearls is very happy in it. Here is another, more detailed, view:

It's fun to visit other family members and see Wizard of Clay pottery in their houses. Mom and I gave Sarah a beautiful lamp and planter for her wedding shower. My grandparents have lots of cool pieces in their house. Can you see the pretty hanging lamp my Aunt Susie has in Maine?
I just noticed a Wizard of Clay bowl right in front! Cool Susie! :)

Beautiful Gifts from Salmon Falls

Mom and Sarah gave me these pretty pieces of pottery for my kitchen. They are all from Salmon Falls in New Hampshire. Mom gave me the utensil holder for Christmas two years ago and the spoon rest for Christmas last year. Sarah gave me the butter dish at her wedding this summer. I love them and the pattern is perfect for my red kitchen!
I love having gifts that remind me of people I love. :)
