For all who covet my coffee mug {which is hardly just a mug, and is a staple on my cash wrap...you know who you are}, these are for YOU. Plates by the same artist! This line of french pottery is now represented by a company that was founded by a European couple who make their home in North Carolina, but still have ties to Old Europe and proclaim that all their products "aim at a clientele which values the origin, and the artistic and heirloom nature of its acquisitions." {Translation: pepperberry's worthy!} Love that!
There are 4 designs, all having just a touch of cobalt blue with a sprinkle of red on a grey/green background and they are sold separately.
Can you see them on your wall? In your hutch? On your end table? Bakers rack? Bookcase? ON YOUR TABLE?! Treat yourself to just one or all four, and enjoy a touch of Europe without leaving the country!What a wonderful gift these would make {"hint" cards available at the cash wrap....just sayin'!}
Now, can you tell what this is? The newspaper they were packed in....from Italy! Today was garbage day and I just couldn't put it on the curb. I'm funny that way. I have it behind the cash wrap where I am now officially pinned in, still somewhat buried in debris and collateral from the Dallas market that I can't bear to part with, and now, not 1, but 2 boxes filled with Italian newspaper pages! I choose to look at it as surrounding myself with fallout* from my passion for "stuff" {my son's word}. I know the plates are far more valuable than the newspaper, but I like having it. It's part of the plates' story, and therefore, my story.*btw, if you don't see me standing behind the cash wrap when you come in, please take a quick peek behind it to see if I am lying in a heap amongst my "fallout". It's gonna kill me someday, I just know it!
Ciao, Au revoir!
Laurie, I understand the feeling with the Italian newspaper. If you decide to toss some, let me know. It's good for art & collage. Good luck with the new expansion project.
