    A well-designed, hand-crafted sturdy shortbread pan, from clay? Made in the states?? How cool is that?!

    I love the Iris African Violet pot! My mom grew African Violets on our windowsill when I was a girl (seemingly without effort) and this reminds me of her. I love the fact that the pot has inner and outer pieces for beauty and functionality!
    And I love, love, love the handpainted irises--they are lovely!
    Thank you for another place to get fabulous, American made products!

    "Going Green" base color is my favorite style of pottery. Put a dragonfly on it and it would be perfect...would that mean it's not green anymore? :) - although now I have to go back and see the african violet pot someone mentioned! The Iris designs were next favorite I think...
