happy new year (and a SALE!)

we hope you all enjoyed a lovely holiday and that you are spending this chilly boxing day cozy at home, in your pjs!  2008 is swiftly coming to a close and we are feeling very optimistic about the new year.  amy's new line for 2009 has us pretty excited about the all the gift shows beginning in just a few weeks... i think the fresh shapes and sweet designs will please everyone who sees them.  they are truly irresistible :)

until you are able find them on a shelf in your favorite shop or online store, you may want to check out our new SALE section in the etsy shop.  we think you will like the good deals on these handmade items you might want to stash for next year's holidays (or keep for yourself!).  we will also be updating the etsy shop with plenty of new charms, linen aprons, table runners, pillows and porcelain cups in january so be sure to visit often... amy's one of a kind pieces are selling fast!

thank you so much for supporting our little handmade workshop all thru 2008 and best wishes to you all for a peaceful happy healthy new year!

shop updates



we are all working from home today, watching the predicted five inches of snow and sleet pile up outside our windows.  yesterday we priced and packed five big boxes of beautiful handmade porcelain and paper items for the bucktown holiday art show this weekend. there will be new porcelain holiday cups, ornaments, gift tags, paper goods and versatile porcelain tray sets.  if you are in chicago, please stop by to say hello!  

between production and packing we have been updating the etsy shop with some beautiful one of a kind pieces fresh from amy's studio.  you will find an abundance of unique handmade holiday gift ideas for under $20.  seriously, this is good stuff :)  in these times, it is so good to make your shopping dollars stretch while giving lovely handmade gifts to those you love.

happy shopping!
