this is part of a larger painting on clay.

i made this linen curtain to hang at my front door when i’m not feeling social but want the light and air. i can see YOU, but you can’t see ME . . . and i still get a nice breeze and beautiful natural light. i didn’t realize when i made this curtain that it would be so dense from the outside looking in, but the fabric is completely solid from the outside. i honestly didn’t think i could love linen any more than i already did . . . but I DO !
guess who else will be marching . . . back to the south of france ? . . . MOI ! i am so excited i can barely stand it. i will be doing the residency again this coming may-june. this is the place that truly inspires me to the core. the food, the people, the light, the mediterranean sea, the colours, the life style, the landscape, the language, . . . i wish everyone could find the place that truly resonates with them. there is nothing better to really feed your soul.
if you are like me, you like freshly ground black pepper straight from the grinder. in our household, we use our pepper cellar for red chili flakes because we use those with reckless abandon. it dawned on me that maybe you hadn’t thought of this ? it seems that a lot of people are buying just a SALT cellar and not a PEPPER cellar. but now you have a good reason to . . . come on, spice it up !
there are a lot of porcelain leaves in the store today.
i designed a new salt cellar and this one has a “spoon.” most people prefer to “pinch” their salt (i’m one of them), but there are some people who are squeamish about having a lot of fingers in the salt and, well, it is more ladylike to use a spoon. so now you have options. and you can still go old school by ditching the spoon !
get one here.
there were rusty staples in my studio door that had probably been there for 40 years. i had been meaning to pull them out since the day i moved in, but i never had the right tool handy. well, today was the day. i surgically removed each one with an official staple remover. it was the most satisfying thing i did all day.
i’m feeling incredibly grateful lately, and it’s spilling over onto you . . . enter a FREE GIVEAWAY to win one of my pourers.

the sun was shining directly on this collection of oddities and it totally caught my eye . . .
1. a silver wishbone given to me by a good friend.
2. the remains of RUSTY (my last kiln that i just said goodbye to).
3. the perfect pod that i have had with me for so many years.
for some reason, i seem to be having subliminal spring on the brain. or perhaps it’s just stemming from all of the newness and growth in my world these days. whatever the reason, i have some new springish work in the shop. and, spring will be here any minute . . .
the NEW YORK GIFT SHOW starts this weekend . . . these are just a few of my new products for spring.
