hiding in houston.

are you going to NCECA this year ? or do you live in houston ? if you answered yes to either of these questions, you’ll want to know about this fun game we’re playing. 36 artists will each have a pot hidden in the streets of houston. you FIND it, you KEEP it ! to find the clues, you must go here to instagram and “follow” the 36 artists that the page is following for THE CLUES !

this is my pot that will be hidden.

FINDERS KEEPERS !

it’s golden.

i love when my friends drop by the studio. i also love when my fabulous food stylist/chef friends drop by bearing edible gifts ! erin made this most amazing caramel corn (i think her secret weapon was honey). what better way to spend a grey rainy afternoon in the studio then by eating caramel corn + drinking bourbon ?

good cut.

i love cutting boards and can’t seem to get enough of them. they are literally starting to take over my counter top. i also love re-purposing things. i broke the top to wilma’s treat jar . . . so now it is a utensil holder.

GOOD DOG.

it’s tea time.

i usually drink my tea out of a mason jar or a pint glass (i like a LOT of tea). but sometimes it’s nice to be somewhat civilized and to drink out of a proper teacup. i made a few of them to try them out for size. you can see them here and here.

the red hot chili peppers.

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 !

salt of the earth.

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.
