mi casa es su casa


LOVE IT!
These are so cute. They measure about 5 inches high and 5 inches wide. You can put a tealight underneath if you like. (we recommend one of those battery operated ones.)
The bold colors are amazing and we love the graphic quality of the designs. Some are inspired by real houses, others are drawn out of the imaginations of Felix and Olga, a husband and wife team from Russia who are both award winning ceramicists.
Each piece is handmade from beginning to end so they are never identical. Felix and Olga believe in the value of the handmade object, that it carries the spirit of the person creating it.

Come on in and see for yourself. The pictures don't do them justice!
Speaking of pictures, they also make these fabulous frames!

Hello Dalai


okay so here's my new favorite item.
It 's called a Buddha bowl.
Great for coffee, hot cocoa, soup, cereal, ice cream, rice, lattes...
It's available in colors like shitake, snowpea and green curry.
At only $20, my prediction is it will be one of our best sellers this season!
What makes it so special is the shape the designer has created.
You cradle it it the palm of your hand with your thumb through the handle.

Come on in a try one out. You'll feel enlightened!
Namaste

Coming soon...baby buddhas and udon noodle bowls!
