While on an errand last week I finally stumbled upon elsa + sam, a fabulous dishware boutique on SE Hawthorne. I’ve always intended to check it out, but was afraid of my willpower…you see, I’m such a dishware lover that I’ve been cut off from bringing home any more dishes! Imagine my delight at discovering the Neighborhood series by Dovetail Shop & Studio, a duo of ceramic artists in Colorado. (I may have to sneak a purchase of that mug – maybe I could just use it in the office.)   I just love the hand drawn buildings and the contrast of the black on shiny white. Anyway, while I may not be allowed to stock my cupboards with all of the fantastic creations at elsa + sam, I will most certainly keep them in mind the next time I’m shopping for a gift!

So since we have a new baby, we’ve decided to skip this year’s Street of Eames tour. If any of you go, would you please give us a recap? I’m a bit sad to miss out on all the loveliness…but there’s always next year, right?

Look at the beauty of this handmade ceramic birdhouse! I love that it’s in the shape of a mushroom, but is sleek and modern. Imagine it dangling next to your favorite outdoor sitting spot. Pretty little birdies would fly over and perch on the stick while you sip your mint julep and contemplate the world.

Mudpuppy also creates stunning housewares and tiny things for terrariums. Be sure to visit their etsy shop to see all the goodness!
