the ultimate indulgence

i have found that drinking my morning cup is a very intimate experience between me and my mug.i really care about what mug i pick out of the cabinet, and the wrong one can really mess with my morning mojo.

that said..we make a gorgeous mug here at the studio. and i understand why some people feel they have to have one..despite the pricey pricetag.

plus! they look so great in these 2 patterns. i have been posting some stuff over on my etsy site the last couple of days..and i have been unabashedly admiring our handiwork. so i thought i would share these pretty pix.

pillow frenzy

tonight's episode is called..pillow tawk cannot stop checking out pillows for the new L.R. first choice has always been the kelly trellis..a big pair as anchors..right?
and then some thomas paul thrown in to go with my turquoise parker chair that will arrive someday.
and then i want texture and romance of foreign lands..
for a taste of the exotic.
so i search the suzani/ikat world, and end up back at trina turk. inevitable cycle.
my awful problem is that i want everything..i am the worst at editing when it comes to decorating! wah..

Boston Home Magazine

i have to say that walking into the studio to find this sitting open in our entryway was quite a major treat! thanks to erin gates of elements of style for recommending us to Boston Home!

a shiny new suzani

ichiko just unloaded a plate from the kiln, and i snapped this photo right off. it is the first stab at a suzani pattern, and though i imagine there will be many more iterations before we perfect the design, i do like this pattern's playful quality, and bold colors.

Spring 2010 continued...

here is the second image from our spring 2010 collection. this one has a strong suzani vibe that has been so hot for the past few seasons. i am loving the navy backgrounds on these pieces..it is a color i have hardly ever used and to me it is so refreshingly bold.
