This beautiful duo was commissioned for a very special lady who has always been a support from when I was a receptionist at a hair salon to my first kiddo to now owning my business and making this art. She and her daughter go on a special trip every year and last year she brought a care brite mug this time it’s these lovely pink ladies.

I hope she knows how much I appreciate her support and kindness over the years. 💕

Getting my last bunch of bowls thrown for Brazos Valley Empty Bowls . I wish I were bringing more, but I know each one will make an impact- on a person or a family; an impact on a life thanks to the food bank. I am grateful for this gift to make a bowl that can hold a meal. Something that brings us together in joy but most simply in life. I hope you’ll join me on Sunday Nov 1 at Blackwater Draw Brewing Co. at 12:30 benefitting Brazos Valley Food Bank 🥣🥣🥣💕

That feeling when a customer finds just what they were needing in their life in my booth. 🤩🤩🤩

Shout out to a vintage video of my little guy and an old market. 🥰

This blue beauty is going to its forever home today and I wish I had made more of her! What do you think make more? Blue or make it pink? ✨

I just love these little guys! 😍 They will be the surprise you get when you purchase a spin from my vending machine. The vending machine will make its debut at KinderHill Brew Lab at the grown up book fair on Nov 7.

Until then I’ll be making more because they’re the best and I love the whimsy they are bringing to my life these days. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Letting this beauty dry slowly before her first firing. The flowers are SO delicate right now, so I’m taking extra care so they don’t crack or break. This will be a more rustic spin from my typical Anita bowls, but just as lovely. She will be with me at the garden in the Silos for Austin Avenue Art Fair in November as well as some at Jingle Bell Market .

This has been a full chapter of life and I’ve had to scale back some markets, but I’ve still been busy making in the background. Check out my website for upcoming shows, markets and events.

When I was little my abuelita sent me teeny little ceramic pots for me to play with from Mexico. They came on a little plate with teensy cups and plates and pitchers. I got back late Tuesday from the funeral for my aunt, and Mexico and my family are on my mind. Last night I decided to make some teensy vessels and I LOVE THEM.
I got a fun new thing I’ll be bringing to markets moving forward, and I think they will be some of the prizes. Swipe to see the fun new thing. Also salt shaker in the second photo for scale.

Swipe to see where it started before being fired and glazed.

Isn’t this glaze just lovely??? 🥰 These bowls were commissioned for an upcoming silent auction, and they turned out so beautifully.

Thank you Jordan for thinking of me! I hope it helps to raise lots of funds for the American Heart Association.
