leaves of clay ceramics

Beautiful functional and sculptural stoneware with great organic style from the talented hands of North Carolina potter and Etsy seller Michele Humphrey for her leavesofclay shop. Each piece is imprinted with different leaf species from the trees nearby.

I am pretty sure I need to touch these right away.

See more at Michele’s Etsy shop and the Leaves of Clay website.

fred and friends stacked coffee cup

ever have one of those days when you need three cups of coffee? even if you’re limiting your caffeine intake, you could still get it done with one cup instead in this fun porcelain coffee cup from rhode island’s fred and friends.

i love it when the coffee cups in my cabinets are more clever in the morning than i am!

purchase this and other fun things on fred’s website.

my cuppa cup

i have a friend that says she likes her coffee the color of cardboard, and another who likes it the color of cafe au lait. my husband likes his with light cream, and personally i like a tawny cup, not too white.

huh?

better to explain it with this cup from sam and jude, aka the clever fellows at suck uk.

use this clever mug in the mornings and save your words for later on in the day when you’re more awake.

$25 at generate (regrettably, teacup is sold out at the moment).
