I try not to be a collector of anything, but I do have quite a few ceramics gathered over the years. I just love clay. So I got all excited when my friend Jilly ( Jill Rosenwald Ceramics – I adore her AND her pottery!) told me that Paloma’s Nest was moving to the Shoreline. This family business (husband/wife team and named for their daughter) crafts heirloom quality gifts, mainly in porcelain. As soon as I saw the collection of white bowls with hand-stamped inscriptions, I was smitten. Perfect for ring bearers (I love you), to Valentine’s (I carry your heart) or for no reason at all (you’re the best), their Tiny Text bowls make a lovely and lasting gift. But that’s not all; spend a few minutes perusing their website and you’ll find handcrafted children’s furniture, felt birthday crowns and adorable cake plates inscribed with “you are special today”. This is the stuff family traditions are made of. Take 20% off with code ELIST20 at checkout thru 3/1. palomasnest.com
