This Mother's Day, swap angst for Zen! Pick up one of our Ikebana containers complete with flowers, ready to present to Mom. Ikebana is a Japanese style of floral design which emphasizes minimalism & natural form, allowing you to create a stunning display with just a few stems. Ikebana containers come in a wide variety of styles & sizes, & include a pin frog or integral tubes to secure the stems. Prices will vary depending on the container chosen, along with a small fee for the flowers. Impressive presentation! |

With its fluid lines & rich colors, Hilborn Pottery makes a perfect wedding gift. The line includes a range of practical serving pieces, from dip sets to berry bowls, most paired with a wooden serving piece. All pieces are microwave, oven & dishwasher safe, so they're functional for daily use. The unusual forms are the result of a slab building technique: clay is rolled flat then shaped by hand into vessels with folded & undulating sides for an organic look.
In periwinkle (shown), turquoise, ebony & apple green. |

Decorative ceramic switchplate & outlet covers add a custom designer touch to any room. Even having just one in a prominent area will set the tone & provide a durable, easily cleaned plate cover for a high-use spot.
Soon we'll have a new display featuring many styles from
All Fired Up!, a small Canadian company that makes them by hand. We will show the most versatile wide-opening style (sometimes referred to as decora) which can accomodate both rocker switches & outlets. Many other configurations & dozens of other designs are available by special order during the month of May. |
