#1 ~ We’re delighted to feature b.e., an Etsy shop that features beautiful and unique home decor.

Welcome to b.e. Our style is always changing. We have found that we like to mix the new with the old. We like to mix primitives with fine antiques and everything in between. Our ideal style is contemporary with a touch of the past. We want it to be urban and modern with a little of the country for a kick. Our items reflect our lifestyles and the lives we lead. We live in the present but have a great respect for the past and we think its pretty cool to mix the two together.

Potted Garden

pottedgarden

Just in time for spring we are adding our new collection of potted gardens. Each garden comes in unique vintage pieces and is filled with healthy well-planted flowers, veggies, or herbs.

This pictured potted garden comes in a great vintage tea container. The container comes filled with lavender, chives, and petunia. The winner’s potted garden will be a custom creation in a unique container that may differ from the one pictured here.

This would be great indoor in a kitchen window like shown in the picture or would also look great outside. $28.00 retail value

#2 ~ We’re delighted to feature glazedOver, an Etsy shop that is an eclectic pottery studio specializing in both wheel thrown and slab built wares.

I endeavor to create utilitarian pieces that not only are functional but are also beautiful, unique works of art.

Any piece of pottery should communicate its expected weight even before you pick it up. glazedOver wares will do just that and will only surprise you when they are actually lighter than you expected.

Each piece is unique and personal and as such, variations in structure and glazing are not only expected, they are desirable and add to the charm of the work. I’ve been hand throwing and slab building clay forms for over 15 years. Most of my work is functional and tends toward earthy design vocabulary with an occasional inclination toward the eccentric or anthropomorphic. I am partial to earthtones and warm hues but can also find inspiration in a bold, splashy palette.

All of my work is dishwasher, microwave and oven safe as well as lead-free and food-safe unless otherwise noted.

Herb Marker Garden Stakes
