We are overly concerned about what goes into our bodies, yet many of us, myself included, sometimes serve beautiful, handmade meals on cheap mass-produced plates. It's a good point. Why not bring that purchasing power to the rest of the table?

Sadie & Emma Pottery Company
Last week, I went to UniqueLA, a craftsperson's boutique that "pops up" every six months or so, allowing craft-minded buyers to vote with our dollars and meet the people making products we love.
My favorite find was from Sadie & Emma Pottery Company, based north of the Valley, in Sunland, California. Their pieces are a once-fire process to cone 6, which is brave for potters (usually ceramics are fired twice, a sure way to achieve strength) and beautiful for buyers. Minimal use of glazes and beautiful clays make for clean, simple kitchen and tableware. I lucked upon these little jugs, modeled after old whisky jugs, and realized I found a blog mascot, reminiscent of the old times, when hand-crafting included not only the contents, but the package.

Hello Lovely - I know this might sound like a funny question, but 'is that a giant wooden peg in the photo?' and if so 'how big is it?' ... I'm looking for some oversized wooden clothes pegs for decoration on my wedding tables.
