simply ceramics

Lesley Taylor |

On a recent visit to o-town, I decided to pop in to Swarm Gallery. For some reason I had made it on to their email list, and I was intrigued. But opening the wrong door, I found myself in the ProArts store next door.

And then I saw him; the simplest, most adorable bird in the guise of a vase. I wanted to take him home, and knew exactly where I would put him; right on the mantle. A little pop of white against my wasabi green walls….perfect.

Then I decided that if I bought everything that I “simply must have”, I’d have to move into a couple of public storage pods….and be more than broke. So I thought, I would write about him….my bird….and just happened to find some other “must have” things to write about.

Clockwise (top left):
; Bird vase, $45 – $80, J. Mendicino
; White tile, Heath Ceramics
; Sula Votive, $35, Tonfisk, available online via Tivoli Home
; Sweet Peas Vases, $38/pair, Kim Westad Ceramics
