::Monday's inspired human::

The mini interview today is with Caroline, the inspired creator of Paloma's Nest. Caroline creates bowls, tiles, ornaments and other decorative pieces out of porcelain, wood, paper and cloth. The simple modern pieces are timeless and intended to be passed on for generations. Paloma's Nest is best known for their Ring Bearer Bowl™ which has been featured in numerous publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Elegant Bride Magazine, Vogue, Elle, the list goes on and on.... Her work and packaging is environmentally cautious, and her approach to creativity is truly inspiring.

One of Caroline's pieces was my first favorite on Etsy, so I thought she would be the perfect person to kick off Monday's inspired human tradition on Process and Perception. The piece featured in the photograph above is not the one from my favorite archives, but a new favorite I found today while creating this post. Other favorites of mine at Paloma's Nest include Wood Paper Cloth and Good Eggs.
