::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.

HAITI RELIEF ... proceeds from this item will be donated. TODAY I WILL...... fill in the blank tiny text bowl by Paloma's Nest

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.

::Friday's treasure box::

Good day and happy Friday to you! It has been a rainy week here in New England no one has their rain gear out yet so we are all soaked. I thought it might be a good idea to find something to remind us all that spring IS on the way... soon... ish...

Nesting set of 4 Poppy Bowls in Green and Honey Red

So I searched through my favorite items and found these wonderful stacking bowls made by Kristin and Andre of Clear Mountain Craft Studio in Claremont, New Hampshire. These bowls come in different color combinations, but for today I chose this one. The green reminds me of fresh spring grass, and the shape is organic and fresh.
