The name was inspired by an old cocktail napkin my husband and I stumbled upon years ago. The shop started as a curated collection of vintage kitchenware and barware, then went into a long hiatus when life happened. In 2026, we dusted it off and replaced the kitchenware with handmade ceramics. Eventually, we’d love to make room for other handmade goods, but for now, welcome to our little corner of the internet.
THE CERAMICS
The wall vessels started with a practical problem: I wanted flowers in my house without putting them within reach of my cats. So I started making wall-mounted vessels to keep the two happily separated. Then the idea spiraled.
With a background in apparel and graphic design, I approach clay a little like fabric. folding, draping, layering, and playing with patterns and textures inspired by textiles. There are also subtle hints of my Middle Eastern background woven into the shapes, colors, and forms.
The pieces are both sculptural and functional, designed to hold fresh or dried flowers but equally enjoyable without them. Each is hand-shaped and hand-glazed, so small variations are part of what makes them unique.
