ART: Little Teapot

I'm beyond giddy with the clay tea set that Lindsay of Little Bearpots custom made for me.

After meeting her at the LaunchPad event a couple of months ago, I became an instant fan of her craftsmanship. She creates so many exotic pieces that I simply had to ask her to make a teapot for me and it was not a challenge for her at all.

While I gave her creative freedom, we did collaborate on the types of glazes and surfaces that would work for this piece since I was looking for something subtle yet classic. And I was looking for yunomi-style cups for my tea sessions.

It turned out wonderfully!! My first steeping was with a Rooibos tea blend...but of course!

I'm so looking forward to steeping many more leaves in this pot

Last month, I stopped by Brooklyn's Launchpad for their monthly crafts vendor shoppe featuring the finest in artistry, nosh and vintage gear.

I was fortunate to meet artists and entrepreneurs: Jenowade (designs inspirational and creative jewelry - see the 'Namaste' silver necklace below), Lindsey Schneider of Little Bear Pots (picked up a new tea cup - definitely want to purchase her tea sets), Christiana Greene of Bum Cake vintage vendor (copped a 1940's silver and black opal piece - my first vintage jewel) and the ladies of Shea On U for their smooth body butter that smelled too good not to eat (yes I tried..ha!).
