You know I love my friend Outi! So I can't let this Friday go by without letting you know that she has finally listed her gorgeous ceramics over at her Etsy shop. Not only is Outi an immensely talented painter, but she's been painting ceramics for quite a long time, and they are beyond WONDERFUL. And I should know because almost all of our mugs in our kitchen cabinets are Outi's ~ including both "I am a Great Artist" and "I am a Great Writer" (for Sean) ~ simply a must for anyone to be greeted with the best reminder, "I am Great!", first thing in the morning. Personally, I like to keep the reminder going all day, first coffee, then water, then tea...I haven't tried it yet for wine :). And on a practical note, these are all dishwasher safe and they do not get hot in the microwave, a quality I love since I have burned myself one too many times heating tea in the wrong kind of cup.
As of this week, you too can purchase one of these mugs (and she has a few of her vase's up to!) for you or someone you love. (I know it's a little early, but these make the best holiday gifts.) Plus you should know that if you purchase any of Outi's work ~ you are supporting one of the nicest people I know.
