hale & 'ilio: what a week and pigeon toe ceramics

Well, has it been a week or has it been a week? I am quite ready for this week to end and a little bit of R&R to occur this weekend. I am hosting THE Mother's Day Celebration and I still don't have the menu put together other than the salad I shared in my last post. I best be getting to work on this.

In other news, I am huge fan of Pigeon Toe Ceramics. Lisa Jones is the mastermind behind the pottery. She has a store in Portland. Her business has just taken off in the last few years and I couldn't be more excited for her! On a side note, Lisa's family and my family have been long time family friends. Then the kids grew up and we all went our separate ways. It has been years since I have seen Lisa (I am sure she probably doesn't remember me) and I ran across her website on a friends Facebook page. I was like thrilled to see her amazing work and then tell everyone in Spokane about it!

Each season she puts out a new collection. With each collection I want everything. One of these weeks while I am in Portland, I am going to stop by and say hi and buy myself a treat.

My treat may consist of one of these items.
