Valentine's Love is here to warm you up!

I finally understand why Valentine's Day is so essential during this time of year. HEAT!

We are waking up to yet another snow storm this morning. It's cold & wet and my Azorean blood just isn't happy about it!

Luckily, I will be at the studio today, heater on, keeping toasty as I craft up some lovely Valentine's gifts for you and yours!

I have some cuties listed in my Etsy shop already.. and I have some more finishing up in the kiln today! They should be ready to list by the end of the week! Lots of cute designs for ring bowls, and catch alls for your sweet!

Last call for custom ornaments!

Hi all,
Just thought I'd leave you a friendly note to let you know that today is my last day accepting custom work for the holidays. I have several ornament designs that can be personalized with dates and names celebrating a new marriage, baby, engagement, love and more! Get yours in quick!!! www.chrissyannceramics.etsy.com

Happy Holidays! xoxo

Happy Black Friday!

Happy Black Friday! Will you be going out to the BIG stores hoping to score some amazing deals?!?! I will not. Just the thought of the crowds & the stories of the pushing and shoving is not my cup of tea. Instead I will be doing some last minute things around my studio for this weekend's holiday sale that kicks off today at 2pm. I will also be listing some goodies like these new dish sets that are two tapas style dishes that come ready for gift giving in a sweet Chrissy Ann Ceramics gift box! I started listing some nautical designs in my Etsy shop & hope to be listing some of my Fleur de lis designs later on today!

Take a peek & let me know what you think! http://www.etsy.com/shop/ChrissyAnnCeramics?section_id=7578892

And for those of you local folks.. Our Annual Holiday sale is all weekend Friday 2-9, Sat & Sun 10-5. For more information about the artists involved and directions check out our studio website at www.HatchStreetStudios.com

Have a great long weekend! xoxo

Gifts for Him!

New Gifts for him up in my Etsy shop!

Show him that you still think he's a little hottie with a Stud Muffin dish! Now available! www.chrissyannceramics.etsy.com

Season's Greetings!

Is it just me or does the holiday spirit have you early this year too?

Mine happened before Halloween this year! Yikes! I think it might have had something to do with my ornament making frenzy that began then and I think the Elvis Christmas Album on the stereo didn't help. ; )

So I've been busy elfing away at the studio.. cranking out LOTS of handmade ornaments. Many of them are personalized with names, monograms, special dates and messages. Its been really fun to make these personalized custom gifts for people and their loved ones from all over the states and Canada. I will continue to take the customized personalized ornaments until December 11th then I must stop due to make time & shipping so close to Christmas. So if you are looking for a affordable, unique personal gift for anyone on your list. Please take a peek at my shop and let me know if I can help! www.chrissyannceramics.etsy.com

Season's Greetings! xoxo

Yeah Earth Day treat.. Etsy Front Page!

What a gorgeous mix of beachy bliss!!!

Happy Earth Day!

Here is a Top 10 list from earthday.net of super easy things you and your family can do to go Green (er) beginning today!

1. Project Switch: Change your light bulbs! Use Energy Star bulbs! Shut your lights when not in use, and use a dimmer to set the mood & save the energy!

2. Drive your car differently – or drive a different car altogether! Pull out that bicycle, or walk over to your local market for that gallon of milk! Save car emissions, save some money in gas, and get in shape!

3. Your house – not too hot, not too cold! Try using a sweater when temperatures aren't ideal, or go nude if its too hot! ; )

4. Tame the refrigerator monster! Lower it by 1 degree to save some energy, or find a new spot for it if its near a heating vent, or always in the sun.

5. Twist the knobs on your other household appliances! For one, wash your dishes by hand! My dishwasher broke a couple of months back, but now I found that I actually like having the quiet time to clean dishes after a home cooked meal. Become one with your dishes and over time, that will save a few loads in the dishwasher, conserving energy.

6.Green plants with less water, more trees to provide shade. Try groups of lovely hostas, and reuse rain water to water your gardens and boxes!

7. Buy Green Energy, and invest in green energy stocks.

8. Go organic. Its better for you, and better for the environment! Plus.. it tastes and feels better! Support your local farmers and crafts people!

9. Buy recycled.

10. Be a minimalist. Buy quality products that last longer and shop vintage!

Free Valentine gift with EVERY Valentine order!

To show you how much I love you.. I made these lovely little gifts for all of my February purchases in my Etsy shop from February 3 through February 9, 2010. Each design varies slightly in color and text.. Fun little heart shaped holders great for a spoon rest, chopsticks, votive, or just as a cute home accent!

Be My Valentine! xoxo, Chrissy

Stocking up..

Just to let you know I've been a little quiet here because I have been a busy little bee restocking and photographing at the studio. I'm still playing catch up from the holiday bustle and my Etsy shop is slowly filling up again! I listed several tapas designs in both my regular 7 inch designs, and smaller 5 inch tapas.

I listed a bunch of new goodies last night, and a few this morning. Take a peak~ www.chrissyannceramics.etsy.com


I am still working on those Valentine (and fun Anti-Valentine) designs. I am expecting to have a glaze firing with them sometime at the end of this week. *fingers crossed*

Have a great day! xo, Chrissy
