As the year draws to a close, I am reminded how lucky I am to work in a business centered around art, design, and doing good through my work.
Now entering my 40th year as a potter, I am incredibly grateful to you, my dear customers, for sustaining my business and providing me with the opportunity to carry on this journey of art and creation.

🎄🎄🎄 Our Popular House Lanterns are back in stock and Ready to ship! 🎄🎄🎄
Holidays are approaching fast, they'll be here before you know it!
~~Order early for Holiday Delivery~~
🎄They will add a touch of magic to any corner of your home, imagine a mini village displayed on a mantel or a couple of dreamy chalet houses set on a living room table.
I love the little touch of cutting out the windows for the light to shine through, an invitation for kids to imagine who might be the tiny inhabitants of these small fantasy dwellings.
You can use battery-powered tea lights, or real candle tea lights if you set the houses on a fire safe spot. Either way, they make for a stunning, classy nighttime feature.
🎄🎄🎄
]]>Working on these right now reminded me of how my mom loved not having to chase her yarn across the floor, LOL :)
This is one of the smaller ones I make and I originally made it for crocheting, but I find it very practical for knitting as well.

New eco-friendly 3D printed "green plastic" knitting / crochet yarn bowls, just throw in your bag and take along and show off at your next knitting group meeting.
]]>Our NEW 3D printed yarn bowls are a great addition to our ceramic yarn bowl collection for those of you that would like to take your project with you everywhere you go. They are very light (from 4 ounces up to 1 lb) and very durable.
It's been very interesting for Marietta to work with her son Martin and watch her designs be converted into a digital file and then printed out slowly over the course of 12 hours or so. It's not an automatic a process as one might think, as it takes a lot of adjustment and fine tuning. In many ways very similar to handmade ceramics.
And like ceramics, each peace is a unique piece of Art, just in time for your gift giving!
Made from eco friendly PLA plastic which derives from corn and it's biodegradable.
3D printed in our studio in Minnesota with our exclusive leaf design in many different colors which you can see here
Enjoy the Fall colors!

]]>Just in time for Fall decorations, new autumn decor with fall colors from BlueRoomPottery.
One of our new colors is this beautiful rustic hunter green with a moss woodland lichen green for highlights.
...and to our nice surprise, Apartment Therapy published this related post, it's a really nice stylish example of the color used in a home environment!
Take a look,
http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/the-color-of-the-moment-is-hunter-green-224220
To quote them: "Lately, we've been seeing a shift away from white and back towards darker richer colors for interiors — and no color suits the mood quite so well as hunter green...."
Enjoy and order soon to beat the Holiday rush!
:)
]]>Precious little necklaces for all ages. One of a Kind bridesmaids handmade gifts.
Our potter Mary Vandorou is the creator of these lovelies :)
We will be listing them soon, stay tuned for more...
]]>
It is a warm rich earthy dark red-brown color and I would call it "Keramidi" or "Terracotta Roof Tile Red" as it's called in Greece.
It is a favorite winter color of mine, because it reminds me of a sweater that my beloved late mom made for me in this color, when I was in high school.
So let me share here with you the featured piece,
and a Valentine Hearts' themed one for yourself or the special knitter in your life ♥
Enjoy!
]]>Thank you for making last year one of our best years and we hope that you will be with us in the new one.
We will be back in the studio on the 3rd of January as we are still very busy with orders and will also be adding more new work in the weeks to come. We hope that you will find something you like.
Health, peace and love to all!
:)

Available in the following colors, will ship in about one week after order is placed.
Enjoy!
Just place the yarn ball in the yarn bowl and pull the thread through the slot as you knit. Yarn bowls keep the ball from rolling across the floor, out of your kitty's playful paws, and the ball will twist and turn in the bowl as it gets unraveled while you knit!
A very useful bowl and great to look at, as part of your decor when you take a break from knitting!
Happy Holidays!
]]>Marietta :)

Hope you have a great weekend!

We are working night and day to get our orders out, and will respond personally to all inquiries just as soon as possible.

Happy Holidays
