My Holiday Table


Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I love having a big holiday meal with friends and family. I also love setting a pretty holiday table. This year, for Thanksgiving dinner, I made these ornaments with everybody's name and used them as place cards and special souvenirs to take home. It is always nice to have seating arrangements planned out to avoid unnecessary confusion, and this little token added just little something special to our celebration!

Little Owl

The last few weeks have been incredibly busy! There have been holiday shows, with more still to come. I've been in my studio making so many new pieces! It has been busy, but fun and inspiring at the same time. Someone at a show a couple of weeks ago asked if I made any owls. I didn't have any, but always looking for new ideas and new inspirations, I made my first Little Owl. It is, as my youngest daughter would say, super cute. It would be adorable in a child's bedroom. Or, as I was inspired by the owl on my kids' shower curtain, maybe in a bathroom! It is a great example of taking an idea and trying something new. I love it.

As I said, I have been busy in the studio. In fact, I recently posted 36 new items to mychloeflower.com. I have never posted so many new pieces at one time. Take a look at some of my new favorites: Field of Black and White, The Forest, and, Aloha Birdie. As I mentioned, there are 36 new pieces, so check them out! I will also be making more in the next few weeks. It is the perfect time to do some holiday shopping for a unique, handmade gift that is truly special. It is not too late for special orders either. Plenty of time to get those delivered in time for the holidays!
