Cookie Jars, Christmas Cookie Jars, Christmas Gifts, Gifts For Her, Gifts For Women

Hello! Today I'm sharing with you some of my Cookie Jars that would make nice Christmas Gifts. They're also great as a Christmas Decor item for your kitchen.

The first one is a Jamie Mills-Price Design called "North Pole or Bust".

This design is painted on to my largest Ceramic Canister.

This one is a Renee Mullins design called "Bless My Winter Friends".

"The Three Snowmen" by Jamie Mills-Price.

"Live Love Laugh" by Jamie Mills-Price. 

"Santa & The Crow" by Terrye French. 

"Snow Sweet Snow" by Jamie Mills-Price. 

"Snowie" by Terrye French.  

"Annabell" by Terrye French.  

This one you could use all year long.

All of these Cookie Jars have been painted on the outside with acrylic paints. The insides have been glazed with a lead free clear ceramic glaze so they are food safe.  The outsides have all been sprayed with several coats of either a glossy or matte sealer to that they are protected.

 The Canister lids have a silicone rubber seal.

Some of these Cookie Jars are available in different sizes.

 All of the Butter Churn Cookie Jars are all one size. 

You can find all of these in my Etsy Shop here.

If you're thinking about ordering any of these as Christmas gifts, please have your orders in by November 1st. 

I don't know about you all, but I'm so glad that Fall has arrived! It's been entirely to hot for my comfort zone. 

 If you have any questions about anything please feel free to contact me. 

Thank you all for stopping by today!

Halloween Candy Jar/Cookie Jar "Boo Crew"

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share my newest make with you. This is a hand made Ceramic Candy Jar/Cookie Jar that I made. It's been painted with Acrylic paints and then sprayed on the outside with several coats of a glossy ceramic sealer. The inside of the canister has been glazed in a clear ceramic glaze so it's food safe. It has a silicone rubber seal in the lid. This is a Jamie Mills Price design. 

I really loved making this. It was so fun! I love Fall & Halloween, so I wanted to do something for this time of year. I can't remember the last time I painted anything with a Fall or Halloween design on it. I'm so glad I had the time to make this in between orders.

I hope it finds a special home to go to because it's one of my favorites.  It's available for purchase in my Etsy shop here.  

Once it's been sold I will move it to the "Made To Order" category so it can still be purchased.

Catching Up

Hi everyone, and Happy Friday! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I know it's been a while since I posted so I wanted to let you all know what I've been up to. I have been selling my ceramics on Etsy, so I've been working on getting more of what I've sold finished and added to the shop. I'm also working on a whole new stoneware set. I hope to be adding it within the next couple of weeks, so make sure you check back. I'll post again when I have it finished.

Anyway, have a great weekend!

Primitive Kitchen Canisters - NEW

Hi everyone! Today I thought I'd do a post about the new Primitive Kitchen Canisters I'm making, and show you some close up photos of these so you can see how awesome they look. 

This is the set of 3 Front View.

Close Up of First One.

Another View from an angle.

Inside the canisters.

These primitive ceramic canisters were made by me using a slip casting process. I've painted the designs in lead free ceramic paints and then glazed the inside with a solid Mocha. The outside has been glazed in a Mocha Crackle glaze. The lid handles are glazed in a glossy black glaze. Then they've been put back into the kiln and refired, which I also do myself. So you're getting these really cute handmade, primitive ceramic canisters that have been made by me from start to finish. Plus I also make other coordinating pieces to go with them. So there's a whole matching set for your kitchen! 

The set includes the following:

Primitive

Canisters

Utensil Holder

Grease Pot

Spoon Rest

Sponge Holder

Napkin Holder

Cream & Sugar Set

Soap Dispenser

Grease Pot/Compost Pot

One thing I've noticed about the photo is the Canisters, Sponge Holder, Spoon Rest, and Salt & Pepper Shakers look lighter in color then the rest of the items. 

That's not true. They are all the same color. It's the photo playing tricks on us!  Maybe it's the lighting causing problems? Anyhow the true color of everything is more like the Cream & Sugar Set. A true Mocha color.

Not shown in the photo that will go with this collection is a Butter Dish, Soap Dispenser & Napkin Holder. I'm working on these items right now. 

Now let's talk about your customization options that are available with this set.

1). Don't like the crackle glaze on the outside? No problem we can put a solid Mocha glaze on them instead.

2.) Don't like all the stars? No problem I can leave those off.

3). Don't like the sheep? No problem we can leave those off as well.

4). Don't like the twiggy vines, leaves, and pip berries? We can leave those off as well.

5). There are several wording options available with this set as well. 

Flour Sugar Coffee

Faith Family Friends

Live Laugh Love

Live Well, Laugh Often, Live Simply

Home Sweet Home

6). These are also available as a set of 4.

7). Have a customization of your own? No problem, feel free to email me or call me to discuss your ideas or wants.

By now you get the idea as to what customization we offer.

Right now these are MADE TO ORDER. If you want a set it usually takes me a couple of weeks to get them done if I don't have any other orders. You can find these at my Etsy store here.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by today!

I will also have a Set of Primitive Canisters painted in ceramic paints and glazes posted but, these are going to be reserved for a customer. I'm going to post them on Etsy as a MADE TO ORDER ITEM so that you can see what they look like painted in the ceramic paints and glazes and so you'll be able to purchase a set. 

I will write another post on my blog with photos, when they are all finished.

Thank you for stopping by today I hope you enjoyed your visit! 

Cookie Jars, Butter Churns, Ceramic Canisters, Lidded Jars, Etsy Store

Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a relaxing weekend!

 I spent the weekend pouring & cleaning ceramics, which I love doing.

This week I will be finishing a canister set for a customer that will be done in ceramic paints & glazes. I will also try and finish a couple of pieces that are painted in ceramic paints & glazes, for my primitive set I'm putting together. 

I'm hoping to fire this Saturday.

I've decided to list all of the items I'm going to be making, on my Etsy store and not here on my blog.  It will make transactions smoother for my customers, and it will make it easier for me as well. 

With that being said here are the ceramic items available in my Etsy store.
