How adorable are these guys! We were lucky enough to meet with another new craftsman out in Thailand this summer and knew that we would be bringing these guys home with us!

NEW! Have you seen our brand new ceramics from Thailand? Sourced from a lovely new maker we met on our most recent trip, we immediately fell in love with these fishy plant pot buddies and no one can ever resist a cute little turtle face like that can they?!

Not just these though, we also have some beautiful and tactile new terracotta air plant hangers and glazed elephant incense holders to add to the collections.
