Etsy Sunday - Whitney Smith Pottery
I never knew much about pottery until I was schooled by Jason Kishell, an amazing local ceramic artist. I still don’t know much, but at least I can appreciate it more! Ceramic art ranges from the functional to the avant garde and everything in between. While I can appreciate all, the pottery really speaks to me. Probably because I’m a foodie and love me some cake stands! Which brings me to Whitney Smith’s awesome shop on Etsy. As you can see for your self, she has brought a ton of whimsy to functional serving pieces. My favorite: the cupcake stands!

They Blinded Me With Sciency Crafts!
I love the Houston Museum of Natural Science - the whole place is oozing with awesomeness from the second you walk in. Dinosaurs, butterflies, ancient civilizations - they have everything you want to do on a rainy day! Which brings me to their awesome blog, which was created by the very lovely and talented Erin B. (who you may remember as a guest poster from when i was pretending to be Irish this summer).
Today, one of the posts talks about making easy and cool ornaments using Borax and pipe cleaners (and parental guidance!) check it out!
