What She Said Pottery chats with Crafty!

What should we know about What She Said Pottery?
I am an elementary art teacher, and I make pottery on my free time. I enjoy making art for any lover of handmade goodies. They make great gifts for a variety of occasions. I create them out of my studio in Wilmington, DE.

What item of yours is your favorite gift to give?
My favorite item to give are the mine/yours set of mugs. I can give these for an anniversary, wedding, engagement or to just about anyone!

All I want for Christmas is...
My entire etsy wishlist.




If you are looking for What She Said Pottery before Crafty Balboa Holiday on December 8th you can fine her here!

Let's Start this off with a brand new vendor, New Histories Jewelry!

Tell Us About New Histories Jewelry: 
NJH supports heirloom culture, where jewelry becomes a link between family members over generations. We also encourage the public to buy jewelry made with materials other than gold and white diamonds, changing social perceptions of value.

All production ring designs are made in sterling silver and natural gemstones. I work in conjunction with Arttech Casting Company because they are committed to using recycled and scrap metals. I also make many one-of-a-kind pieces, and produce some pieces in cast bronze.


Which of your products is the your favorite gift giving item? 
It's a tie between the Double Skull Ring and The Victorian Acrostic Ring- both so sweet: 

Double Skull Ring: A Memento Mori inspired piece, this sterling silver ring dons two matching human skull forms, symbolic of two people becoming one through love and commitment. 

Acrostic Ring: Many Victorian rings feature “the language of the stones”. These rings most commonly spell out either “DEAREST” or “REGARD” using the first letter of each set gemstone, characteristic of the highly sentimental era. This sterling silver ring is embellished with brilliant-cut pink tourmaline, emerald, yellow sapphire, blue sapphire, and amethyst gemstones, spelling “ASSET”.

My favorite thing about the holidays is...
Family, food, friends, and that warm feeling only this time of year can bring.


Visit New Histories Jewelry at Crafty Balboa Holiday on December 8th from 11am to 6pm and at www.newhistoriesjewelry.com
