Feature Friday: Clay Lick Creek Pottery

I am really excited to tell you about this week's Feature Friday shop. Have I mentioned before how much I love the "Shop Local" feature on Etsy? That's how I found Kid Kapers, too. Well, this week I came across Clay Lick Creek Pottery by Karen from Carbondale, Illinois. Karen makes the cutest pottery, and it's all non-toxic and food safe, to boot. And when I say makes, she doesn't just buy the pieces and paint them, she actually throws them all herself, too! You can read a more in-depth interview with her here.

I know at least a couple of people who will love this Boston Terrier Bowl:

As a knitter, I of course love the Spring Time Yarn Bowl:

How much fun would it be to wake up to coffee in this adorable Orange Swirl 10oz Mug:

I really love the colors and lines on this Autumn Oak Leaves Bowl, and I love how it has the little foot on the bottom:

Because of our constant moving, Matthew 8:20 has come to mean a lot to our family. For us, the Sly Brown Fox Wall Hanging would be a great, artistic reminder of Jesus' words:

For those of you in or near western Kentucky, Karen will have a booth at Paducah's Lower Town Arts & Music Festival in May. You should definitely go check out her pottery, and tell her I said hi! I'm sad that we're going to miss it by just 2 1/2 weeks... maybe next year.


Also, for one week, Karen is offering a coupon code for 10% off any purchase! Just go shopping at Clay Lick Creek Pottery and enter MESSYMANGER1 at checkout, and leave her a nice thank you note while you're at it (what can I say, my momma trained me well).

So tell me, what do you love from her shop? I really can't pick a favorite... that's why I featured so many different things!
