At 'Flatt's Inn', Noto, Japan.
This inn's owners are Australian and Japanese. 'Flatt' is Australian's family name.
Seems like napkins ought to be ridiculously easy to sew, yet they drive me nuts. I must have spent at least an hour on this one. I love the look of the little edge on this style of napkin, but somehow sewing them drives me nuts. Am committed to making a whole set of them in Terrain by Kate Spain to give as a gift.
Used a Sugar Town Quilt Co. tutorial for a square table topper, only reduced the size to make a napkin.
This is the Japanese MINO yaki free cup set.
Mino-yaki started about 1300 years ago.
During late 16th century to early 17th century, tea ceremony became popular and special Mino-yaki tea sets were produced for the tea masters who have special preferences.
Mino-yaki is known as playful ware. It features bold shapes, unrestrained decorating and unique glaze.
These characteristics are more likely seen in modern art in the west but asymmetric beauty was already appreciated 400 years ago in Japan.

Well, kind of!
I open up boxes and find all sorts of goodies. This is mostly melamine though there is some polythene and possible polystyrene - the stuff of picnic ware, durable, reasonably unbreakable and wonderfully colorful. Mostly 50's and 60's stuff
An assortment from around 1903-1910. There were many different shapes of cup and saucer, often with a painted band around the the rim. I think the dazzling blue glaze was called chrome 11; in many other cases, as you can see, green was layered over the blue.
The first pieces I've made in ceramic, a cutlery set.

Essas fotos são das primeiras peças que eu fiz na aula de cerâmica :D
Talvez eu demore pra colocar novas fotos por que a professora só queima uma vez por mês - o forno é à lenha, daí dá um pouco mais de trabalho.

My sister Deanne Coles-Christensen is a gifted decorator. I helped her shoot these photos of her incredible home in Santa Fe that she’s sadly leaving after ten years. She's moving to Salt Lake City this week.
Deanne’s philosophy as an interior designer is to use her clients’ existing objects — those items with personal history and meaning — rather than purchase a bunch of new stuff. If you could use some of this beauty in your life, hire her. She’s now available for consultations and no job is too big or small.
Two of our favourite staffordshire mugs...
When I met Hanne, we both had a fascination of retro-design, and in those days (about 7 years ago) we were frequent guest at local fleamarkets, but had little cash to spend.
The Staffordshire mugs wasn't hard to find and attracted us with their strong colors and retro-patterns, and they were affordable – about 5 kr (that's a dollar per mug).
So it didn't take long to build a nice little collection, and we still use a selection of the best as...coffee mugs!
They're going to be featured as our favourite object at the blog Rearranged Design.
