like butter

When is a butter dish more than just a butter dish?

When the detail is more than perfection & you have been smitten with the artist ever since you were little girl AND your mother had a mug that had the exact detailing...how I use to sneak sips of hot cocoa in that mug pretending to be a writer (when my mom was away obviously).

This weekend Mr. B & I went to the St. James Art Show. It is located in Old Louisville. Some of you might remember Old Louisville. If we buy our forever home in the city...this is where we would love to call home. And one of the most delightful perks is the art fair every 1st weekend in October.
We go every year. And every year he allows me to pick out one of my gifts among the artists. This year I found Priscilla Eggen. I recognized her work immediately and wanted a mug (so I could finally have one like my mom's), but she was sold out. Instead the delicate butter holder in cream caught my eye.

I knew just the place and use for it...on my bedside table to hold my jewelry at the end of the day. What do you think?
Absolute charming....and as a small birthday gift from Mr. B..even more precious.

Go check out this amazing and talented arist. Her use of color is simply divine too. I constantly found myself torn between amethyst and cream. Plus, she is so sweet and endearing..and her work is something you will treasure.

Cheers~
