Friday!

Happy Friday! 


So, I have a bit of an update to yesterday's post. I wasn't able to find anything about the Eva Zeisel sugar bowl featured on Etsy. However, I did find out that Crate & Barrel carries a reproduction line of Zeisel's Century dinnerware (originally produced in 1952), including *drumroll* the Century sauce boat that I mentioned yesterday that I love.

I'll be saving up my Washingtons for this puppy, for sure.

I also want to share one of my favorite Etsy sellers with you: BonniesKnitting http://www.etsy.com/shop/bonniesknitting She makes ridiculously amazing hats, and I'm also saving up my farthings for one of her cloches.

I have no idea how she makes these, and I think that's actually part of the appeal. I could never make this myself, so I'll just have to buy it from her. The woman's got talent. Period.

Anywho, have a wonderful weekend! : )

A-say whaaat?!

Is this really an authentic Eva Zeisel piece (on Etsy?)? I've never seen her work in anything but pure white, and it looks more substantial and less delicate than her other work.

I'm going to have to investigate this. If it's real, then it's a bargain and a half.

This is possibly my favorite Eva Zeisel piece. I saw it in person at the NY MoMA. It was shinier up close.

Here's a good site about Eva: http://www.evazeisel.org/who_is_eva_zeisel.html She's one of the few female designers of the 20th century that people have heard of. She made it!

Happy Thursday (the sun is finally out!)
