Went to the farm to pick up some packing supplies...

Home Sweet Home with New Heart in Home logo...

New Logo offering! Check out our new Heart in Home logo we are offering for personalization. 

 Home Sweet Home

This is the email that started it all:

 Hello,
I was wondering if it would be possible to do the house logo on this? If so, I would like the top line to say "HOME SWEET HOME" and the bottom line to say "Est. 2014". Could you please let me know if this is possible? Sorry - I believe it is actually a cabin, but do you think that would look ok or is it possible to make it look more like a house?
It is for a housewarming gift so I was also wondering what the estimated delivery date would be.
Thank you

 We did some digging around in the logo box and replied back:

Hello. I actually found two houses we could use. The one on the bottom is the victorian house, the one on top the house with heart. I've attached the picture to this email. Please let me know if you can't see them.

Thank you, zotterthepotter

In response: Thank you - they are both great! I think the one on top the house with heart would be perfect.
Thank you!

This is the end result:

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I received it today and I am extremely happy with how it turned out! You did an amazing job! Thank you again for all of your help!
Thanks,

I just wanted to tell you that I received my crock yesterday and I love it!! My Dad made wooden spoons out of as many different types of wood that he could get his hands on. His collection has over 225 spoons and the name of each wood is written on the handle. He passed away this past summer at age 69. It was a shock to my entire family. My Mom has shared some of his spoons with us kids to have and remember. I put my 30 spoons in your beautiful crock and it is a perfect home to the beautiful legacy my Dad has left us.

Fondly,Jen H

 

 Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us and allowing us to share a part in your family's history.

Sincerely, zotterthepotter

A nice note from a customer...

 

 Just wanted to say that I love your pieces and have enjoyed sending orders to my friends and about to order another. Have never received a piece of my own though. Think I should change that soon. Anyway, Thanks for your beautiful work.

Our Marriage Crock survived Hurrican Sandy....

I had a conversation the other day with a customer who was calling to order a marriage crock for a friend.

She told me she had gotten her wedding crock sixteen years ago! Sixteen years when she got married, and now she has five kids. She didn't know five kids were in her future when she got her very own marriage crock. They lost their home but was able to salvage their marriage crock.

Our pottery is travelling the world....

A dear customer sent us a picture of her personalized baby cup display she ordered for each grand-child.

She is blessed with family.

 *****

We heard from a customer in Ireland who received her order:

 I have received the marriage crock today and am delighted with it.

Thank you so muchGrace S.

I'm always so relieved when our pieces travel to other countries and arrive in one piece.

A beautiful June night in Pittsburgh...

 

After such a long winter, it seemed like warm summer nights would never come. The other night proved me wrong as we strolled along the river to the Three Rivers Arts Festival for some art jewelry and funnel cake.

We got the following email from a customer today:

Lynnette J.

I wanted to say thanks for such a beautiful product.
Initially, I was quite upset that I ordered this as an anniv gift for my husband over a month in advance and didn't show up until a month past that. However, the pot is beautiful and we absolutely adore it. It is used daily in our kitchen and has even been used for fresh flowers!
Thank you!

Here was my response:

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know.
Sometimes, the process of making our personalized pots takes a painstakingly long time. I apologize for that.

I hope you enjoy your piece for many, many years,
J-

Lamp

One of our customers emailed a picture of a lamp she made with our personalized wedding gift.

This is her signature gift to her friends and family. We're proud to be a part of it.

 

Great gift message from 6.4.14:
Jessica & Jared, God Bless you on your marriage! May you have joy and a lifetime of blessings as you begin your lifelong journey together as one. Much Love, Cy & DeeDee
