Although I love many things I’ve found on Etsy, I generally don’t shop for myself. It’s just not in my budget. So when I shared a set of pretty green items on St. Patrick’s Day, I certainly didn’t plan on buying any of them. (Wishing I could, sure, but I usually leave it at that.) One of those items stuck in my mind, though. I loved it, and I found myself thinking about it and worrying everyday about whether someone would buy it. So after a week, I figured maybe it was a sign that this one was very special, and I’d regret it if I didn’t buy it while I could. So now I am the happy owner of Alina Hayes’ Norway Spruce Green Pitcher.
You should definitely check out Alina’s shop. She has many beautiful pieces, and I was very pleased with her customer service and shipping. My little pitcher arrived quickly and wrapped in plenty of bubble wrap. Now that I’ve got it, I need to decide what to do with it (besides just smiling at it).

Good for you! Sometimes you have to treat yourself and ceramic items are useful too!

Shannon,
You’re an absolute sweetheart. Thank you so much, your post made me smile ear to ear. I couldn’t be happier that the pitcher will be residing with such a wonderful person
