From my grandparent\'s vast collection of pottery from all over the world! It\'s been quite an overwhelming process going through their collection & can only do so in small doses because of how much there is! BUT, it\'s also rubbed off on me in the last 2 years especially, I appreciate them so much more opposed to when I was growing up-I had no idea what they saw in these items, lol Sadly, I cannot keep them all myself and keeping them in storage just feels wrong. They need to be loved, bring a smile and evoke conversation! That feels right to me. Thank you so much..!
