Are you looking to redecorate your bathroom but are in need of some inspiration? Why not start with one of our ceramic soap dishes? Take the warm and sunny Buttercup design for instance…

To create a beautiful bath around this design, you could paint your bath a soft shade of yellow and get a simple off-white shower curtain to complement the color palette. You may want to add a couple of our Buttercup Votive Holders for some warm lighting which is especially appealing when you have guests over for a special evening.

To finish off the look, fill a Buttercup Bella Vase with some artificial Buttercup flowers.

Voila! A beautiful bath that is affordable and easy to create.

Now that the weather is warming up here in Virginia I’m pulling out my tried-and-true lemonade recipe. If you want to change things up with your standby lemonade recipe, I’d like to suggest an herb to complement the lemon flavor and relax you. Of course, I’m talking about lavender! The first thing you need to do is steep the flavor of the lavender into a bowl by pouring 2 cups of boiling water over about 1/2 cup of lavender. This should set for about 10 minutes before you drain off the lavender and mix the infused liquid with your lemonade.

Only two things could make your tasty creation any better…lots of ice and one of Emerson Creek Pottery’s cool pitchers. This lemonade would be lovely served in our 54 oz. Lavender Iced Tea Pitcher. Save a few extra lavender sprigs and tie them with raffia around an iced tea glass to really create a memorable setting.
