Whimsical Artisan Ellie Cup & Saucer
Want something unique based on age-old ceramic celadon traditions that will put a smile on your face every time you have your tea or coffee? Then youāve gotta grab this whimsical elephant cup and saucer from the amazing Penpan. It will delight your guests as they use the elephant trunk to sip their morning joe. It is beautifully made by an artisan whose work Iāve bought over and over to sell in a yearly auction for an elephant sanctuary. Her work is always a big hit and sets off bidding wars, helping to save and care for rescued abused elephants. Poetic justice!

On holiday
For summer, I redecorate the master bedroom in a costal theme. These coasters are on the bedside tables to hold the cold lemon water we have there during the night if we happen to wake up and want a sip. They fit perfectly with the theme of the room and are a bit larger in circumference than I thought - which is great as this accomodates various sizes of glasses or mugs. The blue is a beautiful shade and although the design in the fish is somewhat etched, the surface is smooth and even, providing a sturdy base. They are also thick, which means I don't need to worry about heat-transfer to the oak of our tables.
