fantasy art and tree chatter of aquariann

My excitement for the Strawberry Festival has been plumping up since I first mentioned it in my strawberry manicure post on Monday. Tomorrow I may pop after devouring the strawberry shortcake! I'm hoping to find some local jam to satisfy my cravings through the summer season, too. But first, I couldn't resist the temptation to see what fruit jams were available from Etsy sellers around the world. Although there's plenty of edible jam options that made my mouth water, the strawberry jam jewelry was what caught my attention. The homemade eye candy is very, berry cute. 1.

I don't know if strawberries being my favorite fruit stems from my taste buds or my childhood adoration for the Strawberry Shortcake cartoon . Either way, I'm berry pleased to have a new addition to the strawberry collection in my kitchen. Ildi of Ceraminic sent me a cute ceramic dish that made a safe journey all the way from the Netherlands! She handmade the strawberry plate from white clay, then painted both sides with a quality non-toxic glaze. The texture speckling the juicy red was created with tulle and mimics the white polka dots. The glossy pottery piece measures 5.75"x4" and can be used as a spoon rest, dessert dish or jewelry holder. Disclaimer: I received this free ceramic dish as a thank you gift for hosting a giveaway.
