grandma nonna has great style. i love everything she does to her house and most of anything 'cool' in my house is from her. so when her birthday comes around, i always want to find just the right gift for her. this year, i brainstormed {while drying my hair ... you know, all good brainstorming happens in the bathroom} and came up with the perfect gift. they love to eat ice cream, but have about three bowls. for someone who adores dishes the way she does, i don't really understand where all the bowls are. but we eat ice cream out of the three bowls and then move on to coffee mugs {she does have my favorite emma bridgewater one that really makes eating ice cream out of a coffee cup quite pleasant}. but they needed some bowls.
so i started with these:
nice little white ceramic ramekins from fred meyer {$3.99 each}
and turned them into these:

SO cute (for lack of a better word)! I bet Nona loved them! I've been enjoying your blog this evening. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEmily, I love what you did to the bowls. Did you use a special kind of paint for the lettering?
