Happy Holidays!

Thank you for your cdbc love and for shopping with me this year. My Etsy shop is now on vacation for the holidays, but locally you can still browse my ceramics (see below). These shops are cheery places, and always have something wonderful to discover. Maybe I’ll see you there :) Wishing you a cozy, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Cherie
