Surprise Giveaway: Red Hot Pottery

This Hump day I have a little surprise for you, but before we get to that, I need to announce the winner of the Cottage Cheege giveaway. According to Random.org, the winner is #54...lovely Lenore from Lenorenevermore! Yippee and congrats! Thank you Marsi for an awesome giveaway. Be sure to check out The Cottage Cheese during this holiday season for unique vintage housewares.
~
Now for the surprise. I was contacted by a very talented artist, Chris, who runs Red Hot Pottery concerning a possible giveaway. I immediately fell in love with Chris' work (she was recently a featured seller on Etsy) and just knew you would love her work too! The only issue is that the Friday giveaway slots were all snatched up (weeheee!) so we decided that an impromptu Wednesday giveaway would be in order.
I think this work speaks for itself...
Tall Love Birdies Vase $60


Set of 4 Ice cream bowls $68


Extra Large Heart Bowl Set $72


These pieces are simply beautiful and all of these pieces would make amazing gifts for yourself or (if you must) someone else.
Here's what you can win:
GIFT SET Heart bowl and bath salts gift box $36


Winner will receive your choice between a WHITE or BLUE bowl and one pound of Deep Forest Mineral Bath salt. You can read about the details of this product here.

The winner will be chosen Thursday afternoon so the giveaway will only be open for a bit more than 24 hours!
How to Enter?
Simply leave a comment after visiting the shop and tell me what you like AND tell me which color bowl you would choose if you were lucky enough to win!
Good Luck!!!

    Thank you so much Christina for hosting my giveaway, and congratulations to Lenore!

    I'm so excited about this giveaway! I absolutely love Red Hot Pottery. The lovebirds vases are a close second favorite, but I have been wanting a set of 5 little birds so badly for my kitchen windowsill. If I'm lucky enough to win, I would choose the blue heart bowl. Off to check out the blog now...

    I LOVE the Tall Birdies vase! The color is so bright and beautiful and my daughter's nickname is "Birdy" for her little bird mouth.. so needless to say I have started collecting anything with birds for her! Love the flower bowl for my jewelry and the flora mug for delicious cups of coffee! Both of exquisite color! If i was lucky enough to win.. the turqoise color!

    If we had any extra "house" money right now I would totally spring for those ice cream bowls and donate Ryan's costco bowls to Goodwill (we would, however, keep my Crate and Barrel cereal bowls). In general, I just like handmade pottery best, probably because I did wheel throwing for several years and know how hard it is!

    We could totally make room for that little blue heart bowl, although we don't have a tub so the salts may end up as a gift!

    My future china is Lenox's Chirp, which has blue birds... all of this is SO tempting and perfect!

    My favourites are definitely the Blue Lovebirds Vase and then the blue birds themselves. Absolutely perfect. Excuse me while I pressure my boy to propose so I can register for the china already...

    I'd choose the blue if I had the choice. So perfect!
