✶ Our studio IS NOT open to the public, because it is not a brick & mortar, it's a workspace, and it is private. Thanks for understanding!

Local Studio Pick Up is available though - Read below - I have a lot of terms!
✶ Working Parent Alert! have a short studio work schedule because of my kiddo & school. I appreciate your reading through the listing for the shipping date of your order BEFORE you purchase.

►LOCAL PICK UP LIMITED HOURS ►Use the coupon code LOCALPICKUP to remove shipping charges for Chicago-only studio pick ups! I'm in the studio for VERY limited times during the week. When your order is ready, I will contact you with the available hours (generally between 9-2 weekdays) to set up an appointment. The appointment is needed because it will ensure someone is here to meet you.
I am NOT allowing anyone into our studio at this time. I meet you in the vestibule to hand off the package, and that's it, super fast!
►If for some reason we wind up needing to ship your items (you keep rescheduling, you forget twice about the appointment, etc) we'll invoice you for the shipping fee and then ship once that bill is paid unless other arrangements are mutually made.
🡺 Any questions, concerns, doubts, etc - PLEASE contact us! We don't bite, we don't want any stress, and we'd rather hear about your concern now rather than later.
So, seriously - Any questions whatsoever, contact us :)
-Nancy + Andy

5 out of 5 starsI was local to Chicago, and I messaged the shop owner to see if I could pick up the dishes in person. I needed them on a particular timeline as gifts for my wedding party. The owner was wonderful to work with, and I was able to pick up the dishes in person. They were a perfect gift and a piece of Chicago for my wedding party.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the cutest little dish. Purchased for my used tea bag in case I want another cup of tea soon. I look forward to purchasing more little dishes for gifts because they are the cutest & will make cute gifts just because. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
The ware we make is very durable! It's food, dishwasher & microwave safe. It's even safe if placed in an oven for warming, from cold to 350.
Our prints are indelible, meaning they will not scratch or rub or fade off.
We WANT you to use our ware every day, so we make them durable and great looking for every day.
Gift wrapping and packaging
We DO NOT gift wrap.
All of our eco packaging is chosen with the need to get the ware to the buyer intact.
With that in mind, we use a specialty kraft packing paper, and rubber bands to secure it. Occasionally if it's a large or varied shapes order we use cardboard inserts. This all makes for easy reuse/recycling of the packaging materials.
Our boxes are new.
Our "Thank You" cards are recyclable.
That covers it, but if you have any questions, do ask!
Wholesale availability
We do wholesale; we have other production commitments though and we are firm with our lead times (10-16 weeks generally)
Feel free to send us a Conversation here, but PLEASE include an email address we can reach you at, and send you more info.
Sizing details
All of our listings have a capacity measurement, physical dimensions and weight of the item empty. If you still can't understand the measurement or need more details you haven't seen in the listing, let us know.
Custom and personalized orders
Custom graphic inquiries are welcome, but please be aware that we charge for design work, including font searches. It's better for you to have your high resolution black & white files ready for us to have a look and determine if we can work with them or not, and please be ready to adjust where we feel there needs to be adjustments, in order to provide the best possible results.
Contact us prior to purchasing an item that you'd like personalized, or made custom by adding extra things to it. Message to Seller is not the place for requests like that because we may need to cancel the sale for a request made we cannot fulfill.
We DO NOT add names, dates, etc to ware without payment for these extra things. We expect questions, so message us.
