5 out of 5 starsPeter was awesome, expedited the order for me so I didn't blow my anniversary :) Quality was top notch and the copper hearts were really a perfect combination for a 9th wedding anniversary, combining copper and pottery. Wife loved them, and would definitely recommend FlopHouse! Thanks for looking out Peter!

5 out of 5 starsThought a review was already posted but it did not appear. FlopHouse is worth 10 stars anyway. Feel repetitious but as stated earlier Peter has a gift for shaping graceful hearts. This is my second purchase from this shop. Catherine and Peter made each transaction pleasant and easy.

5 out of 5 starsI got this set as a gift along with a beautiful shirt and necklace (the shirt I’m keeping for myself) - The set and necklace are beautiful as are all of Peter and Catherine’s creations. The gift I got from them was unexpected and so thoughtful. Knowing they make everything by hand is so special and I will definite ordering from them again. Thank you Peter and Catherine!

Creative Souls
About a decade ago, life-long costume designer and fabric artist Catherine Ione decided to reduce some of her inventory by re-covering every pillow in our home, the Casa del Campo. As the throw pillows began to stack up, I (Peter, her husband) proclaimed, "Gee honey, it's starting to look like a Flop House around here". Flop House Creations had begun.
Over the years we have developed as creative partners in this endeavor, Catherine with fabric, myself with a variety of media--concrete, reclaimed wood, more recently copper and steel--to forge (quite literally) a home-spun business of functional artwork that all features one key ingredient--LOVE--that is added to everything that we do.
When you purchase a product from Flop House Creations, whether it be an eco-botanically dyed ladies top from Catherine or a coal-forged, steel-handled, copper-bladed kitchen utensil from Peter, you are receiving the cumulative energies of two people who have spent long lives trying to stay in the sunshine of the spirit.
Thank you for visiting our shop, and enjoy!
