Announcement
Happy holiday season to everyone!
After Winter Solstice two days ago, we will be seeing the sun staying up longer and longer every day.
No matter what you celebrate, if you have time off, or work overtime, I hope that you find some peace and love in these lengthening dark days (or midsummer in the Southern Hemisphere!). If you're having a hard time, feeling unseen, bypassed, stressed, unable to make ends meet while everyone parties down and gives gifts, I hear you. I've definitely been there, and I'm thinking of you.
My son and I are off to see my mother for Christmas, her gift to us and herself, and will be back in the studio January 5th.
In the meantime, the shop will be open to take orders, but I won't be shipping until I get back. I will be taking illustration work with me to work over the next 10 days... drawing... dogs!
Thank you for a fantastic year on Etsy this year. I got to work with so many wonderful people creating their visions out of clay... custom bowls, mugs, and a myriad of pets from dogs to cats to chinchillas. Thank you for allowing me to bring memories and love into your lives with my little handmade figurines. Each and every one was made with love, and I feel so honoured when I hear how much the recipients appreciate them.
I started a map of orders, putting little pins where buyers and recipients are... and you are ALL OVER THE WORLD! From down the street to South Korea, Denmark, Australia, Boston, Singapore, France, Dallas, Florida, Halifax. It is utterly amazing to me that my ceramics are spread all over the world like this thanks to you and Etsy.
And especially thank you to all who have left reviews, photos and sent messages telling me how you love the ceramics you receive.
I hope you all had a good year, and that this coming 2024 will be better for you and all of us, whether you've had a hard year up to now or a good one.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year!

5 out of 5 starsLeanne was really clear and responsive through the whole process of making the figurine, and made sure it was exactly right. It was a gift for friends, and they loved it—a really small and sweet memorial item for those who have a lost a pet.

5 out of 5 starsHuge thank you to Leanne who did a wonderful job creating a ceramic replica of my beloved pet who passed after almost 16 years. Leanne so thoughfully communicated with me throughout the process and used many photos to guide her in that process. She nailed my pet's very distinct markings and position. I am so grateful to have such a lovely momento of my gal in her signature sleeping position. I'd HIGHLY reccomend Leanne to anyone!

5 out of 5 starsI couldn’t be more pleased with my porcelain dachshund figure. Leanne was a dream to work with. Sent pictures every step of the way. Was always prompt with any questions I had. The finished figure looks just the picture. Packed very well and received on time. Wonderful!!

5 out of 5 starsOne of the cutest things I now own. Seller was very communicative and sent frequent updates on her progress on the item, also arrived way earlier than I expected. Would buy again.

5 out of 5 starsEverything was perfect. The cup was even better than I expected! In addition, Leanne kept me informed throughout the process by regularly sending me photos of the progress! Great follow-up and a great finished product, which the person to whom it was given LOVED.

5 out of 5 starsWhat an amazing item. I had ordered three before and once I got a new dog I knew I needed to get another. She is very communicative throughout the process and puts a lot of effort into capturing your pet! Absolutely recommend.
