Hand-painted Pottery

Every item is hand-painted or stained individually.  Delightful designs and rich colors.  All are food-safe and nice enough to go from oven to table.  Many decorative items, too.

Alpaca & Llama

All original designs, Lis carefully researches the animals before she recreates them in wood.  Her wood silhouettes are perfect for stall signs or to decorate home, barn or office.

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs

Lis visits does research, visits dog shows, inquires of breeders and other dog fanciers to refine her designs.  There are many dog designs out there but these are beautifully detailed.

An avid horse lover and former trainer, Lis' first designs were of horses.  More than 100 designs, many breeds and disciplines from Western to Dressage, Arabian to Welsh Pony.

I am so busy trying to keep this web site updated, focusing on the artisans - Lis Smith (horse, donkey, dog, alpaca, llama designs, Celebrate! Ribbon Displays, Celebrate! Names, Titles & Phrases), Louise Hawkins (homemade soap, lotion bars, lip balms), Susan Sherman (hand-painted pottery).

 

 

In addition, having launched DonkeyHonk.com, I've been busy contacting people who provide goods and services to the people of southeast Ohio.  So, yes, I do still make the aprons, dolls and quilted items but by request or special order.     ----- Kimber

 

 

Vintage-Style Aprons

Artisan:  Kimber Caito

Patterned after vintage designs, these aprons are pretty and useful.  Protect your clothing.  Get one for each day of the week and one or two for the garage and barn.

High-Quality, Homemade Soap :: All-Natural Selection

 

 

Homemade Soap :: Many Fragrances

 

There are no preservatives, hardeners or detergents in Louise's high-quality, Homemade Soap.  Once you use these, you will never want to use commercially-prepared bars again!

 

 


 

Hand-painted Pottery :: Soap Sofa

 

Be sure to keep the soap in a dish that drains to prevent it from liquefying.  One of Susan's handmade, hand-painted Soap Sofas will keep your bars high and dry.

 

 


 

Gift Idea using Homemade Soap, Lotion Bar & Mini-Dish

Gift Idea :: Lotion Bar, Homemade Soap, Mini-Dish

 

Shown:  A lotion bar, hand-painted mini-dish (Seahorse design) and an all-natural, vegan Lavender-Rosemary soap.  Add your own scrubby and miniature wash tub for a lovely, useful and memorable gift.

 

 


 

Lotion Bars :: All-Natural or Fragrances

 

They don't dry out.  Set a lotion bar on one of Susan's hand-painted Mini-Dishes and leave it by the kitchen sink, on a nightstand, desk, or anywhere you want to have lotion handy.  They are for hands, arms, elbows, feet, legs, knees, body, neck - anywhere you need lotion.

 

 


 

Hand-painted Pottery :: Mini-Dish, "Elephant"

 

Hand-painted Pottery :: Mini-Dish, "Hydrangeas"

 

Susan's Hand-painted Pottery is made in Ohio with Ohio clay!  She started making these mini-dishes for Louise's lotion bars but they have so many uses.  They are food-, dishwasher-, and safe to use in a conventional oven.  Use as tea bag caddies or spoon rests; put one at each table setting for butter, salt or seasonings.

 

 


 

Lotion Bar Tubes :: More Than 80 Fragrances

 

Don't leave home without them!  Get one for each pocket, purse, backpack or travel case.  More than 80 fragrances from which to choose, see Lotion Bars
