Artist Alison Evans creates the most swoon-worthy, sea inspired ceramics. Each unique piece is hand molded, hand glazed and totally gorgeous. After falling in love with bestie R 's Alison Evans oyster plates, I started a collection of my own abalone and tortoise plates Christmas before last. Since then, Honey has been a doll and slowly added to it for various occasions (Valentine's Days, birthdays, Christmases), and then I rounded it out with a few more choice pieces on my recent jaunt down to New Orleans . I finally pulled them all out of the bowels of the closet and set to work incorporating them into my den decor. Now, I'm dying to get my hands on a few in bone white. I do have a birthday coming up, after all!! xoxo See the rest of my oyster inspired posts here and here .
