Williams & Williams, Bunny and I are Tight




 Source


Okay not really.

I have admired Bunny Williams for many years, but I have never met her........

Unlike my friend, Joan, who was the envy of all design bloggers everywhere when she went to lunch at Bunny's here!


I just ran across something at her shop in NYC, Treillage, that I must call your attention to. 

Yes, call me smug.

Wonderful charger and fish plate at Treillage
Charming little egg bowl from Treillage.


Love this fish dish!

You could use this for all kinds of things from appetizers to dessert!
Great rimmed soup bowl.

All the above from Bunny Williams' Treillage.


The reason for my smile and this post is that I have collected Mexican pottery for many years - like 25 or 30 years.

I collect vintage pottery, but started with the pottery of Gorky Gonzales, a very talented potter from Guanajauto, Mexico. I bought my first pieces on a weekend trip to Nuevo Laredo in 1976.

I posted a little about it when I first started blogging:



See all those plates above the window - yep, all Gorky. See the three on the left - kind of square rimmed bowls - they were my first purchase. I still love them today.

Here is my dining table as it looks today.......











Love my chicken on top of my cook top. Sometimes she holds cookie cutters for me.



And here is where I make my coffee or tea each morning - one canister holds the coffee, the other holds tea bags.

Enough, you say? Okay, okay....... 

Maybe it's overkill ,but I do love my pottery and to see some of it on Bunny Williams' site is just sort of validating, ya know? 

So, like I said, Bunny and I are tight......

I wish.

  2. I love pottery too. My family says I have a bit of an obsession. Bunny's stuff looks beautiful and so does your collection! Love that name...Gorky. You'll never forget it.

  8. It's not overkill. I say a crowded house is a reflection of a very involved creative person. I love going into houses and seeing collections. It you came to my house, you'd see why I feel that way. Your dining table made me gasp! Just gorgeous!
