Rock Flower Paper ~ Scissors?!

I adore funky, unique items from creative companies and immediately fell in love with the rock-flower-paper company selections. 

There theme is "bringing the essence of nature home", and although it sounds dramatic, their items are show stoppers!

Take their trays..."Ho hum", you might say, "a tray is a tray!" 
Not so fast. These lacquer trays are very beautiful and difficult to make. 

They're made by hand [yes, that's right] 
with a finish that's dried under ultra violet light.
All their trays come with hang tags that introduce you to the artist.

Quince Red Tray with a high gloss lacquer finish 
that's heat & moisture resistant

They make a variety of placemats, totes, trays, napkins, aprons, kitchen towels...and so much more. What a spectacular shower gift any of their items would make (shower gift, heck...bring something as a hostess gift the next time you're invited to friend's and while you're at it, treat yourself to something).

And I've simply fallen in love with their canvas baskets. 
I move it here...then move it there...deciding exactly what I want to do with it, and using my women's prerogative and changing my mind constantly (!). 

These baskets are 100% canvas with a water resistant lining you can easily wipe clean and are collapsible with a sewn in wire rim 
in case you decide to store it away for the night.

Being a bird lover, I've been enjoying their #1 seller, 
the snowy bird canvas basket...

As always, shop locally to see if your favorite store carries 
any of these products; if not...
