quigglys

my favorite place to get/make christmas gifts this year is quiggly's clay house. it is a pottery shop in richardson, tx and it is fabulous. they have everything you need (or never thought you needed) to make a unique, handmade, but still very professional gift. the shop owners, kristi and kirby carmichael and the entire staff go out of their way every time. they are willing to help you pick out a paint color, offer design suggestions, and the best is that they can get perfect hand and foot prints from a squirmy toddler. you can tell that they love what they do and i think that makes all the difference.

i have been there at least 6 times in the last few years and i am impressed every time. whether it has been for ladies night (awesome), a bridal shower, or i have invited 15 of my closest mom-friends and their adorable, yet hyper kiddos to take over the shop for the afternoon, they are always welcoming. no matter who i go with, everyone has always been amazed at what they could do, even when they claim no artistic ability.

on tuesday, i went with a group of moms, dads and kids to quigglys. it was so much fun! most people made gifts and ornaments for christmas. we got little hand and foot prints on pretty much everything!







if you are looking for something to do with your kids, or a very unique christmas gift, you have to go to quigglys. there is still plenty of time between now and christmas. they have everything glazed and fired usually about a week after you paint it. i hope you enjoy it as much as i always do!
