Check this out! Was this a loooong summer or what??
According to my dad August is "Rabies shot month" for dogs, and its also my Birthday!! HA!
I turned Fifty 5.0 on August 28th (OMG!!) and I can say that my life so far have not been boring! 3 children, each one born in a different country, 3 citizenships, and several different careers. I can't wait to see what's out there reserved for me for this next phase! I am a self made artist and I cannot describe how great it is to wake up everyday excited to "go to work".
For those that don't know me, I am Christiane.
I am happy to share with you that I was featured in 2 magazines this summer! Images AZ and Modern Luxury Scottsdale. My kids think I am famous!! Ha! I can say for sure that magazines gives the reader credibility about my work and gives me the self confidence I need to know that I am changing the world into a more beautiful place, one plate at a time. It would be possible without the support of my family, friends and customers! Thank you so much!!
The portrait photo is from Wendy Davis Photography and the article was written by Brian Garrido. Thank you Wendy and Brian for an amazing job!!

Lorelai Photography is the amazing photographer that captured my work. And Katie Braden wrote the story. Thank you so much!
Inspired by the SEA...
This is a white porcelain bowl with a gorgeous turquoise glaze and a coral print. It transports us to paradise islands and white sand beaches. I was such an honor to make lots of these to chef Suzi and ship them to the Middle East to Bahrain.
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF OUR SUMMER 2016
Including the visits of amazing chefs to my studio to chose plates for their restaurants, trips to California and to Flagstaff to cool down from our extreeemely hot and long summer this year, (I could almost fire my plates on top of the ping pong table! hahahah). We had a whole week with 98F at 6am and 118F at 4pm, and 110F at 10pm!!
Thank you all so much for your support! I love that my clients become my friends! What a blessing!! I got to try amazing restaurants like the Bourbon Steak in North Scottsdale with chef Jeremy Mc Millan and Roka Akor with chef Jason Afford. OMG! If you haven't gone yet, those are a must! My daughter Rachel decided she loves squid and Raw fish and Chloe was crazy with the best falafel in town.
In October I'm going to have a Fall sale! Stay Tuned!!
Also if you are thinking of upgrading your Thanksgiving table this year with some gorgeous plates, this is a great time to order! It takes me around 6 weeks to ship. If you are Local (Phoenix, Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Carefree, Mesa, Surprise, etc) I will be participation in Hidden in the Hills 2016! I will be in studio #4. The same studio location from last year, they just changed the numbers. Please come visit me and have some treats and wine with us! Soon I will post more information!!
Hope your summer was as exciting and fun as ours. And wishing that the new season comes with lots of new opportunities for all of us!
I will post a recipe for Pão de Queijo in the next blog!
Love
Christiane
