Working in her cute and colorful Texas home, Carole Smith creates a line of quirky, vintage-inspired ceramics she calls McCheek’s Mayhem.
Carole crafts one-of-a-kind ceramic bowls, mugs, and adorable ceramic owls. Using handmade and vintage plaster molds, each piece goes through three firings in her kiln before they are glazed and adorned with images of birds, flowers, and letters.
Her vibrant work and dedication to quality has earned her mentions on publications like Design Sponge, Apartment Therapy, Decor 8, Style Me Etsy, and much more!
Check out what the buzz is about and investigate McCheek’s Mayhem Etsy Shop for yourself!

I like the ceramics, too. Also – can you tell me where the little deer charm is from on the one photo?
Missy commented on July 11th, 2011 at 2:21 pmI don’t know where the deer charm is from Missy. Sorry.
