Hi, my name is Amy and I am the manager of this blog and writer of most of the posts on it. I am also the daughter of the founders of Jean Elton Studio & Gallery and have been using their products all my life. Now I have a home of my own, and guess what? I still use the dishes every day! And not just the dishes. Pretty much everywhere you look in my house, you will see evidence of Jean Elton.My parents have encouraged me to write up a profile of myself (as we started doing and want to continue doing with everyone involved in the company), but instead (for now), I thought I'd just post a few pictures of how I use Jean Elton dinnerware and home decor in my home. This large, hand-painted bowl is on display in my window-sill. You can see all the snow in the background! This picture has two kinds of Jean Elton home decor! The "PEACE" ornaments hang from my mantle. The small sail vase sits on my hearth. These are some of my favorite small square dishes, so I had to hang them on the wall. Aren't they precious? I always use a Jean Elton serving bowl to hold my fruit. I alternate which ones, because I have several colors. My cabinets are completely Jean Elton dishes! One of the sets you've already seen on this blog in the "Not for Display Only" post. Some of the others I had the privilege to paint myself! I use a round pitcher for my kitchen utensils. I chose the light pink color to go with some of my other kitchen appliances. My Christmas Tree was almost entirely made with Jean Elton ornaments! So as you can see, nearly 30 years of using Jean Elton dishes has not soured me on them. In fact, with all the new designs and colors, I'm more excited about them now than I ever was!
