Lily Stratton is a potter in Greenville, SC with both a store front studio and and two stores on etsy; Lily's Pottery and Flowerlicous. I originally photographed her for the debut issue of G Magazine where she was the kawaii cover girl for a feature about the emerging Pendleton Arts District located in downtown Greenville. ❀ A lovely Lily bowl filled with fresh picked camellias still wet from the morning rain.

Though she still does the occasional pot or bowl, her main focus has been on creating unique jewelry pieces including earrings, rings and pendents. She is busy at work on a brand new line for 2010 while her current line is being sold in fifteen stores across the country and was just picked up for the catalog, Acacia.
Just a few doors down is Art & Light owned by Teresa Roche and she carries some amazing vintage furniture like the lamp and table above, as well as original art.
I could not resist this exquisite little (5x7) oil painting I got there for just $50.
You can visit Lily's studio Mon-Friday by appointment and every first Friday and Saturday of the month she and other artist open the doors, and you can tour many of the studios in the district. As a special deal for my readers, if you purchase anything from either of her esty stores: Lily's Pottery or Flowerlicous and just mention Piewacket in the "check out notes" then she will refund your shipping!
