I’m nuts over these teeny tiny clay houses! They’re made by an American artist named Laurie, who’s currently living in Holland — just a few steps down a cobblestone road from Rembrandt’s birthplace.
For the colored houses, Laurie uses real pigments from the Old World, ground by a windmill in Holland. She offers architecture examples from Amsterdam, Italy, Paris — even the French countryside. I think they make the most charming collection. I want one of each!
Wouldn’t they make the cutest (tiny!) souvenir from a trip to Europe?

Her sale section includes the sweetest little French farmhouse as a necklace. Swoon …

Oh my, oh my, oh my! Did you see that Greek windmill?
As an aside, I wish I was living in Holland this very instant.

So timely, G! I just confirmed my flights to Amsterdam in two weeks. Even though its another business trip, I’m pretty certain there might be an hour to spare in order to track down tiny clay houses…

These are so fun. I would love to have them lined up on my shelves.
