GLAZED EARTH REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY-Check this out!!

I was headed out of the office for lunch when my cell phone rang, another product to investigate. I quickly grabbed what I needed and exited my office.

GLAZED EARTH

Here is a little bit about Glazed Earth :
"I live in Kansas with my wonderful husband, Dan, and our ornery cat, Taddy. I have dabbled in every medium known and always find my way back to clay. My BFA in Ceramics is from Texas Tech University and I have an MFA in Painting from Kansas State University."


She has ALL sorts of stuff. She has vases, bud vases, tea bag holders/small dishes, plates, bowls, soap dishes/spoon rests, mugs/cups, and pitchers. I received a little tea bag dish/small dish. It came all wrapped up with a pretty ribbon like this...


Here is her shop welcome: (a nice shop welcome I thought)
"Welcome to Glazed Earth! Handmade pottery that is unique, colorful and well crafted.

Each piece of my pottery is made with care and a lot of love. Using white earthenware clay or red earthenware clay, I roll slabs, press stamps, lace, doilies, my handmade stamps and found objects into the clay. I use a variety of slump molds for forming my work. The separate pieces are then assembled to make the various pieces such as my vases, teapots and wish vessels. The vases are watertight and look great with any color and type of flowers. All glazes are food safe. Every piece is a one of kind!

Don't see what you want? I do special orders! Please give at least 3 weeks notice. "

I would love one of her bud vases.

Here is a little something about the Tea Bag Dish I received :


"Small 3" round dish for holding your used tea bag. Also used for putting rings in while doing the dishes or for earrings when you go to bed. These dishes are food safe so you can use them for dipping trays: soy sauce for your sushi or ketchup for your fries.
I made this dish with a rubber stamp carved by me and a wooden stamp I found at an antique store. This dish sits on four 1/2" feet."

I like that I can use this and not be worried about if it is safe for you to eat off of.


Here is a pic of the tea bag dish with Ketchup...

MUNCHIE MUG REVIEW/GIVEAWAY


My little sister wanted a snack so we used the Munchie Mug.

I was sent the
Munchie Mug in blue. My sister really likes it.

Here is about Munchie Mug :

"About Us:


Witty Works Inc. is a family-based business in Sonoma, California, that is dedicated to the safety and development of children’s products for a better world. Witty Works maintains a high standard in manufacturing and design. Witty Works was established with the concept of creating products that are safe and help to simplify life.

The first product released by Witty Works Inc. is the Munchie Mug – a spill resistant snack cup for children 10 months and older that is innovative in both concept and design. The idea was originally born in 2004 by the company’s President Phil., a precision machinist by trade, dedicated inventor, and most importantly, a Grandfather. With the help of Mike (also a grandfather), a talented engineer and close family friend, and Phil’s four children and their families, Munchie Mug went through lots of testing - and several rebirths – to become the product it is today.

With the goal of child safety in mind and a dedication to American Manufacturing, it is our hope that the Munchie Mug will set new standards for children’s products. We believe that the Munchie Mug is superior in function and design to other products of similar use. And in a day and age when product recalls are commonplace, we have made the effort to guarantee that our product is constructed with only FDA food grade approved materials. It is very important to us that the Munchie Mug is both environmentally and economically friendly. Purchasing a Munchie Mug is making a decision to create a better world for ourselves and our children."



Here is information about Munchie Mug :

"Product Information:

The Mug:

Munchie Mug is 100% proudly made in America with safety in mind. Made of tough, durable, and recyclable No. 5 polypropylene from American suppliers, the plastic and color additives are approved for direct food contact according to FDA 21 CFR, sections 177.1520 and 170.39. Munchie Mug comes with a 16 oz. plastic jar that effectively holds 10 oz. of dry foodstuffs and is suitable for children 10 months and older. The unique patent pending lid screws on tight, assuring that it stays on and the food stays in.

The Munchie Mug has been field tested for over a year, and has held up well to the satisfaction of its users (see testimonials). The tough, durable, fabric will undergo wear typical of fabrics, but this will not impair the function of the Munchie Mug (see FAQ’s page).

How it is used:

Unscrew the lid and put in the snack. Cloth opening actually remains closed at all times, that is, until the child wants a snack. When hungry, the child easily and comfortably puts their entire hand through the soft non-scratchy opening and grabs the snack. Then the hand is freely withdrawn through the opening with the hand holding the snack. When the hand is removed, the cloth opening closes by itself. A solid stay fresh lid is also supplied in order to keep the snack fresh when the Mug is not in use.

Care and maintenance:

(cleaning)

Please clean your Mug before the first usage. All parts are dishwasher safe and may be cleaned using the top rack (do not put the parts on the bottom rack) of a dishwasher.

(drying)

The cloth holds moisture after washing. To dry it, press against both sides of the fabric at the same time with 2 pieces of dry cloth or paper towels. Blot a few times and the fabric should be dry.

(removing the patented threaded lid)

The Munchie Mug features a screw on top that makes it very difficult for children to open. Because of this locking feature of the threads, the easiest way to open the Mug is to insert the four fingers of your left hand into the top of the mug while grasping the outside with your thumb. Holding the jar in your right hand (as shown in the accompanying photo), turn the lid clockwise in the direction the thumb is pointing to easily open the mug. It is not necessary to overly tighten the lid."


Here are the Features :

  • "Secure Screw-On Top with Easy Grip Handle
  • Soft fabric closure for sensitive little hands
  • Easy to clean: Top Rack Dishwasher Safe
  • Great for healthy snacking: Cereals, dried fruits, crackers, etc.
  • Additional stay-fresh lid included for keeping snacks fresh when mug is not in use
  • Economically friendly: Made in the United States of America
  • Child friendly: Made of all FDA food grade compliant materials
  • Environmentally friendly: Made of 100% recyclable materials & eliminates waste created by plastic snack baggies that are used once and thrown away. Use the Munchie Mug, again, again, and again!!!"


We took the Munchie Mug on a shopping trip the other day and she was so excited. Every time she took something out of the mug SHE wanted to get it. I really like Munchie Mug. Anybody with children would really enjoy having this. I think this would be good for at least 10 and under. Older children could use it also. I even use it some. It is so handy. You just reach your hand in and grab the snack and when you pull your hand out it closes back up. It is GREAT!


Now the good news for you is that you can win one now! Munchie Mug has offered a PI of Products agent a Munchie Mug of color of their choice.
