So I’m pretty excited to share this with you guys! It’s been a long time coming, lots of work behind the scenes, but it’s finally ready to make it’s big debut! A few months ago my fabulous mom and I decided to start a business together! You see, she is an amazing artist, and always making gorgeous paintings and installations for her clients, lots of different kinds of ceramics and of course things for me so I can hang beautiful art on my walls. But a few months ago we decided that she totally should make handmade ceramics that can be used for food styling and photography. Why? Because it’s always so much fun to have great props that make the food look ah-mazing! So that’s what we did. She has been working on this first set of ceramics for the past few months and I’m so excited to launch the store today! It’s called Fifty One and a Half
It’s called Fifty One and a Half because well, that’s how old she was when we started this a few months ago!!
And, here’s the best part. Not only are you getting handmade ceramics, made with loads of love, but no two pieces are the same! So you’ll have a totally unique piece!
And let’s just talk about how gorgeous all these images are?!? Since we are keeping things in the family for this new venture, my bestest friend and wonderfully talented photographer, Matt Armendariz, (also from Matt Bites) did all the stunning photos for the site!
So go ahead and check it out!!
I can’t wait to hear what you guys think and hope to see some of these pieces popping up around the web. I’m so thrilled to be starting a business with my mom 🙂
Oh my gosh, beautiful!
I will be a shopper, for sure!
Gorgeous! Congrats to you and your Mom, both of you are so talented!

Gorgeousness!! Love the forms and colors. Yay!!
My father in law is a potter who makes lots of ceramic plates, mugs, pitchers, vases, etc. I went to a pottery fair with their family, expecting to be bored out of my mind, and after about 10 minutes I was ready to drop 250$ on pottery. I loved it! I didn’t spend all that money, thankfully, but since then I’ve been more and more excited about buying handmade pottery and ceramics! I’m going to have to go take a look at your mom’s stuff! 🙂
Gaby, these are gorgeous. Good luck and Great SUCCESS to you and your mom – just beautiful!
So beautiful!!
Can’t wait to order some of these unique pieces, there so pretty. Congratulations on starting this adventure with your mom. A very talented family.
Hi Gaby! Does your mom sell her watercolors? If so, where can I see them?
Thank you,
