Blue Witch Ceramics Bank


Let me introduce you to a very unique site called Bluewitchceramics.com.  In December of 2010 I did a review of their French Bull Dog Salt and Pepper Shakers. If you would like to read it please click  here.  Because I enjoyed the first review so well,  I contacted them again to see if they would like to participate in another review.  They kindly agreed and offered to send me an item of my choice to review. But, before I start telling you all about it,  lets back track a little and tell you about their company.  

Bluewitchceramics.com is a family run and owned business,  dedicated to providing hand crafted collectible pieces of art work to their customers.  Art Schuller and sister- in- law Pomm Bunyakhet Madame Pomm) have ran this excellent business since 2007.  Madame Pomm is a gifted artist that puts her creativity and talent into each piece,  along with some help from other talented artists as well.   She started out by making mugs and has expanded to making Salt & Pepper Shakers, Picture Holders, Banks, Key Chains, Ornaments, and Magnets.  The majority of her creative pieces include dogs in all different breeds and colors.  If you are shopping for mugs,  she not only offers a wide variety of dog breeds,  but  also other animals,  aquatic life,  flowers, sports and more. 

If you are a dog lover,  and I am sure there are plenty of you out there,  then this is definitely a site you will want to check out!  I tried to review the Shiatsu Salt and Pepper Shakers,  but they were currently out of stock,  so I then decided upon a bank.  Next,  I had to choose exactly which one to review,  but it was so hard since everything is basically equally as eye catching as the next.  Each piece has it's very own personality, this is because each piece is hand painted.  so no one piece is the same.  They are definitely something that you will not come across in just any old store, which makes them even more unique.

I really liked the Bull Terrior Bank -Tiger Decorated,  but I couldn't resist the BULL DOG BANK RED COLLAR.  My older sister use to always have bull dogs when we were growing up,  and I just always thought they were an interesting breed.  With their short stubby legs and droopy faces how could you resist them!  The Bull Dog Bank arrived in pristine condition.  I immediately noticed all of the detail that was put into this artistic piece of art work. 

The studded red collar definitely sets off this bank and gives it a very unique edge!  The Bull Dog bank makes the perfect size to save up for a little something.  I have been using mine to save up for a coffee each week,  and then once I empty it,  I start saving for another one.  It's kind of like my crazy coffee spending stash! Or,  you could think of your pet and save up for doggie treats or pet bills.

The Bull Dog Bank fits quarters,  nickels,  pennies and dimes,  so no matter what change you have it all fits.   This bank looks perfect sitting on my mantle and definitely gets everyone talking.  I think they would make a great gift for any dog lover,  or one of those people that seem to have everything. It's hard not to find a breed you don't like,  as they offer well over fifty breeds to choose from!  Be sure to check out their site and find an item you will fall in love with too!

BUY IT: You can purchase a Bull Dog Bank Red Collar for $44.95, which is a great deal considering all of the hard work and detail put into this amazing product.

Blue Q

Blue Q is a great site that offers a wide variety of novelty products that are more than just the ordinary. Their products are fun,  unique,  entertaining,  enjoyable,  not to mention interesting!  Blue Q is a company that is located in Pittsfield Massachusetts and offers more than four hundred products.  Mith and Seth who are brothers are the actual owners of Blue Q.  They offer fun brands at very reasonable prices.  A lot of their products have fun,  quirky sayings or titles that make them extra special and unique.  If you have a good sense of humor then this is definitely the store for you!  I was stuck on their site for about an hour looking around at all their products. 

I chose to review the "Saving for a Rich Husband, Tin Bank.  I was able to chose from a variety of over 20 different tin banks,  but that one was my favorite!  Some of my other favorites say:
"Savin up for a Party",  "Savin up for a little Baby",   and "Savin up for Plastic Surgery".   Matter of fact,  i have already started saving up!  The tin banks are just the right size,  they measure 3.5"x4.5".  On the top it reads"Save Big" and has a opening to drop coins in.  I am sure women across the globe can appreciate this Tin bank...i sure do!  You may be wondering,  "why do i have to save for a RICH husband",  but the answer is you need to buy the things to make yourself attractive to get the rich husband!  The tin bank has a opening at the bottom in case you need to empty out your stash.  Best of all this product only costs $7.99,  now thats a great gift for less than ten bucks!

Blue Q also sent me one of their boxes of teas to review.  The tea box reads"BE A BETTER PARENT" and contains 16 individually wrapped certified organic tea bags.  Tea with a saying...now thats cute!  This tea is specially blended with mint and citrus to help alleviate your daily stress.  They offer 13 varieties of tea to choose from and they all come with a cute saying on the box.  They are reasonably priced for only $10.00 each.  I had a cup of the hot tea last night and it totally relaxed me and tasted great at the same time! 

Blue Q also sells items such as:  Gum,  Hand Sanitizers,  Bags,  and Bath and Body Products,  just to name a few!  I did a search on their site to find the nearest retailer that sells their products and to my surprise there was one very near to where i am located.  I actually was thrilled when i found out one of my favorite local stores sells their products.  I love this store in Downtown Sacramento called Evangeline's,  which is a 3 story costume mansion that sells products such as theirs so i was so happy when i found out they sell Blue Q products!  I know what i'll be looking for next time i visit their store! 

*Disclosure-  Blue Q kindly sent me a couple of their products to possibly review.  In no way did this alter my opinion of their products.  All of my opinions are one hundred percent honest and true.*
