I first fell in love with Convivial Production about a year ago at one my favorite, local shops – Coveted Home. Since then, I’ve picked up the trivets and candle holders for our house and purchased the coffee mugs and a small hexagonal plate as gifts. Right now, I’ve got my eye on the fruit bowl. You could say I’m a bit of super fan.

If you’re unfamiliar with Convivial Production, here’s the scoop. Each piece is handmade, painted or carved here in Kansas City. The owner, Chentrell Stiritz, uses a combination of materials and techniques to craft every item. If you don’t live in the area, you can pick your favorites up on Etsy.

They make lovely housewarming, wedding or even, Mother’s Day gifts. (Or, just buy something for yourself. Clearly, no judgement here.)
