Where in NC can I find...

a place like Swoozies?  I'm wishing I had thought about this before they went out of business, but I didn't.  Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can have a custom plate made similar to this one...

    I'm not much help, but if you are at all artistically inclined you could find one of those "paint your own pottery" places, where you pick out an unfinished piece of pottery and paint/decorate it yourself.  For example:

    http://madplatterpottery.com/

    There are a ton of new little boutique stores at the Friendly Center.  I haven't been in all of them, but noticed them when I was getting my invitations from Hallmark.  You can always check those palces out.

    I didn't know Swoozies went out of business! Anyway, you can post an alchemy request on Etsy. I've never done it but a lot of the ladies have had good results with them in the past.

    Their website kind of sucks but this place is in Greenville:

    I know you're not near there, I'm trying to think of somewhere else closer to the triad.

    Beth--the first place I thought about was Mad Platter, but there is NO way I can make my own!  I've been there before and loved it, but I am not good at it at all!

    Mary--thanks for the recommendation....I will check into it.  It doesn't really have to be around here, I'm willing to go whereever (well anywhere in NC) to get it.

    I doubt they have anything like that, but Carolina Silver Company has some cutesy stuff like Swoozie's used to have.  There's one in the Falls Village shopping center in Raleigh and one in Cary.  I've never been to this place, but someone got me a gift from Salutations once.  It's a cute stationery store in the Meadowmont shopping center off Hwy 54 in Chapel Hill.
