One of our favorite vacation treats is finding local artists’ galleries and studios. This trip I am on the hunt for little bowls. Ice cream should always be eaten in a little bowl as far as I am concerned!

We found a Maine potters cooperative shop in Portland, and I bought four little bowls including the two above. Made by a potter in Farmingdale, Maine, they will perfectly hold a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. After this first use, they will be available for other flavors, too.

I believe you can never have too many bowls of all sizes. It seems whenever I reach for one it is missing. I don’t like to lay blame, but there does seem to be a direct correlation between my grandson’s pop-in visits and my diminishing bowl inventory.
