Bio
Paloma's Nest is the creative work of Caroline Colom Vasquez, an artist and designer living in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas. Paloma's Nest is dedicated to creating modern heirlooms; pieces for the home, and for the heart. Each Paloma’s Nest piece is designed and individually hand-crafted with care, pride, and passion. Ceramic bowls, tiles, and decorative pieces are intended to last for generations, and so they are crafted with the finest natural materials available, including porcelain and clay, wood, paper, and cloth. The inspiration for Paloma’s Nest lies in the purity of the materials used, and the idea that something so simple can be so bold. Caroline strives to create items of meaning and purpose from the materials, while leaving the characteristics true and pure. By adding text to these materials, written ideas, feelings, and daydreams are given a peaceful place to rest. Many pieces in the Paloma’s Nest line are available with custom texts. This gives special meaning for the recipient, and by adding names or dates, it is ensured that the piece will be cherished for years to come. Every Paloma’s Nest piece-no matter the material- is hand cut, free form, with no pattern. This gives each piece its own variation in the size, shape, and layout of the text. Recycled, up-cycled, and biodegradable products are prominent throughout the line, and in the extraordinary gift packaging in which pieces arrive, and the studio is powered 100% by Renewable Wind Energy- minimizing the footprint left behind by the production of these beautiful pieces.

Favorite Materials
clay, porcelain, paper, wood, fabric, words, passion, history, purpose, courage

  9. My favorite part of every day is the few minutes of "me time" I get when I first wake up...whether its while I'm in the shower or after I drop my son off at school. It's always nice to have some time for yourself, even if its just 3 minutes!

  30. Right now, my favorite part of the day is when my 3 month old wakes up in the morning...she will just sit there and smile for the first ten minutes that she is awake. It puts a smile on my face...a great way to start any day.

  31. My one favorite part, not of every day, but Saturday is the early morning when the soft sounds of kid feet pad down the hallway towards our bed. There's lots of cuddling and snuggling and little bit of dozing while the kids happily partake of Saturday morning cartoons just like I did as a kid.

    If I have to choose my favorite part of everyday it would actually be the opposite. When the kids are freshly down in their beds and my hubby and I crash land on the couch for some serious alone time.

  32. Bedtime because I love spending the time with my daughter one on one and talking about our days highlights. It is something I want to continue doing throughout our years.

  37. My favorite part of the day is when I am at the barn with my dog and all my horses and I am just looking out at all the open space. Its a time I can just relax, slow down, and take a look around. I can appreciate my surroundings with the things I love the most.
