Catch-ALL and Sponsor Giveaway

Contest extended to Monday night!  Contest is closed.
One of my favorite decorating/decluttering tricks is to designate a catch-all in a spot that seems to attract clutter.  Like where keys get tossed, jewelry is taken off, coins collect, etc.  I found this little enamelware bowl at an antique shop awhile ago ($4!).  
We have it on a counter in the kitchen and it traps keys, lip balm, nail clippers, store cards, and anything else until we need them on our way back out the door.

Do you have a catch-all?  Would you like one?  One of my sponsors, Alethia Pottery is giving away 2 catch-all dishes to two lucky readers.   Want to win?  Go to Alethia Pottery's Etsy shop and come back here and tell me what beautiful hand-crafted pottery item is your favorite. For an extra entry, Follow the Clean Mama blog - please put that as an additional entry.  The two winners will get their choice of a mini squared dish or a mini bowl (see that section in Alethia Pottery's shop).  I'll close the contest on Friday Monday night and announce the winner on Saturday Tuesday morning.
This is my favorite mini squared dish - perfect for a catch-all, a spoon rest, a fancy coaster, anything you can think of.
Isn't this mini bowl beautiful?

    I love the blue mug. It looks like it would be a great mug for a nice big hot chocolate or for a soup bowl.

    My favorite(s) are the serving platter and the oil lamp (It's a tie!) But that kids set is really cute *and affordable* too! I'm gonna keep that in mind for baby gifts!
