Let’s play : Fun Fact Friday💫

Q: How did you become an Artist?

A: I’d like to say it happened by accident, but when I think about it, it happened organically when the time was right.
Keeping in mind my art teacher at school pulled me aside
one day and said “you need to drop art, it’s not for you,
you have no talent.”

Luckily I didn’t let that harsh criticism grow roots,
however sadly I did drop art as a subject.

I’ve always been involved in something arty.
Art and my creative energy has transcended over so
many different spheres in my lifetime.

I’ve always been creative, from a child, you could always
find me building a fairy garden or at my weekly canvass painting classes and weekly ceramic classes.

My favourite pastime was always coloring in with those
lovely thick, bright and bold pencils, or pastels.
I’ve never been a watercolor kinda girl can you tell?
As a teenager I delved into drama and acting, ending up in Grahamstown for 6weeks in my matric year performing
for the arts festival. I loved being on stage.

In my early 20’s I owned a mediterranean inspired restaurant for 4 years - I come from a cooking and baking background.
I then worked in real estate for 14 years which I loved and thrived at. I also worked in the venue hire and events coordinating industry for many years along side my
other day jobs. I hustled hard in my 20’s & 30’s💫

So whether it’s a canvass, a stage, a plate of food or a clay sculpture I’ve always found a way to create, or honour my own artistic, creative calling.

Looking back, I suppose ceramics and living a full time
creative life was always on the cards.
I just needed time to catch up with me.

And perhaps that art teacher was wrong after all.
In life, timing really is everything.

Environmental Announcement

Re package♻️
Re purpose♻️
Re use♻️
Re cycle♻️

Please note that as much as I love beautiful packaging, branded boxes and wonderful first impressions,
I’m also trying to do my part for our environment.

I am just as guilty as the next person of contributing to the harm we are causing our planet, and I’m actively
taking steps to change that.

From now on, I will be reusing boxes, bubble wrap and packaging materials wherever possible, while remaining conscious of XoXoPottery’s carbon footprint.

Please know that every piece is made with an enormous amount of love, care and attention to detail.
I personally wrap, package and box every single order myself, ensuring it arrives safely at your door.

So, to all my wonderful customers, while I take great pride
in beautiful presentation and brand experience,
I have chosen to prioritise sustainability over perfection.

Your box may not be brand new. Your bubble wrap may have protected something before it found its way to you.
The packaging may show signs of a previous journey.

But I hope that’s something we can celebrate.

Because once you’ve unwrapped your XoXoPottery piece
and found the perfect place for it in your home,
the box has already served its purpose.

If you could reuse or recycle the box and its contents once you’re finished with them, it would mean so much to me.

There is still so much of this beautiful world I’d like to see, experience and explore, and I’d like to believe that small, conscious choices made by many people really do make a difference.

What we do every day matters.
How we choose to live matters.
The legacy we leave matters.

With love,
Lexi

Spring is nature’s way of saying Let’s Party.

Spring breathes new life into the world around us.
Spring is the land awakening.

Spring is the time of new beginnings and hopeful journeys.
Spring smells like joy.

Spring is a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can be.

The earth expresses itself and laughs with each
new blooming flower.
Despite any forecast, live like its spring.

Where flowers bloom- so does hope.
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

If, by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Xoxopottery Quotes

29/08/2026

They carry my fingerprints, my love and my emotions🫶🏽
They aren’t just objects to me they are an extension of me. They are my babies, my family and my greatest accomplishments.

My love, my life, and the beautiful reality I get to experience every single day — Xoxopottery🎈
This isn’t just a business. It’s not just an income stream or a job…It’s part of who I am and hugely embedded in my heart and soul.

My business is my love child🫶🏽

I’ve lived a rather colourful career life over the past 25 years —
From drama student…
To owning a restaurant at 21…
To event and venue planning…
To real estate.
But to be honest, I can’t even remember my life before pottery.
Before happiness all day, every day.
Before XoXo.

Today, my business turns 9 years old, and I couldn’t feel prouder or more fulfilled.
What a beautiful, ever-evolving love story.
My greatest love affair.
A love that touches every fibre of my being.

Part of me is confused by how quickly the years have passed and part of me is overwhelmed by how full they’ve been.
Nine years sounds like a long time…
Yet somehow, it feels like I blinked and they passed right under my nose.

These have been the happiest nine years of my life.

This daily love story- Oh baby, It’s SO real!

But here’s the truth:
It hasn’t always been easy.
There have been moments of panic, despair, loss,
pain and very loud declarations of:
“WHAT THE ACTUAL F$&K?!” is happening.

But the love…
The joy…The fulfillment…The happiness…
It’s insurmountable and untouchable.

I would choose this. Every single time.
In every version of my existence.
Because the love I feel for my craft feeds my soul.
It doesn’t feel like work.
It doesn’t feel like a job.
It feels like purpose.
Like my soul has to explore this path.

Nines years later and I still feel incredibly lucky that I get to call this my life🎈
