Art Festival Nov 2 – 3, in Sierra Madre
Hi friends,
I am writing for several reasons:
1st…to say thank you for coming out to say hello in Claremont last weekend, at Village Venture.
I felt great warmth from all the friendly faces and encouraging smiles, for which I am very grateful!
2nd…If you’re up for it, we have another wonderful art event this weekend, Nov 2 & 3, at
Creative Arts Group for their 10th Annual Art Festival. 10am – 5pm both days.
108 N Baldwin Ave, Sierra Madre.
I’m lucky enough to be joining this talented community of artists, showing a wide variety of
one-of-a-kind art pieces including ceramics, wall art, jewelry and more.
Shop for wonderful gifts and browse all the unique creations.
We might even be leaning into a bit of Fall weather this weekend too! What fun 🙂
Finally, I want to mention that Ramona Paloma still has a large collection for sale in the lovely, artful Pop-Up in Santa Barbara at La Cumbre Plaza, 121 S. Hope Ave. Crimson Holiday – open daily in the old J Crew, across from Chico’s.
And finally, finally…yes, we’re on Etsy but at this time of year we’re having lots of in-person events and
adding to the inventory at our retail stores, so the Etsy shop sits lonely and unloved for the time being.
Happy Autumn everyone!
I hope you find yourselves having a cozy moment here and there in the coming months!
all the best to you and yours, Soozee

All things must change…
As Spring will tell us…all things must change.
Yes that’s a bit dramatic for us, but we have some huge changes coming to our sweet little tile business, Ramona Paloma Tile.
As you probably know, we are a partnership of Soozee and Tracy. We wear all the hats…lab tech, materials shopper, slab roller, tile-maker, tile-glazer, designer, marketing director, shipping manager, etc. Well, we are becoming a solo endeavor…for now. The news is bitter-sweet. Tracy and her family are moving to New Mexico later in the year. She will be doing all kinds of interesting things in a beautiful place. These activities will keep her occupied for a while, which means she will be taking a pause from our tile-making. Time will tell us what her artistic expression will look like in the future.
In the meantime, Soozee will continue creating for Ramona Paloma Tile.
We will not be participating in the usual art festivals in the near future, as we transition. We will not be taking part in the lovely Wistaria Festival, this Sunday, Mar 27 in Sierra Madre. Please pop in to the festival though, 9:00am – 5:00pm. It looks like it will be a lovely day and the Wistaria vine is in full bloom. We have a nice collection of tile at Leonora Moss in downtown Sierra Madre, if you happen to be in the neighborhood for the festival.
We will be keeping our current shops bursting with tile, and plan to expand our Etsy collection during the months of April and May. Soozee is still busy taking orders via email at RamonaPaloma.Tile@gmail.com , (or use the contact page on our website) for both our current designs as well as custom tile. If you want to see more tile, please take a peek at the photos on our Facebook page, or Instagram for ideas. We offer front porch tile pickup in Sierra Madre too 🙂
Tracy and Soozee have created Ramona Paloma through a long and strong friendship. Believe us when we say how sad we are to be discontinuing our daily working relationship, but as many of you know who have met us, we will always be a team in our hearts.
We also view this change as an artistic opportunity, both together and individually. Ain’t life grand!
Raise your glasses…Cheers to you! Cheers to all the love, support, and laughs we shared with you, our tile friends, over these 12 years. We are so deeply grateful for the experiences!!! Cheers to new beginnings! Long live Ramona Paloma Tile Studios!
xoxo
Soozee and Tracy
