There are real estate agents, and then there are relationship builders.
This month on the blog, we’re honored to feature Sandra Juliano, whose work goes far beyond transactions. With heart, integrity, and more than two decades of experience, she reminds us that home is never just about walls, it’s about the life lived inside them.
At Clover, we believe the same. Home is where meaning, memories, and connection take root.

A few more moments from Cozy & Crafted: there are so many beautiful details to share.
From warm glows to little handcrafted touches, this night was full of magic, and we love reliving it with you.

On this Small Business Saturday, we’re reflecting on what matters most to us at Clover & Clay: sourcing with intention, celebrating independent artisans, and supporting small businesses that make our community feel like home.

We choose our products with care: handmade, heartfelt, and crafted by people whose stories inspire us. When you shop small, you’re not just checking off a list, you’re lifting up real makers, neighbors, and dreamers.

We’d love for you to visit our website and shop small this season. And join us in person on December 10 for A Very Merry Pairing at Redding Wines & Spirits, another wonderful small business in town. Let’s toast to community, craftsmanship, and keeping it local. 🤍

Gifting doesn’t have to be stressful, and at Clover & Clay, it never is.
Our website is filled with beautiful finds, each one ready to be wrapped in our signature style and sent off with care. But when you need a bit more direction; something custom, personal, and deeply thoughtful - that’s where our curated gifting truly shines.
You share a little: your list of recipients, their interests or your inspiration, your budget and quantities. And then we take it from there.
We mindfully source and shop for every item.
We lean on our trusted partners for the perfect wines, spirits, and breads to complement each gift. We add in local favorites: coffees, honey, small-batch treats. The kinds of touches that make a gift feel like it was made just for them.
We communicate and refine until it feels just right, and wrap everything with intention.
We offer local delivery and shipping, so your thoughtfulness can travel wherever it needs to go.
The result? Gifts people truly love to receive. A reflection of the relationships you’re celebrating.
From teachers to clients to family and friends… we’re here to make gifting the most delightful part of your season. Let us do the work, so you can enjoy the giving.

Cozy & Crafted Signature Cocktail Recipe
Remembering a little moment of magic from the night: the sparkling sip built around those jewel-bright holiday ice cubes everyone kept asking about.

These cubes are tiny still-lifes, little ornaments tucked into frost. And the best part? They’re wonderfully simple to make.

In each square ice mold:
• A slice of orange
• A sprig of rosemary
• A star of anise
• A few frozen cranberries
• A cinnamon stick
• Fill with cranberry juice

Freeze for at least 24 hours, release a cube into a glass, and pour chilled prosecco over top. It blooms instantly; holiday magic, swirling.

A Cozy Tip:
If you’re making these ahead, wrap each frozen cube individually in plastic wrap. It keeps every flavor bright and every shape picture-perfect until it’s time to pour.

Mocktail Moment:
For a family-friendly version, top your cube with ginger ale or club soda. Same shimmer, same beauty, zero proof.

Simple. Beautiful. An effortless way to elevate your holiday hosting.
Cheers to sparkling moments ahead 🥂
