One of my favorite sets of dinner plates… gently drying in the dish drainer. So good to see that my pottery is actually getting used out there! Too often people think that handmade pottery is too “fragile” to use… but it’s NOT!!! It’s meant to be used & loved every day… even run through the dishwasher!

Sadly, I think this is the finally blossom off my dahlia plant. You can tell by the number of posts I’ve done about these dahlias, that I’m kind of enamored by them. I love how the petals start yellow and turn to this coral red color as they mature. It was my first summer growing dahlias… methinks I need to plant more colors & more varieties next summer!!! More is more!!!

Working on another batch of wheelthrown Christmas ornaments… throwing off-the-hump again. Waiting for these to dry-up just a bit before I stamp some patterns on them.

Another batch of textured fortune cookies drying in my studio!

We’re combining pottery & sugary treats!
Two of my favorite things!!!
