Looks like another yummy one… a Peoria Pumpkin Pie!!! Homemade pie in a handmade pie dish… the perfect combo!!! As we know everything tastes better in handmade pottery! Thanks for sharing Kristy!!!

Looks like someone was captured making quite a feast!!!
But it’s really the fine mug collection in the background that caught my attention!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!

So Taylor & her Mom came to my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW and purchased one of my square vases… with a different “picture” on each side. Looks like it made a beautiful floral showing on their Thanksgiving dinner table. Thanks for sharing your family holiday with all of us! It looks great.

So yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving with my family… and I made the pumpkin pies. It was the first time I have ever “blind baked” the crust first so it would be nice & flaky… no soggy bottoms. Thanks to my friend, former student & baking show winner Martin Sorge, he “coached” me through the process… crust, crimp, chill, poke, line with foil, fill with dry beans, bake, fill & bake again! And it WORKED!!! Yummy pies with nice crispy bottoms! Thanks Martin!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
Hope you surround yourself with family, friends, food & everything that makes you smile.
Be thankful. Be grateful. Be happy.

And while it was cloudy & gray before the sunrise, it was fun to find another flag that someone has placed at the end of a pier out by the lighthouse. Dark & gloomy… with a splash of piece, love & TIE-DYE!!!

Such an amazing way to start the day. Pastel colors blowing through the city as the waves came crashing in. A chilly start… but now I’m ready for Thanksgiving at my sister’s place for PIE!!!

Early morning studio session of poking holes, carving textures & making stars!!!

While most have fallen… there are still a few leaves hanging on & showing off!!!
