Such a joy to finally see the sun again this morning. Sure it was cold… about 27-degrees when I started out… but there have been far too many dark gray & dreary days in a row. I just had to get out on my bike for a beautiful sunrise. Plus, I found a new flag that someone put out by the lake that really made me SMILE!!!

So it seems as though I might have a little Christmas Elf wreaking sweet havoc in my world?! It started with some goodies randomly appearing on my Teacher Shelf at Lillstreet. And then more sweet treats appeared at my condo this weekend!!! You know I love a good OREO & a good Scavenger Hunt. I’m not quite sure who the Elf is… but they obviously know me too well… and I’ve narrowed it down to two Elfish suspects!!!

Here’s Allison & Michael possibly having a little “too much fun” with their new holiday pottery items from my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!! Not that there is such a thing as “too much fun!” HA!!! Thanks for sharing… thanks for playing!!!

A huge & festive THANK YOU to everyone who made it to my annual HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend! Two days of holiday fun & lots of pottery heading out for the holidays. Lots of gifts, lots of presents!!! So thanks again for making the weekend a huge success… you guys rocked it!!!

And for those that missed it, you’ll have another chance to join in the “pottery-fun” with my SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW on December 14th & 15th. Mark your calendars & bring a friend!

One last reminder… in case you may have “missed” all of my other “hints” about my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend. I’ve been working for weeks to make enough pottery & setting up my condo to have pottery in every room! Food & drink in the kitchen & all decorated for Christmas. And oh, but wait there’s more… my back porch will have my annual “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” with discounted pottery priced to move!!! I hope you can make this weekend… its a great chance to start your holiday shopping! Whether your list has a lot of people on it… or even just yourself!!!

Now THAT’s a lot of stamps!!! Actually, the surface decoration was created with just one of my handmade clay stamps. Pressed into the rim one-by-one, by one, by one, by one… all the way around a couple times! Fresh out of the kiln… again with my new favorite glaze… at least for this week!!! HA!!!

Just showing off more of my new Christmas Mugs!!! Two styles… green trees & red ornaments! Kinda make a perfect holiday pairing! Handmade mugs with my own handmade clay stamps, colored slips & a soda-fired finish. All of these mugs will be making their first appearance this weekend at my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. There’s a limited quantities… so they might go fast!!!

THE BIG CHRISTMAS MUG REVEAL!!! Not big mugs, just a big reveal!!! Especially made for this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. Limited quantities… so mark off your holiday gift list early tomorrow morning!!!

A new platter with a new glaze! Fresh out of the kiln… and I’m LOVING this glaze as it seems to highlight all of the stamped textures & grooved areas so sweetly. Mental note to self… must make more like this!!!
