This is a text message from my friend Mary Foster…

“Hi Gary, hope you’re doing well! I was at a neighborhood gathering this afternoon and a woman told me she had just redone her bathroom. She designed it around a wall pocket vase she bought from you at ART IN THE GARDEN a couple of years ago. I thought you might enjoy seeing the pics!”

And Mary was right… I LOVED seeing the pics.
The bathroom is gorgeous… and I’m oddly “honored” that it all started with
just one of my little ol’ wall pocket vases!

One last view… of one last beautiful autumn day!

So many leaves are on the ground. So many colors. So many textures.
I love Fall… I just don’t like that it ends too soon!!

Okay I tried… I really did. But my plan of working all day setting up my Home Show got totally sidelined by my bike & some stunning weather!!! Today we almost hit 70-degrees & sunny… while tomorrow the temps are supposed to drop more than 20-degrees!!! So this might have been our last chance for sleeveless bike riding through gorgeous Fall colors!!! So I seized the moment!!!

Looks like Matthew is supporting his favorite team… and going GREEN ON GREEN!!!
Healthy greens in a stamped & soda-fired bowl.

Okay, as someone us not a fan of glazing… a little TV diversion was called for.
Luckily, season two of the “challenge “ is now streaming!

#IYKYK… if you know you know!

It’s gonna be a late Friday night of glazing… just trying to squeeze in
a couple last-minute firings before next weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW.

I was “supposed to be” working all day trying set-up & get ready for next weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. But strangely, the weather was amazing & my day may have taken a brief detour?! Allegedly…

The snow is gone, and the warmer temperatures are back… at least for a couple days! And I’ll take it!!! Not a lot of clouds today. Just some “confused” contrails criss-crossing the sky!

The holiday lights are now “illuminated” with assorted colored slips. Some multicolored, some limited color assortments. Just trying to get them all ready for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… always the weekend before Thanksgiving!

Saturday, November 22nd & Sunday, November 23rd. 10:00am-6:00pm.
Mark your calendars!!!
