Fresh from the kiln! A whole new collection of bowls in my favorite new glaze color! Still not sure what to name it? But I am LOVING how it breaks on the stamps & pools in all the right places. Plus, it’s different on different clay bodies… bluer on B-clay & greener on stoneware! Lots of new bowls for this weekend’s BOWLS & BUTTONS holiday home show!















Another dinosaur arrived in the mail!!! So excited to now have TWO of Brett Kern’s annual dinosaur ornaments for my tree… adding to the all-handmade vibe of my tree!!! Check him out Brett Kern Ceramics! I’m two-for-two… already can’t wait to see next year’s dino!!!

One last kiln to unload before this weekend’s pottery sale!
Just in time for my SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!
C’mon by!!!


Just another stamped platter ready for this weekend’s pottery sale…
perfect in a bright holiday green!!! Just looking for some Christmas cookies on top!!!



Just a quick reminder that this weekend is BOWLS & BUTTONS… my Second Holiday Home Show. Perfect for all your holiday shopping with pottery in every room of my Christmas decorated condo!!! Plus food & drink in the kitchen & the back porch is my “Tired of Shlepping Sale”. Big discounts on lots of pots!!!
As an added bonus, my talented friend Rhonda Gurgone will be at my place too with beautiful jewelry she makes out of vintage buttons. So unique… and the perfect gift for that special someone… or yourself!!!
Stop on by Saturday & Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm.
Come with your holiday gift list to crank it out… and bring a friend or five!!!

Looks like Tracy’s festive display has grown with new additions to her “forest” of ceramic Christmas trees. A sweet grouping for a cold Winter’s night. You can add-on or start your own “forest” of trees this weekend at my place!!!

And if there are some left after this weekend’s SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW, I might try to pull together a quickie online sale here on my Facebook page either Monday or Tuesday?! Fingers crossed… more to come…

Don’t forget the happy little things! Like handmade pottery & jewelry for all of your holiday gifts! Here’s a quick preview of some beautiful jewelry made by my friend Rhonda Gurgone… who will be my Guest Artist this weekend at my condo. All made with antique buttons… and she knows the backstory of every vintage button! So come on by this weekend to do some holiday shopping… pottery & jewelry for everyone!!!
