Look what arrived in my mail!!! The poster for the ST. CROIX VALLEY POTTERY TOUR… already on my calendar! Always a fun weekend of pottery, shopping, adding to collections & visiting with the friends & potters. Looks like there’s 67 potters this year… so much talent & so many pots to squeeze into one weekend! Can’t wait to head up north for my little pottery addiction! And you should too…

Still working on the “glamorous” backside of tonight’s online sale. Plenty of photographs, measurements, determining volume, photoshopping & pricing. All of which has to happen in advance of the sale going live. It’s not just pulling pots off a shelf and voile’… a sale!!! So I’m still at it… all afternoon as the deadline draws near. Just 90 more minutes until it’s go-time!!! Fingers crossed.

It was great to see everyone… and to fulfill some holiday shopping lists. Lots of “BOWLS & BUTTONS” for everyone… and a lot more pottery than just bowls!!! Wishing everyone a safe & happy holiday season! Thank you again!
