We’re just a day a way form the start of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!! I’ve been working so hard getting everything ready for this weekend. I can’t wait to have a bunch of friends, customers & pottery lovers stopping by my place for some holiday fun. Whether you’re doing some holiday shopping for friends… or for yourself… or just coming to hang-out on my sofa… we’re open both days from 10:00-6:00pm. I hope you can make it… and bring a bunch of friends!!!

We’re just four days away from MY HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!! I’m still getting ready, prepping, pricing & packing the shelves with a LOT of pottery. Yes, I actually install my art fair shelving all around my condo!!! My place gets a little crowded with a LOT to see… so be forewarned… there will be a LOT of visual over-stimulation!!!

Just a week away… my biggest pottery sale of the year!!! With pottery in every room of my condo, there is plenty for everyone… and the perfect chance to start your holiday shopping!!! All decorated for Christmas, food & drink in the kitchen… and the “Tired of Shlepping Sale” on the back porch! Mark your calendars for next Saturday & Sunday!!!

Hard to believe that it’s already November… and more importantly, that my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW is just a couple weeks away!!! Be sure to mark your calendars, start making your holiday shopping list & bring some friends to my place!!! I guarantee there’s a lot to see… I’m not kidding… A LOT!!!

Another “art fair trade”… this time with one of my booth neighbors! Sandy has been next to me for a couple years, and he makes wood turned kitchen utensils like pizza cutters, wine stoppers & ice cream scoops. But it was these sweet little wooden bowls that caught my eye… and came home with me when our “trade” went down at ART IN THE BARN.

One of the best things about having talented friends… is the ever-popular art fair trades! They don’t always work out… but this time it sure did!! As I traded some pottery with my friend Cheryl Holz for this sweet little multi-media collage piece. That’s gonna look great on my celery-green dining room wall! Thanks Cheryl!!!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Barrington for ART IN THE BARN this weekend! It was so much for to see so many friendly faces & pottery lovers… all eager to add some handmade pottery to their collection! So good to see everyone… thanks for helping us celebrate the 50th Anniversary of ART IN THE BARN. Personally… I was celebrating my 18th year there always in the same double booth in the Lower Barn… and already looking forward to my 19th!!!

Creepy Clowns… the newest member of THE GHOULS COLLECTION. It’s a Limited Edition of forty… and when they’re gone, they’re gone!!! They’re all very similar, but each on has a different color combo & personality. It will be great fun to see how people analyze & pick their favorite this weekend at ART IN THE BARN!

The newest addition to THE GHOULS COLLECTION…
limited edition Creepy Clowns!!!

Coming out of the kiln… not so creepy, I think they’re pretty cute.
Vibrant colors with a smirky-toothy grin… half with hats, and half with flowers “squirting” water!! All coming out for ART IN THE BARN this weekend in Barrington!

Sure, I coulda done this over the past week or so… but it’s always “so much more fun” to be prepping, pricing & packing pots on the day when I should out in Barrington setting up already!!! Well, at least this large batch of new hybrid mugs will be coming with me this weekend to ART IN THE BARN!!!
