A huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by my booth in Glenview this past weekend. I had so much fun seeing everyone, chatting with a bunch of pottery fans & watching a LOT of pottery go off to their new homes! We had amazing weather both days… especially under my shade tree with a nice cooling breeze!!!

And not only was Cory a great host for the pottery tour weekend… but I also came home with two of her plates that I bought to add to my Cory McCrory Collection!!! And, the artists all got a loaf of homemade sourdough bread as a lovely parting gift… and I “might” have come home with three… allegedly…

SPECIAL THANKS to everyone who came out to Sandwich this past weekend for the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR! We had a great time at Stop #6… selling pots, chatting with pottery fans & hanging out with some of my talented pottery friends… Cory, Kenyon, Lindsey, Natalie, Deana & Tanvvi! Always fun to share my pottery passion with like-minded pottery peeps!

And huge THANKS to Cory McCrory who was the best host ever! She hosted & welcomed everyone to her home-studio for the Tour. Even her family pitched in to make the event smooth for everyone. So special thanks to John, Aiden & Rory too!!!
