We’re all set up and ready to go. The double-booth is full of pots, mugs, Ghouls and more!!! The weather is perfect… so come out to play with us in Barrington today or tomorrow from 10:00am-5:00pm.

AndI’ve already hung my red ribbon.
Yep, this is the REAL ribbon that I want to get most of the entire summer.
It’s the “Top 10 Best Seller Award” from last year at The Barn. Hoping to “earn” another one this year… the ribbon that means the most!

They were still toasty last night coming out of the kiln…
and this morning three Black Cats have already found good homes!
And we’ve only been open for about 10 minutes!!!

Last minute assembly as we’re getting ever closer to ART IN THE BARN. So while we’re packing, pricing & setting up today, these wooden jewelry boxes will hopefully be drying. Gotta keep the tiles in place so I can sell “something new” at The Barn this weekend.

Not to jinx myself any more, but here’s a sneak peek
of the new addition to the Ghouls Collection for this year. The Black Cat.

Now if I can just get them out of the kiln soon enough?!
And if everything fired okay, there will be two dozen of them at The Barn.
That’s it… and when they’re gone, they’re gone!

Fresh from the kiln… I unloaded my soda kiln last night and got a lot of sweet pieces out of it. After a slightly anxiety-ridden firing, all turned out well. So now these two, and almost 50 more new mugs from this firing will all be headed to ART IN THE BARN this weekend!!! Come on out to Barrington!!!

Come join us this weekend in Barrington for ART IN THE BARN.
It’s my largest outdoor fair of the year!

By “outdoor” I mean open air yet still protected as we’re in the Lower Barn E4 & E6 as usual. And by “largest” I mean that I have a double booth space in Barrington. Larger booth means larger pottery selection!!! Whoo-hooo… see you this weekend!!!
