Click here to get to my Facebook page to check it out quickly!!!

Happy December Online Sale!!!
To “claim” any of the mugs or holiday ornaments, you need to go to my pottery Facebook page and comment on the piece you want to “claim” it. Click here to get there quickly!!!

So here’s the “shopping list” of pieces that I’m offering up for my one-time
“Happy December Online Sale.”

DO NOT use this list to try and purchase any of these mugs or ornaments.
At 7:00pm Central time tonight, I will post the same pieces on my Facebook page.

We’re doing a first come, first served, old-school style “sale.” Keeping it simple.
The first person to “claim” the piece by leaving a Facebook Comment on the photo gets it.
NOT a Comment on the entire photo album, but each individual piece.
NOT by a Comment on this blog post.

So use these photos as a “sneak peek”… to create your “Wish List”…
and then watch for the official launch of the Sale on my Facebook Page at 7:00pm tonight!!!

So here’s the plan for later today… we’re going old-school on this one.
I’m currently taking photos of the chosen pieces. I’m thinking 12 mugs and 12 wheelthrown ornaments. When I get the photos ready, I will post them all on my blog ahead of time so you can see what’s coming up. And then I’ll post the photos again here on Facebook at 7:00pm Central time. The Facebook photo album will be the “official” sale page. First come, first served… and we’ll go by the first to comment on each photo – NOT the entire photo album post. So you can scroll through, see if anyone beat you to it, and if not, tell me you want it. And then I’ll confirm and we can work out the details later! So get ready… and keep checking my blog for the preview photos. And then back here at 7:00pm Central time. Good luck!!!

Happy December!
And to celebrate the first day of the last month, I think it’s time for a little Facebook offering. Many of you outside the Chicago area have asked if I sell work online. Generally the answer has unfortunately been “no”… I just don’t like to pack & ship pottery, and I prefer to see my customers face-to-face as they touch & feel their new purchases.

But that may change later today?!
Stay tuned on my Facebook pottery page… for a one-time online offering!
And here’s a little hint of the fun to come later today….

Only a half hour until the doors open again for Day Two of my Holiday Home Show. And I’m hoping for another great day like yesterday. I’ve refilled, replenished & rearranged so there’s plenty of great gift ideas still on the shelves. We’re open from 10:00am-6:00pm today. If you need address info, just let me know!

Special thanks to everyone who made it over today for my Holiday Home Show.
It was “crazy-crowded-fun” those first few hours!!! Whew. I’m still working on fixing everything up so I’m ready for another big day tomorrow! Replenishing. Restocking. Ready for Day Two!!! C’mon over…

Three minutes to 10:00am…
and the first customers are already buzzing the doorbell!!!
I love my customers. So loyal. So supportive. So much fun!!!
Let the fun begin…

Besides all the mugs, there will also be hundreds & hundreds of holiday ornaments at the Holiday Home Show. Come see all twelve month’s worth of the Holiday Ornament Challenge. As well as this “curtain” of wheelthrown & soda-fired ornaments.
