Just pulling together “a few” more mugs for tomorrow’s PROCRASTINATOR’S POP-UP SHOP in my studio! I’ll have over a hundred mugs there to choose from for those last-minute names still on your holiday shopping list… or yourself! I’ll be in my studio from 10:00am-7:00pm if you want to stop by for a few mugs… the more you buy, the better the holiday deals!

As we’re quickly slipping towards Christmas, I figure there are plenty of last-minute shoppers out there… and everyone on your gift list can use a new handmade mug, right?! So I’ve been pulling together a LOT of my mugs for a quick PROCRASTINATOR’S POP-UP SALE this Thursday in my studio! Shop small. Shop handmade.

Thursday, December 23 from 10:00am-7:00pm.

A very special THANK YOU to everyone who came out to my second Holiday Home Show MUD & METAL this weekend. We had a lot of fun this weekend helping people with their holiday shopping… whether for those on their list… or for themselves!!!

And if you’re local & missed out on the fun, you can still come over to do some holiday shopping if you shoot me an email to set-up a time!

Tomorrow’s the big day! The kick-off of this weekend’s MUD & METAL Holiday Home Show! We’re open Saturday & Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm with plenty of pottery & jewelry for everyone on your holiday gift list. Swing by to do a little holiday shopping, to enjoy some holiday cheer… or to just sit on my comfy sofa to hang out with us for awhile! Remember, we’re staying safe with face masks & social-distancing even if you’re vaccinated!

You know MUGS are my favorite thing to make.
And I’ve made more than “a few”!!!

So I’m restocking the shelves and will again have more than a HUNDRED handmade stamped mugs ready for this weekend’s MUD & METAL Holiday Home Show!
