A very special THANK YOU to those of you who made it to MY HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this past weekend. I tried my best to pull-out all of the stops in terms of safety protocols, required face masks, limited access, lower capacity, hand sanitizer, single-serving snacks and so much more!

If you would still like to stop by MY HOLIDAY HOME SHOW, you can still book an appointment on my website for tonight, Tuesday & Wednesday. After Thanksgiving, there will be even more online opportunities to do some pottery shopping for the holidays. No worries… together we can make it happen!
