Don’t forget this weekend’s fun in Naperville!
The Prairie View Arts Invitational on Friday & Saturday!
Stop by Friday night for champagne, tacos & live music!
Or hang out Saturday with homemade soups, baked goods and raffle prizes!
Either way, there will be plenty of art & artists to make it worth the trip… including me!


My friend Kristen shared a quick pic of her mug collection! Lots of “recognizable” lovelies!
Start your own collection this Friday night & Saturday at the Prairie View Arts Invitational in Naperville!

An early kick-off to my art fair season!!!
Join me this weekend in Naperville for the Prairie View Arts Invitational. A very select group of artists joining together for a very special show. More personal so there’s lots of time to chat with the artists, look at their artwork, and decide what you “need” to take home with you! And don’t forget the champagne & tacos Friday night… and the homemade soup & baked goods on Saturday!

While broken pottery is never a fun thing…
it is always nice to know that people out there are actually using my mugs…
and looking for more!!!
I’ll be at the Prairie View Arts Invitational this coming Friday night & Saturday
with PLENTY of new mugs for everyone!!!

It’s still a bit too chilly for Summer art fairs…
so I’m kicking off my art fair season next weekend at the Prairie View Arts Invitational in Naperville. It will be a fun show for everyone who’s been jonesin’ for an art fair through the dead of Winter… like myself. Mark your calendar for next weekend… Friday night for champagne & tacos, or Saturday with homemade soup & bake sales. Either way, great eats & great art. C’mon by!!!

Also fresh from this week’s soda kiln, a new collection of textured square slab vases… in three sizes!!! With a different texture “picture” on each side of the vase! Perfect for the soon-to-be-here Spring flowers!!! And making their “big debut” next weekend at the Prairie View Arts Invitational in Naperville!






Huge thanks to everyone who came over yesterday for our Mud & Metal Holiday Home Show. Amy and I had so much fun playing with all of you, chatting it up and selling off a few holiday gifts for your friends & loved ones. In case you missed the festivities, here are a few tiny peeks!






One hour till kick-off of the Holiday Home Show. And the very first person to come into my condo singing one of my favorite Christmas carols gets a FREE MUG!!! And it will be a challenge for some… MELE KALIKIMAKA!!! Time to get your tropical holidays on!!!

One last reminder about tomorrow’s Holiday Home Show at my place!
Pottery in every room of my condo, food, drink, cookies, Christmas cheer, Tired Of Shlepping Sale on the back porch, and Amy Taylor with her incredible jewelry in the Dining Room! So much fun and a GREAT way to finish off your holiday shopping… even if it’s with a gift or three for yourself!!!
