The second day of my Holiday Home Show has come to an end.
Another successful show!!! Thanks to everyone who stopped by…
as we’re done & ready to “roll up the rug.” Figuratively of course.

Day One of the HOLIDAY HOME SHOW done!
Thanks to everyone who braved the rainy-slushy-sleety weather today. Tonight I’ll be restocking, adding more to the “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” shelves and washing all of the mugs after going through a lot of hot apple cider today. Remember, we do it all again tomorrow from 10:00am-6:00pm. Giddy-up!

Prepping, cleaning & pricing… getting ready for this weekend’s Holiday Home Show.
Starting the weekend with well over a hundred mugs on the shelves!!!
Now THAT’s a lot of mugs!!!

Just one week away…
and still a LOT of things to get ready for this year’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW.

Finishing up some last-minute pots, setting up shelves, hanging things on the wall,
and already decorating for Christmas! Mark your calendars for next Saturday & Sunday
to swing by my place to kick-off your holiday shopping!

So it’s been a crazy run of fun things for the past month or so! October was GREAT!!!
What with Great America Fright Fest, playing on the farm, firing a soda kiln, beautiful weather,  a week in New York City, a weekend in Dallas… oh yeah, and another full IRONMAN!!! Busy-busy. And so many photos & stories to share.

But now I’m home and ready to re-focus…
suddenly realizing my Holiday Home Show is just nine days away!!! YIKES!!!
Gotta get my postcards out and quick!!!

So mark your calendars for the weekend before Thanksgiving!!!
Saturday, November 18th & Sunday, November 19th from 10:00am-6:00pm each day.

HUGE THANKS to all of my wonderful friends, family & customers who came out to Barrington this weekend in the heatwave. None of us would expect to be sweating like that during the first weekend of Fall. Regardless of the heat… it’s always fun to get a ribbon at the art fair. And if I were to “choose” which ribbon I would want… it’s THIS ONE!!! It’s for being one of the Top Ten Seller’s at last year’s ART IN THE BARN. So this is the ribbon that really matters!!! And I hope we get another one next year to prove that we can sell pottery even during a hot spell.

My niece Taylor came out to help at ART IN THE BARN both days.
She’s a great booth assistant, and apparently a blossoming “marketing director” in the making… with her own Instagram collage post to her friends & followers.
Always thinking, always helping.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to ART IN THE BARN this weekend.
Taking on the heatwave to support your favorite artists. I know many of us felt like these Zombies after two days in the sultry-steamy-sweaty weather. But it was so much fun to see everyone again. So many good customers, artist friends, family and Zombie Hunters!!!

If you’re off to a good start on your own Ghouls Collection,
I’d love to see a photo of them when you bring them out for the season!
Shoot me an e-mail with your photos – gary@firewhenreadypottery.com. Thanks!
