Enjoying the heat of the oven yesterday as I baked a batch of brownies to share with friends!
I figured a dinner party with friends can always use some homemade brownies…
and the hostess “might just” get to keep the bowl too!!!

It’s more than a little chilly here in Chicago. And it looks like Kim is working on something warm & yummy in her kitchen. Plenty of squash & pottery for everyone!!!

Enjoying some leftover Christmas candy today! Minty fun while trying to pack away my Christmas decorations. Good thing they melt in your mouth, not in your hands!

Christmas may be over…
but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate a “minty Saturday,” right???
Trying to clean & pack up some of the Holiday Home Show stuff.
But always looking for a little sweet pick-me-up treat while cleaning!!!

Fresh from the kiln! A whole new collection of bowls in my favorite new glaze color! Still not sure what to name it? But I am LOVING how it breaks on the stamps & pools in all the right places. Plus, it’s different on different clay bodies… bluer on B-clay & greener on stoneware! Lots of new bowls for this weekend’s BOWLS & BUTTONS holiday home show!

Looks like Emily has been knitting up some much needed warmth these days!!!
Glad my yarn bowl can be there to help… thanks for the photo Emily!

Not only did I leave Thanksgiving with a bunch of leftovers… but I got a bunch of homegrown eggs as well. Their backyard chickens are still working hard producing eggs. Thanks Kelly for sending some home with me!

I wasn’t invited to this Thanksgiving dinner… but it sure looks like my pottery sure was!!! Always fun to see some of my handiwork gracing the tables of so many celebrations! And remember… food always tastes better in handmade pottery! Thanks for the photos Kim!!!

Looks like Rosene & Gerry are having a great meal with a big collection of “Gary Bowls” on their table! Handmade food always tastes better in handmade pottery! Don’t forget you can “stock your table” with handmade bowls if you come to the HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend at my place!

Looks like Matthew is supporting his favorite team… and going GREEN ON GREEN!!!
Healthy greens in a stamped & soda-fired bowl.
