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.

Last night in my Beginning Wheel class, we were celebrating the end of the Fall session with a potluck… as we like to do. The theme was “dips & the vehicle to get it into your mouth.” I made my friend Kelly’s favorite recipe “Texas Caviar”… and had just the perfect bowl to serve it in along with tortilla chips!

Just finished doing a bit of quick garden work… a tiny clean-up before the bad weather hits tomorrow! Back porch plants safely tucked away in the basement… and I pulled off the last of my yellow cherry tomatoes before chopping down the plant. Kinda hoping a few more of these will ripen in a sunny window??!
