Festive fun & holiday treats at tonight’s LILLSTREET HOLIDAY PARTY! Sure, some treats were more”festive”… but I went with a true American classic! I just “fancied” them up a bit in one of my handmade bowls! Thanks to everyone who came out tonight to visit with the artists of Lillstreet.

Looks like Kristy is enjoying the last of her Thanksgiving leftovers… some green bean casserole & cribbage to complete her night! Yes, even leftovers taste better in handmade pottery!

We have just over an hour left for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… and I just replenished the bowl. C’mon over… or I’m gonna need to finish these all by myself after the show!!! And that would be “bad”… right???

Another snowy & chilly day up in Wisconsin… and it looks like Kristy & Matt are staying warm with some homemade potato & leek soup. Just remember, homemade food tastes even better in handmade pottery!!! Just sayin’…
