Last night in my Beginning Wheel class, we tackled throwing “bowls on purpose”… instead of cylinders gone bad!!! This was my demo bowl…with a nice smooth curve & a sweet little spiral inside!

Looks like Kristy has cooked up another yummy dinner… a Moroccan stew with roasted eggplant & tomatoes. Looking even yummier in a handmade stamped bowl!!! Thanks for sharing Kristy!

Celebrating NATIONAL GUACAMOLE DAY with a quick snack before teaching class tonight! Fresh & yummy… with some homegrown tomatoes from my friend Lisa!

Luckily I had another bowl… as one of the Farmers Market vendors gave me a free bundle of radishes. Not my favorite veggie… but they were FREE!!! Which IS my favorite!

After yesterday’s Farmers Market, I came home with a bunch of yummy cherry tomatoes… and couldn’t decide which of my bowls was better for them??? Your thoughts?

I mean… well, I bought a LOT of cherry tomatoes… so I guess I can use BOTH bowls?!

After a long day of hiking & sightseeing… what better way to cap it off than with some chocolate ice cream?! Even better when served in handmade pottery!!!

Spent today playing hooky with my cousin Kim. We had a lot of great adventures & laughs along the way. We ended up at her place… where I saw her peach tree FULL of peaches. Too many peaches? Is there such a thing?… yes! They were EVERYWHERE!!! I can’t even imagine stepping out my back door to find hundreds of peaches at arms length. Crazy!!!

And yes… of course she sent me home with a bunch of homegrown peaches!!! So yummy!!!

With yesterday’s Farmers Market…
I came home with some sweet little fresh apricots.
Luckily I have a cute little carved bowl perfect for them!

Mental note to self… Yummy, but I think I prefer my apricots dried!

After a full day of Summer Camp… I also taught again tonight subbing for a Beginning Wheel class. Without a plan, we went with a “demo-on-demand” for some not-so-basic bowls demo… and lidded jars… and making stamps. It was a full night of demos!!!

Sorry about the blurry photo… smudge on the lens!

Looks like Jenn & John are enjoying the new bowl they got at the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. Putting it to use right away with a raw asparagus salad with onions & cheese. Thanks for sharing Jenn!
