Looks like Gerry is starting his day off with a healthy bowl of oatmeal with some cranberry relish on top! I’m sure it tastes better from a handmade ceramic bowl… although I still prefer my oatmeal as a COOKIE!!!! Thanks for sharing your breakfast & your pottery collection with us Gerry!

And let’s not get crazy…
of course there are snacks at my PROCRASTINATOR’S POP-UP SHOP!
Individually packed, pandemic-approved… but still OREOs nonetheless!!!

You gotta love it when the sun comes streaming through your window catching a Christmas crystal and making mini-rainbows appear in all the right places!

Just spending a little time this morning restocking & replenishing shelves for Day Two of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… including the “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” shelves on the back porch! Don’t forget, we’re open again today from 10:00am-6:00pm!

Two of my favorite stamped bowls that came out of the soda kiln. I love the how the tenmoku glaze highlighted all of the stamping… and how the green glaze transitions to blue across the bowl where the soda hit it. It’s always so difficult to NOT keep all of these beautiful bowls for myself! So these two large bowls will be part of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend!!!

GOTTA LOVE THE GOURD!
I’ve always been a huge fan of gourds… even more than pumpkins! I love the colors, the curves, the warts and the colorful fun of a bowl full of gourds!!! Especially when the bowl is made of rusty tools, right?!
