Looks like Sally’s new green bowl arrived safe & sound…
glad she likes it.
I’m also glad that she’s staying safe and dutifully wearing her face mask.
Although I kinda think a fabric one would be easier to breath through?!!! Ha!!!

Looks like a colorful mix for lunch… not a lot of stamping in these classic bowls, but a whole lot of healthy! Looks like very vermicelli… and a very hungry Matt! Thanks for sharing!!!


After my first “post-quarantine” Farmer’s Market yesterday… masks, sanitizing spray when entering, contactless shopping, social distancing & more sanitizing spray when leaving… I found myself with a couple new cheeses & these Ranier Cherries! So I had to clean them well… and what better way than in a nice handmade berry bowl!!!




If you need a new berry bowl, there are a few still left in my Online Pottery Shop… click here… http://firewhenreadypottery.com/my-online-pottery-store/


Looks like Kristy has been in the kitchen making a healthy & tasty treat of peaches & strawberries topped with basil & balsamic vinegar. Looking good in two of my stamped bowls… but I of course would want some vanilla ice cream to go under all of that healthy stuff!!!
Thanks for the photo Kristy!!!

Okay, so now I”m hungry again… looks like Matt has been making some garlic scape pesto again… this time over pasta in one of my bowls with a stamped rim!

Just loving how those cherry tomatoes are making the bright blue glaze really POP!!! A nice blue set being used in the kitchen… berry bowl & spoon rest! Thanks Jeannine for the photo… glad your Mom is diggin’ her new pottery!!!

Blending up a batch of garlic scape pesto for lunch… which smells AMAZING!!! I didn’t know this was a thing. But thanks to Matt who suggested I try making some. And for those who still don’t know… a garlic scape is the squiggle-curly-stemmy portion of the garlic plant that usually gets thrown away. Who knew?!... just blend it with some olive oil & parmesan cheese… I got a bit crazy and added a little bit of spinach to make it even greener! Can’t wait to dig in… and then to smell like garlic for the rest of the day!


Looks like Kelly is enjoying her birthday with a yummy piece of pecan pie… in one of my sgraffito-carved bowls that she bought as a birthday present to herself.

Looks like Kristy has been cooking up a bowl full of yumminess up in Wisconsin! I can almost taste it from here… thanks for sharing!

Just one hour left… I’m starting to assemble the “official” POP-UP POTTERY SALE Photo Album that I’ll post only on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page at 7:00pm CST.
Once it’s LIVE… the first person to comment with “MINE” in the Comment Section of a single photo gets that pot! It’s first come, first serve… and a bit old-school. But it seems to work for me… as everyone can see what’s been claimed already, and what is still available.
You’ve seen a lot of previews today…
we’ve got just about an hour until the shopping begins! WHOO-HOO!!!
