Just a little “good luck spider” hanging out on my ikebana display flowers!

Had to make a quick stop at the Andersonville Farmer’s Market on my way to the studio! Beautiful food, veggies & flowers every. And just for the record… I did NOT come home with all of these yummies!!!

Celebrating another Mugshot Monday with a splash of color! As someone who does not drink coffee or tea, I don’t use many mugs. Ironically, the mug is my all-time favorite thing to make… and I make a LOT of them! So for those non-caffeine drinkers… mugs make great vases too!

After a trip to the Andersonville Farmer’s Market on Wednesday, this collection of beautiful dahlias is now looking quite comfortable in one of my stamped & soda-fired oval vases. Beautiful blooms from Vangie’s Farm… including crazy cool & crazy huge curly burgundy dahlia! Perfect for a beautiful Floral Friday!

Another favorite flower… purple echinacea very similar to my other favorite black-eyed susan! Always fun when they bloom & the butterflies find them in time to spread the lovin’!

Celebrating another Floral Friday… with my Glenview art fair booth flowers from last weekend that are still holding up really well. And looking great in an oval vase that “spreads them out” a bit more so you can see more flowers!!!
