But now here’s the REAL DEAL!!!… a chocolate carrot cake layered with raspberry preserves!!! Now THAT’s what I call a “Breakfast Of Champions”!!! Looks so yummy on the stamped platter… but would look even yummier on my fork if I were there!!! I hope they’re sending me some of that yumminess?!

And don’t be fooled…
these are the same people who we’re having that “healthy” fruit salad too!!! Healthy with a chocolate chaser… I totally get it!!!

While other friends are being a little “healthier” for breakfast this morning with this bright & colorful fruit salad in a “rustic” yellow bowl with a stamped rim & white slip stripes!

So while I’m in the studio firing the soda kiln all day today, looks like some of my friends are having a YUMMY morning. Like my pal Sarah who’s enjoying a banana & chocolate chip breakfast bundt cake this morning!!!

So?… if there’s no frosting does that mean the cake is for breakfast???

Keeping with our “yellow theme” this morning…
looks like Sally’s yummy lemon tart cake will make Matthew smile (and maybe pucker-up a bit) for his birthday! Happy Belated Birthday Matthew!!!

You know how I love to celebrate a good holiday… especially when it’s NATIONAL APPLE PIE DAY! I mean, it would be “rude” to not participate, right? Even if it’s just with a mini-pie?… although I kinda wish I had three of these?!

One of the best parts of having friends stop by your weekend pop-up pottery sale… is when they bring you sweet treats from their candy shop!!! The best homemade chocolate fudge from Maurie’s Sugar Shoppe in Eureka, Illinois… right across from the Courthouse! Thanks Keith & Julie… you guys are too “sweet.”

FLASHBACK FRIDAY… with this little cutie!
Ryann was adorable in her little pink glasses eating out of her favorite mug! She no longer has the glasses… but hopefully still loves the mug now that she’s eight years older… and she’s still adorable!

You know how I love a good holiday… especially when it’s National Deep Dish Pizza Day!!! So I felt somewhat “obligated” to celebrate with a slice for dinner before class tonight!!! I mean, if I must…

Looks like an Easter Bunny in Pennsylvania has been busy decorating eggs! Pretty pastel colors in a vibrant green stamped bowl! Thanks for sharing Jody!
