While running holiday errands today I “just happened” to pick-up a yummy bottle of egg nog. Couldn’t wait to break it open… and it’s good for me, right? It’s a dairy product… for strong teeth and bones! Ha!!!

So you know how I LOVE sweet treats. And how I LOVE my Talented Friends!!!
And how special it is when they both come together. Like today!!!
Look what was waiting for me when I got home today!!!
A very “sweet” care package from a Facebook Friend in Alabama. Donnalee and I have been friends online for a few years now as she follows my Facebook page as a fellow potter and fan. She’s purchased a couple mugs online and shared Selifies you may heve seen here recently. But when I found out that she lives on a farm and produces natural honey… errrr… back it up… FRESH HOMEGROWN HONEY?!!! Who doesn’t like fresh honey??? So we decided to do a little trading. Who doesn’t like a good trade?!
So my good box arrived in the mail today. I quickly opened it and was thrilled to find a couple different kinds of honey, all homegrown in Pelham, Alabama at Blankenship Farms! A couple different jars of honey and some fun sticks of honey.
And oh, but wait there’s more… PEPPERMINT HONEY???
Who would have thought? It sounds perfect for the season…
and I can’t wait to give it a try!!! Not sure in what?… with what?… or just on a spoon?
So if you like honey as much as I do… and like supporting small, family-owned businesses, please click here for Blankenship Farms. And when you do, tell Donnalee I sent you to Blankenship Farms!!! Their Facebook page can link you a few different options of where to find their honey.
Would you love to get some of this…

A perfectly warm bowl of soup on a snowy winter day.
Thanks Allison for sharing your cozy meal. Looks like it’s almost gone…

One of my students stopped by my Holiday Home Show just now and dropped off a sweet holiday gift. Somehow she knew it would the perfect gift! Thanks Taylore… she knows me too well.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like a plate of deviled eggs. Especially when they’re served on a stamped & soda-fired platter… and topped with a bite of caramelized bacon! Not to mention the sweet little fingers of the egg-Chef – my niece Taylor!!!

So I made two pumpkin pies as well, but it was my cherry-topped cheesecake
that stole the show yesterday on a stamped platter.
Sure, maybe the dish of hot fudge on the side didn’t hurt any either…

Have a wonderful day sharing your day & holiday feast with your family & friends. And if you’re using any of my pottery this holiday, please share a photo with me too! gary@firewhenreadypottery … I’d be very “thankful” on Thanksgiving!

We’re just a few hours from a LOT of great food!!!
And if you’re using any Fire When Ready Pottery tomorrow, I’d love to see your Thanksgiving spread! E-mail me with a photo or two that I can share to gary@firewhenreadypottery.com!!! Like this wonderful Dutch Apple Pie on a textured tile trivet from my friend Allison. Apparently one of her students made a pie… and Allison had the perfect tiled trivet to put it on. Alex – your pie looks amazing. Sure wish I had one… hint, hint… @alexkindermanart #kindermanart

So we’re a day after Halloween.
All of the treats have been passed out to the little munchkins in cute costumes.
And then one of my students brought in some new OREO’s tonight…
and it seems like we’ve dived right into the holidays already!!!
