Look like another berry bowl found a good home during last weekend’s GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. Looks beautiful when filled with blueberries & strawberries! I’m sure Allison loves her new berry bowl… but it looks like her cat is still a bit unsure?!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Randal, Fred and the rest of The Rogue Potters on getting a new sign… now looking so “legit” and official. Hard to believe it’s already twelve years since I met the “merry band of Rogue Potters” during the Minnesota Pottery Tour… not an official tour stop, but a great add-on with clever signage on the highway! A talented group of potters… so glad I’ve been able to be part of their journey! The sign looks great guys!!!

I love when your “friend-worlds” collide! Like earlier today when my good college friend Kelly & her mom Mimi met up with my pottery friend Cory McCrory during an art fair at the Vrooman Mansion in Bloomington! I know Kelly has been an online “fan” of Cory’s work for several years… so this “friends-collision” makes me very happy! Plus, it looks like a few purchases were made too… which also makes me happy!!! Fun pottery for everyone!

What better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than sharing cotton candy with a friend?!

Looks like my pal Pam is having a healthy lunch at her desk today… a nice green salad in a nice green bowl! Thanks for sharing Pam!

Our pottery tour host Cory McCrory has a line-up mugs standing at the ready… and lots of other amazing pots in her tent! All ready for another day of pottery fun!

Looks like my uber-talented buddy Cory McCrory has been extra busy in her studio getting ready for the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR! Some adorable critters scurrying around to find a spicy S&P tray! Can’t wait to share her studio location as one of her guests for the tour. We would love to see you on June 11th & 12th. Kick off your tour in Sandwich, Illinois and work your way back to the Aurora, Villa Park and finally Chicago tour locations.

I also had a sweet treat delivered by one of my Facebook Fans today! It was a great surprise when Melissa dropped it off this morning… always good to see her… even better when bearing gifts! So sweet… both she and the apricot bars!

Looks like Gerry is kickin’ back on his deck, relaxing & enjoying another MUGSHOT MONDAY… with a fresh green shamrock mug!

Fresh from the garden… not mine of course, but of wonderful friends who love to grow things! And share things… like this beautiful bowl of colors & textures! Oh, how I love rhubarb season!!!
