Hard to believe that Christmas is just a week away.! Thanks to everyone who has been doing some great pottery shopping for the lucky people on their gift lists. We’re quickly running out of shipping time… but my Holiday Home Show shelves are still up just in case any locals need some last-minute gifts! If you need to do some shopping, send me a quick email to set-up a time! – gary@firewhenreadypottery.com

And in the meantime, I guess I better start getting my act together with some gift shopping of my own!

It’s so nice to see that my ceramic Christmas Trees are starting to show-up at their new forever homes! And becoming part of the holiday display… like this beautiful set-up that Sharon has going on! And let me just say…. I’m kind of enamored by that groovy retro ceramic Christmas “tree” with the mini ornaments. Sharon… we need the backstory about that wonderful tree!

Guess what?… I have some extra Christmas Trees!

A few left over form this weekend’s MUD & METAL Holiday Home Show… as well as a few I secretly kept back in reserve just for this pop-up online holiday sale!

So, tomorrow evening (Monday) at 7:00pm CST, I will post all of these handmade ceramic Christmas Trees in a Facebook Photo Album to my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page. At that time, the first person to write “MINE” in the Comments section of each photo will get the tree! Very simple, very old school. Hopefully they will all be shipped and arrive in time for Christmas!

No calling dibs now! No buying from this list.
This “preview” is just to give you a little planning headstart & to whet your holiday whistle! They will all be posted in order… which is also from smallest to tallest.

Reminder… the only online shopping for these twenty-five Christmas Trees will be on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page… starting tomorrow night at 7:00pm CST.

Setting up & replenishing for Day Two of my MUD & METAL HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… and I “may have” possibly saved a box or two of Christmas Trees just for today’s shoppers!… allegedly…

Fresh outta the kiln… and my Christmas Tree Forest is coming together nicely!!! All shades of green in all different sizes. Swirls, squiggles, ornaments, holes, chattering, carvings… so many different finishes making each tree one-of-a-kind. Even better… we’ll be kicking off this weekend’s MUD & METAL Holiday Home Show with over FIFTY Christmas Trees to choose from!!! Come early for the best selection… no calling dibs!

Looks like Tracy’s sister Lisa has set-up her collection of Christmas Trees for the holidays… and I’m pretty honored to be part of her festive display! There are a lot more ceramic Christmas Trees coming out of the kiln soon… so I think everyone should have a festive display like Lisa!!!

Glazed, loaded & ready to go! Just need to shut the lid, cross my fingers & turn the kiln on! A big batch of glazed Christmas Trees coming soon for this weekend’s Second Holiday Home Show!!!

Glazing is going well… just a few more trees to glaze before loading the kiln tonight! If everything goes well, these will all be out of the kiln & ready for this weekend’s MUD & METAL SHOW… My Second Holiday Home Show!

Just a few ceramic Christmas trees to get some glaze on! Getting ready for a full “Christmas Tree Farm” this weekend at my Second Holiday Home Show! But first I need to get these glazed and back into another kiln so they are fired & done for Saturday & Sunday at my place!

After a fun day at the ONE OF A KIND SHOW… we finally got all of Sarah’s stuff packed up, moved out & taken down to the loading dock by the union guys… nearly four hours later and it’s a beautiful night at the Merchandise Mart.
