So excited that this recent shipment of mugs made it safely to North Carolina… just in time for Mugshot Monday! And even better… it looks like they already have a shelf of their own to show them off!!! Thanks Gwynne for sharing your collection… that went from one mug to seven in a blink!

Since soda-firing can be so random… and one side of a piece can look totally different than the other side… most of the photos posted for my ONLINE HOLIDAY SHOW will have an inset photo so you can see both sides! Dimensions, volume & price will be on the photos too! This mug is just a great dramatic example!!!

Looks like Beth is enjoying a little MUGSHOT MONDAY
with the new holiday mug she picked up this weekend at my Second Holiday Home Show

There are only a couple holiday mugs left. So I think we might have time
for a little Facebook online sale… most likely tomorrow!!!
