So fun to have my potter-friend Mike Stumbras stop by my little Mug Sale today with some of his family! They got a quick tour of Lillstreet… and a couple new mugs… and I got a beautiful porcelain cup from Mikey! Lots of twists, slip trailing & gold lustre! If you’re not following Mike on Instagram… you definitely should be!!!

Beautiful pottery, incredible craftsmanship, historical references & plenty of videos & tutorials. Be sure to check him out. … @mikestumbras

HUGE THANKS to all of the “Procrastinator’s” out there who stopped by my studio today to do a little last-minute holiday shopping! It was great to see so many mugs head out the door… soon to be wrapped up & placed under a tree somewhere!!!

The PROCRASTINATOR’S POP-UP SHOP is open today…
and apparently I am NOT the only one looking for last-minute gifts!

A few mugs have already found their way under someone’s Christmas tree! I’ll be here until 7:00pm in case you need still need to check a couple names off your holiday gift list!

As we’re quickly slipping towards Christmas, I figure there are plenty of last-minute shoppers out there… and everyone on your gift list can use a new handmade mug, right?! So I’ve been pulling together a LOT of my mugs for a quick PROCRASTINATOR’S POP-UP SALE this Thursday in my studio! Shop small. Shop handmade.

Looks like Christmas came early for these two… with Kristy & Matt spreading a little pottery love & Christmas magic with their friends! While at the same time showing off their own ever-growing pottery collection on those cool floating shelves in the background of their kitchen!

Looks like my friend Pam is making her Monday a little better with the new mug she picked up this weekend at my Holiday Home Show! Celebrating a little Mugshot Monday with fresh coffee in her new mug! Thanks for sharing your new morning ritual Pam!

You know MUGS are my favorite thing to make.
And I’ve made more than “a few”!!!

So I’m restocking the shelves and will again have more than a HUNDRED handmade stamped mugs ready for this weekend’s MUD & METAL Holiday Home Show!

The newest addition to my “already-overflowing” Mug Collection… this time from another Chicago-area potter! A sweet little handbuilt mug with raised textures & patterns by Ben Buchenot. If you come down to the ONE OF A KIND SHOW today, be sure to check out his work in Booth #5124.
