The perfect gift for those plant lovers on your holiday shopping list – NEW for this weekend’s SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!

One last reminder… in case you may have “missed” all of my other “hints” about my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend. I’ve been working for weeks to make enough pottery & setting up my condo to have pottery in every room! Food & drink in the kitchen & all decorated for Christmas. And oh, but wait there’s more… my back porch will have my annual “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” with discounted pottery priced to move!!! I hope you can make this weekend… its a great chance to start your holiday shopping! Whether your list has a lot of people on it… or even just yourself!!!
