Janice stopped by the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… and picked up a stamped & soda-fired flower pot. And now it looks like her little plant is just loving its new home! Thanks for sharing Janice!

Not only is today JUNETEENTH… but it is also the last day of NATIONAL CLAY WEEK… who knew?! So I hope you’ve taken some time to play in the clay, admire some ceramics or enjoyed your meals off of some handmade pottery this week! You still have time today… and send me photos if you use any of my pottery today! Enjoy today’s holidays!

Looks like Lora is enjoying her new blue stamped & soda-fired mug that she picked-up during the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR. Perfect for another Mugshot Monday… but what day is groovy-cool coaster day???

Congratulations to Jody & Ira who are celebrating their 25th anniversary… with some quiet time together with their morning coffee ritual in a couple of stamped & glazed mugs!

Bright blue bowl & bright red cherries!
Looks like the perfect snack for a warm sunny Friday. Thanks for sharing Kristy!

So Richard picked up this little sipper during the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… and has been putting it to use! Looks perfect for #wednesdaywineday! Thanks for sharing Richard!

It’s a little early this morning… but never too soon to start putting pottery on the shelves for this weekend’s NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

Starting TOMORROW!!! I’m packing up now, loading car with tons of pots & headed to Sandwich soon to start setting up! Looking forward to a great weekend as part of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR again this year. Hoping to see a lot of pottery-loving folks this weekend… come on by the Sandwich location first… and then head to the rest!!!

One last reminder! Hope to see some of you this weekend in Hinsdale!!! Even if it rains… as pottery looks even better when it’s wet!!! HA!!!

Just enjoying a little FLORAL FRIDAY with a fun arrangement in a stamped & soda-fired oval vase. I do get a lot of questions at art fairs as to what you can use an “oval” vase for?! My answer is “pretty much anything!” But I do enjoy how an oval vase makes the flowers spread out a bit more from side-to-side so you can see them better… instead of all squished together as some taller round vases do!
