Kickin’ it off with my first Mugshot Monday of the NEW YEAR!!!
All the way from Nova Scotia where this one landed to live with the rest of Shannon’s mug collection! Looking great out in the Canadian Wilderness!

Kickin’ it off with my first Mugshot Monday of the NEW YEAR!!!

While the Elves might not be “Elfin’ on the Shelfin” anymore… they are enjoying a cozy night inside. As we get more snow tonight, looks like Eric’s elf is enjoying a warm cup… and his puppy is enjoying the fireplace! Both smart choices. Thanks for sharing Eric!

Christmas may be over…
but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate a “minty Saturday,” right???
Trying to clean & pack up some of the Holiday Home Show stuff.
But always looking for a little sweet pick-me-up treat while cleaning!!!

Looks like Rhonda is enjoying a quiet moment on a rainy December day…
accompanied by some cute little guy stewing in her morning coffee
in her new holiday trees mug!???

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!!!

Just another stamped platter ready for this weekend’s pottery sale…
perfect in a bright holiday green!!! Just looking for some Christmas cookies on top!!!



Not only did I leave Thanksgiving with a bunch of leftovers… but I got a bunch of homegrown eggs as well. Their backyard chickens are still working hard producing eggs. Thanks Kelly for sending some home with me!


After a great Thanksgiving celebration… looks like everyone is ready for a relaxing start to their day! Some of us have to work today… while others apparently get to lounge around all day & chill with a fun collection of mugs… including some new Holiday mugs just added to their collection!


All ready for our Thanksgiving Feast!!!
My contribution for the best part of the meal… DESSERT!!!
I made a Marbled Pumpkin Cheesecake with a gingersnap cookie crust!
Always fun to have a nice platter to present my dessert on… I hope everyone likes it?!!!
