Tomorrow morning at 10:10am… I will be posting an official Photo Album on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page. Included will be all of the pieces currently left in The Ghouls Collection inventory! I make a new Halloween character every year and when they’re gone they’re GONE… and retired forever!

This is a selection of the characters that will be in tomorrow online sale. I have quite a few of some… but only four of one, and only TWO of another!!! So it’s gonna be first, come first served. It’s the perfect chance to start a new collection of Halloween Festive Fun… or fill in a few holes in your existing Ghouls Collection!

Another collection of Ghouls all ready for Halloween!!!

I’ve been making a different Ghoul every year for over a decade. I make a Limited Edition of each character… and when they’re gone, they’re gone!!! This year’s character is the Dia de los Muertos Sugar Skull. I would typically sell them at ART IN THE BARN in Barrington… sadly, cancelled this year!

So this coming Saturday I will be hosting an online sale of my Ghouls Collection only on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page… kicking off at ten minutes after ten am… get it?… 10/10@10:10am. Mark your calendar!!!

Coming soon to my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page.
More details to come…

…and my Dad has pulled out his collection of Ghouls & Pumpkins!!!

One of the few people who have the entire collection from the start.
I mean, he has an “in” after all…

And if you would like to start your own festive Ghouls Collection, I will be hosting an online sale on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page this Saturday morning 10/10@10:10am! Some of the characters have already been retired, but there are still plenty to go around! More details to come…

Halloween is getting closer… and the Ghouls are coming out!
Here’s Taylor’s collection from over the years.

Many of them have been “retired” from The Ghouls Collection.
But I still have a lot of fun Ghouls to share, as well as the newest Pumpkin Patch I’ve been working on. So watch for more details about “A GHOULISH POP-UP SALE” to be held on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page in the next few days!!!

My friend Julie has been making yummy caramel apples! Melt, dip, cool… some get bubbles… and she pointed out the “similarity” to my pumpkins with warts!!! I see it… TOO FUNNY!!!

And if you happen to be anywhere in Central Illinois… you can get these yummy caramel apples at MAURIE’S CANDY SHOP in Eureka! It’s a great candy shop serving sweets & helping the developmentally disabled with a place for them to work & learn life skills. Say “Hi” to my college friends & sweet shop owners Keith & Julie while you’re there stocking up on some sweets!

My pumpkin patch is quickly coming to life! Some of them have gotten a splash of color… while some are staying a bit more “natural.” Always fun to see these little guys smiling back at you in the studio!

Well, somehow it’s already October 1st… and it looks like the Ghouls are making their way out! My friend Beckie pulled out her Ghoul Collection to start the festive mood all over her home. Werewolves, witches & bats… oh my!

Makes me think that I need to pull together a quick online Facebooks sale to offer up more Halloween Ghouls… including pumpkins, bats, spiders, werewolves and this year’s addition to the collection… Dia de los Muertos Sugar Skulls!!! More info to come…

So it was a productive afternoon in the studio playing with pumpkins! Each one getting a little personality of its own… quirky little smiles, shifty eyebrows of warts or maybe even a little cowlick of vines & leaves! Next up… some fun color accents to make them pop!

The new harvest of pumpkins is coming to life in my studio! They’re getting faces, warts & some are even getting leaves & vines! It’s also a little bit of “weather-therapy” for me.. to help gradually accept the grim fact that Summer might actually be over?! I’m still hangin’ on…
