Hope you’ve all had a wonderful day. Here’s a little vintage Valentine fun from my friends in Peoria. Celebrating with one of my early pieces… one of the largest vases I was so excited to finally make on the wheel. And a single row of fairly tentative stamping round the edge… kinda hidden by the glaze. But nonetheless… a nice “vintage” vase for special a Valentine’s Day!!!

Gotta love when the sun comes streaming in… and a prism rainbow lands perfectly on some vases on the shelves in my dining room! So much fun… makes me think it’s warm & sunny outside?… well, one out of two ain’t bad!!!

During these dreary winter days of the New Year… a little pop of floral color can help brighten the day! Even if it’s just a couple blooms in a couple cutie-patootie bud vases! Thanks for sharing your cheery collection Tiffany!

A mug full of flowers! Who says a mug has to be just for coffee or tea? I prefer to use them as a vase for pretty flowers. Bright colored anemones, ranunculus & gerbera daisies in a swirly blue hybrid mug. Perfect for another Mugshot Monday!

So apparently this is “a thing” now??? After last night’s post about the bathroom remodel based on one of my wall pocket vases… this morning I got another one!!! Longtime friend & follower Jean sent me photos of HER bathroom… also centered around a few of my tiled pieces, a round disc & a couple all pocket vases! Pretty cool huh?! Any other interior designers needing some inspiration?… c’mon over!!!

This is a text message from my friend Mary Foster…

“Hi Gary, hope you’re doing well! I was at a neighborhood gathering this afternoon and a woman told me she had just redone her bathroom. She designed it around a wall pocket vase she bought from you at ART IN THE GARDEN a couple of years ago. I thought you might enjoy seeing the pics!”

And Mary was right… I LOVED seeing the pics.
The bathroom is gorgeous… and I’m oddly “honored” that it all started with
just one of my little ol’ wall pocket vases!

Some pretty red anemone flowers with seeded eucalyptus in a small textured & soda-fired square vase. Loving the scroll pattern & the crazy-cool details in the flower’s center!

Looks like “somebody“… (me)… may have forgotten about this vase of flowers from two weeks ago!!! Totally dried… yet still beautiful in its own way!!!

stamped & soda-fired with a blush of a teal blue glaze!
