More flowers from the weekend art fair! Another stamped & soda-fired vase…
hoping that these have a bit more life in them! I think they’re a bit “sturdier” than lilies?!
I guess we’ll find out soon enough???

After a weekend in my art fair booth, I’m hoping that these white lilies might have a few more days of “pretty” in them?! They still smell great… so that’s a good start!!!




Sometimes the cutest little flowers need a cute little vase!
Such an aromatic perfume from these little cuties!







What a wonderful weekend up in Minneapolis going to the ST. CROIX VALLEY POTTERY TOUR!!! We had amazing weather which only added to our amazing time! Hanging out with friends, seeing tons of beautiful pottery, chatting with some of my potter friends & “quite possibly” adding a few pieces to my own pottery collection! Allegedly…

Always a great time… and always on Mother’s Day Weekend. So if you didn’t make it this weekend… mark your calendar for next year. I already have… and I’ll see then you up north!!!




























Cute little flowers in a cute little vase!
And don’t forget… tiny vases “need” tiny stamps!!! Thanks for sharing Kristy!


Kicking off a beautiful Spring morning with a vase full of aromatic lilac blooms.
Such a shame that these beauties are so short-lived… as are most Spring flowers!






Wall pocket vases coming together… gently trimmed, stamped & squished!
Well, maybe “gently ovalized” would be a better phrase. Regardless…
these now just need some accents of colored slip before they start drying completely!


With warrantied replacement parts & pieces… I’m back up & running with my favorite Giffin Grip! So much fun & so much quicker… especially when trimming these little cutie-patooties mini vases!!!






Another warm Spring day… and it looks like little Theo may have found the first dandelion of the season! Luckily, he had the perfect little vase to put it in!!! Thanks for sharing Allyn!


Kicked-off my day by throwing more than ten pieces before 10:00am.
This time it was a lot of fun throwing little minis off-the-hump.
