Looks like Allison is enjoying some beautiful lilacs from her Momma’s garden… lookin’ sweet in her stamped & purple glazed vase… or is that more “aubergine”???

A week later, and my art fair booth flowers are still looking pretty good.
I think they might be enjoying life on my back porch
with the cooler nights we’ve been having.









Celebrating a little Floral Friday with some beautiful flowers that my friend Rhonda grew in her yard, took some cuttings & now displaying them in my vases all over her house! A little floral collaboration in the making!!! And that yellow peony?… c’mon already… gorgeous!!!





Looks like Tina’s Mom has a great collection of my green pottery! And I love when I see people actually using their pieces… and not just sitting on a shelf. Thanks for the photos Tina!




We’ll gather lilacs in the Spring… and then put them in a handmade oval vase. Even better when it’s stamped & soda-fired… with double handles to make displaying the flowers even easier.









Just doing a little stamping here on some little oval vases!
All with my own handmade stamps pressed in one by one… by one… by one…


It’s another Floral Friday… this time with an oval vase full of orange tulips gracefully cascading to the side. I love how oval vases allow the flowers to spread more side-to-side… and not always so vertical like in normal vases. A little stamping… a little soda-firing… and a little soda flashing on “raw” unglazed B-Clay!!!












A true harbinger of Spring… a beautiful vase full of orange tulips for another Floral Friday!
Two different varieties of orange tulips to compliment my stamped & soda-fired vase.








Loving Kelly’s stamped & soda-fired wall pocket vase… perfect for remnants of a floral arrangement when the “fussy flowers” died off and left this textural assortment. Just another fun Floral Friday!


A single rose in a stamped & soda-fired ikebana vase to brighten your Friday…
it doesn’t take a lot to share a smile!
