Spending a little time today photographing some new mugs… thinking it might be time for another online sale right here on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page! I mean… there’s a holiday coming up & some people might enjoy “trick-or-treating” for MUGS instead of candy!!! More to come…

A beautiful blue-sky bike ride north into Evanston… which just happened to take me past this amazing house on the corner or Lake & Hinman! Terra cotta craftsmanship like you’ve never seen before. Exquisite design & craftsmanship… they don’t make ’em like they used to!

Spent a little time this morning “refreshing” my ClayQuilt installation on the corner of my condo building. It has been out there for years… but a few tiles had fallen off. So I replaced them today… and let’s just say, turned out it was a lot more than “a few” missing!!!

More Autumn Fun at the orchard! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Indian Corn… or I think we now appropriately call it Ornamental Corn… still on the corn stalk?! Plus a lot of apples no longer on the trees!!!
