So I did a little roadtrip up to Appleton, Wisconsin yesterday to drop-off some hybrid mugs with the fine folks at MKM Pottery Tools. It was great to finally meet Rick, as well as his support staff with Angie, Rachel, Seth & Christopher… as we’ve only known each other “virtually” online. It was great to finally hang-out, get to know each other for real & deliver some of my soda-fired hybrid mugs to them. It was kind of a cool “full-circle moment” as I use the MKM handrollers to create my hybrid mugs. And Appleton is apparently where all the magic comes from!!!

And then… just when the sun came up & the waves were crashing…
I got one good shot of the illuminated waves…

…and then my battery died!!! ugh.

Colorful clouds & crashing waves. Another volatile morning along the lake…
beautiful, but louder than normal!

Celebrating another Floral Friday with some blue hydrangea in a round spherical vase…

Headed north for a fun roadtrip… getting ready to deliver a special “commission” of hybrid mugs!!! It’ll be a fun “full-circle moment” for these mugs… more details to come!!!

And sometimes bigger sunrise skyshows simple “require” bigger panoramic photos!!!

Another glorious morning along the lakefront… still chilly, but less breezy & calmer waters prevailed today. It was fun to watch the colors change while the sunrise was starting to play with the clouds. Always the best way to start my day!

Also from yesterday’s Andersonville Farmer’s Market… some more beautiful dahlias looking for a nice handmade vase to call home! Like this double-handled, stamped & soda-fired oval vase. Handmade pottery makes the pretty flowers even prettier!

After yesterday’s Andersonville Farmer’s Market… I was stocked-up at Stamper Cheeses & prepared for today’s holiday… who knew?! So here I am with my favorite blue cheese & blue cheese-layered Brie… for NATIONAL MOLDY CHEESE DAY!!! Yummy!!!
