A beautiful day with plenty of art fair tent shadows.

Just a little early morning re-stocking, re-plenishing & re-arranging for Day Two of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR. We had a great day yesterday… and looking forward to more pottery fun today!!! C’mon by the Sandwich location and say “Hi!”

A fun day to celebrate one of our potter friends at the Sandwich location of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR. Sure, his birthday may have been yesterday… but feel free to stop by tomorrow & sing “Happy Birthday” to him!!!

The NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR is officially open!!! We have a lot of pottery ready & waiting to go to their forever homes! We also have a raffle going at each location. These three bottles by Cory McCrory are the prize for one lucky winner at the Sandwich location! We hope you have time to enjoy the Tour this weekend… whether you’re shopping, chatting or just enjoying a fun road trip!

It’s a little early this morning… but never too soon to start putting pottery on the shelves for this weekend’s NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

A beautiful sunset as we were driving back to Cory’s after attending the Friday night Opening Party in Aurora. A nice kick-off for the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… lots of pots & friendly potters. And a bonus sunset to cap off the night!!!

One last reminder…. this weekend is the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… just in case you’ve somehow “missed” my previous posts??? I will be at the Sandwich location at the home-studio of my talented friend Cory McCrory! We may be the furthest away location, but we have a lot of great artists with full-on art fair tents full of pottery!!! Come on by!!!

Starting TOMORROW!!! I’m packing up now, loading car with tons of pots & headed to Sandwich soon to start setting up! Looking forward to a great weekend as part of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR again this year. Hoping to see a lot of pottery-loving folks this weekend… come on by the Sandwich location first… and then head to the rest!!!

Just days away!!! The NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR is this weekend. I’ll be at the Sandwich location out in the far west suburbs. I would start there & work your way back towards the Chicago to get the full “tour” experience. There are seven ceramic artists at our location… functional, whimsical, decorative, sculptural, traditional, textural & so much more. A little of everything!!! Mark your calendar, set the GPS, pack some snacks… and have fun roadtrippin’ around The Tour this weekend!

Looks like it’s Catalpa Tree blooming time! Maybe a little bit past their prime?… or just “beat-up” a little from the storms? Either way, it’s always fun to see these huge trees flowering… and then in a few days when the flowers fall off the trees and everything gets scattered with these orchid-like flowers.

But then those flowers start to decay… so enjoy the pretty now!!!
