After a fun “weekend of pottery” out in “the country”… it felt great to get back to the City & back on my bike for another kick-off to another week. So nice to have a beautiful sunrise over the lake to start my day again!

Headed home as the sun sets on the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

So much fun playing at the Sandwich location with such great potters & now-friends! Thanks to Cory for hosting… as well as Kenyon, Lindsey, Linda & Nancy (Burt) for making it such a fun weekend!

Whimsical illustrations with kind of a groovy retro vibe by Nancy Gardner…another one of the potters at the Sandwich location of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

Layered with technique & style, Linda Lee Kiepke combines her love of clay & illustration in her pottery… another soda-firer at the Sandwich location of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

Lindsey Heiden is my “booth neighbor” in the yard…
sharing her whimsical approach & witty attitude shine through!

More beautiful pots by Kenyon Hansen gracing our garden setting. Great style, design & craftsmanship all finished in the soda kiln.

Our pottery tour host Cory McCrory has a line-up mugs standing at the ready… and lots of other amazing pots in her tent! All ready for another day of pottery fun!

All set-up… ready for Day Two of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR. Re-stocked & ready… bring it on! C’mon out to Sandwich for our stop of the pottery tour!

Ginkgo greetings from Sandwich! Looks like the rain moved through overnight leaving us with magical morning moments like these! Looks like clear skies for Day Two of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR. We’re all opening our tents & replenishing our shelves here in Sandwich. C’mon by… we’re open again today from 10:00am-4:00pm!

I mean… while you’re in a town named Sandwich… it seemed too obvious… ‘cuz you know how I love a good theme!!!
