I just LOVE when a plan comes together! Especially when a husband can do some “secret” pottery shopping to surprise his wife on Christmas Day! So happy to be part of the surprise… and even better to see the look on Diane’s face when she opened her pottery presents!

Adding more pottery to her collection & building a set of dinnerware that’s not so matchy-matchy! Well done Jim!!!

Okay, so maybe Dad took a little siesta in the middle of the day?… but he was a trooper putting up with all of our silly reindeer games!!!

Homemade chocolate cheesecake on a handmade stamped platter. Nothing better than sharing treats from the oven… on top of treats from the kiln! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Looks like Rosene has been busy in the kitchen making pie for the holidays! Looking extra festive in a stamped pie plate!

Well, all of the ornaments have made it onto the tree… twenty-four days of adding ornaments to my Christmas Advent Calendar.

A beautiful heirloom created by my Grandma Kitty… stitched together one sequin at a time! Always full of fond family memories as Christmas draws closer through the month of December! And it’s finally here…

It’s beginning to look… err, taste a lot like Christmas! A festive white-on-white stamped bowl filled with holiday Hershey’s Kisses! Four fun flavors… Mint, Hot Cocoa, Cherry Cordial & Sugar Cookie!

Hard to choose a favorite… but I’m going MINT!!!
