Looks like Matthew has been busy picking out pomegranate seeds! Beautiful color & shiny texture in a green stamped bowl. Personally, I’ve never quite figured out the “allure” of the whole pomegranate seed thing… but they sure are pretty! Thanks for sharing Matthew’s hard work Kristy!

One of the down-sides to packing & shipping pottery is the fear of breaking something that a customer has already paid for while packing it! Luckily, knock on wood… that has not happened yet. However… this time the mug NEXT TO the purchased mug was the one that went down!!! ugh.

On an up-side…. we can now see the inside if a mug?
I guess my wall thickness looks pretty thin & even?!

Looks like Allison is celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with a yummy Stroopwafel moment. Glad to see that my mug is the perfect size for warming up her Stroopwafel… so that the caramel begins to melt & seep out the edges!!! Yum.

After another trip to the “pottery” Post Office, it seemed like the perfect chance for a beautiful morning stroll through the snow-dusted park! And then it’s back to work…

More trees and the forest is GROWING!!!
Keith & Julie added a few more Christmas Trees to their collection this year. Beautiful holiday grouping of my wheelthrown trees… and their mirror in the back sure doesn’t hurt any either!

Hard to believe that Christmas is just a week away.! Thanks to everyone who has been doing some great pottery shopping for the lucky people on their gift lists. We’re quickly running out of shipping time… but my Holiday Home Show shelves are still up just in case any locals need some last-minute gifts! If you need to do some shopping, send me a quick email to set-up a time! – gary@firewhenreadypottery.com

And in the meantime, I guess I better start getting my act together with some gift shopping of my own!

It’s so nice to see that my ceramic Christmas Trees are starting to show-up at their new forever homes! And becoming part of the holiday display… like this beautiful set-up that Sharon has going on! And let me just say…. I’m kind of enamored by that groovy retro ceramic Christmas “tree” with the mini ornaments. Sharon… we need the backstory about that wonderful tree!

Looks like my pal Allison is starting off her Saturday with some clean blueberries… I’m hoping she might be getting ready for a blueberry pancakes morning?… yum!

Quick thanks to everyone who made my ONLINE CHRISTMAS TREE SALE such a huge success last night! I posted twenty-five ceramic Christmas trees… and they were practically all claimed in about an hour!!! So now I have some packing & shipping to do to get all twenty-five sent out into the world to spread some festive cheer!

And another quick thanks to my pal Amy for giving me two huge bags of bubble wrap for me to recycle & reuse again! I love when free packing materials show up right when I need them… instead of ending up in a dumpster somewhere! Thanks everyone for keeping this season bright!
