After a long day of holiday sales & a LOT of warm apple cider served at the `… my cider mugs are in the dishwasher for the night. Getting ready for more warm apple cider for the customers stopping by tomorrow!

Sometimes the best way to choose a good textured wall piece or two… is to plunk yourself down right there on the floor to lay them out to visualize how they might look on your wall.

Just a few wheelthrown ornaments looking for their forever home…
err, forever Christmas Tree!!!

Day One of the HOLIDAY HOME SHOW was a success… so much fun seeing friends & customers again doing a little holiday shopping! So glad that people have been vaccinated, willing to still wear their masks… with everyone trying to get a little closer to normal. Looking forward to having more fun & selling more pottery tomorrow for Day Two! Hope you can stop by!

And yes, if you look closely... that is indeed my “Knight Before Christmas” in the corner of my dining room!

A quick reminder that MY HOLIDAY HOME SHOW is this weekend! With plenty of pottery for everyone on your Holiday Gift List… and your personal Wish List too!!! Hope you can make it this weekend… with masks required for everyone… and please feel free to bring a friend or two… or five!!!

My HOLIDAY HOME SHOW kicks-off tomorrow!

And I’m unpacking, pricing & stocking the shelves… already with OVER A HUNDRED MUGS on the shelves. With a lot more pottery still to put out. It’s my biggest show with the most inventory of the year! Pottery in every room of my condo… and the “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” on the back porch!

The perfect time to start your holiday gift shopping!

Two of my favorite stamped bowls that came out of the soda kiln. I love the how the tenmoku glaze highlighted all of the stamping… and how the green glaze transitions to blue across the bowl where the soda hit it. It’s always so difficult to NOT keep all of these beautiful bowls for myself! So these two large bowls will be part of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend!!!

What a pleasant surprise! Just when I thought my dahlia plant was done blooming for the season… one more beautiful blossom! Good thing I didn’t dig out the tubers too soon!

Surprisingly warm this morning… so I had to ride! Sure, the roads were wet from overnight rain, and there was really no chance for an actual sunrise… but it still felt great getting back out on my bike for “sunrise” bike ride… no matter how gray & cloudy!

A few more pieces that came out of my recent soda kiln. These lidded jars & more will be available during my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this coming weekend! I’ve been making a lot of work getting ready for this big annual event! My favorite pottery sale of the year!
