After a couple hectic days at my own HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… it was a great way to relax watching Mike Stumbras throwing large plates in his studio on Instagram Live! I could easily watch people throw on a wheel forever… so soothing, so mesmerizing… especially when it’s a talented thrower & teacher like my friend Mikey!

Just spending a little time this morning restocking & replenishing shelves for Day Two of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… including the “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” shelves on the back porch! Don’t forget, we’re open again today from 10:00am-6:00pm!

All clean and ready to go for Day Two of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. The apple cider is already in the crockpot… aroma wafting through my condo! Getting ready to kick-off Day Two in about an hour or so!

Funny story… I went through years of Holiday Home Shows while serving warm apple cider in styrofoam cups. Suddenly, a few years back, the light bulb went off and I “realized” that I should make mugs for the apple cider. Save the planet & promote my product. I’m kind of embarrassed that it took me so long to figure that out. Sometimes it’s hard to see the obvious!

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!
