Huh?… who knew that I would “match” my bowl so well today?! A couple colored slips from last week’s class demo… and an ice-dyed shirt from quarantine… finally get to meet!

After pedaling all day & enjoying my free ice cream… I drove out for family night in the suburbs! I couldn’t help but stop & swerve to the curb when I saw this PERFECT MOMENT!!! The colors, the trees, the reflection… MOTHER NATURE IS AMAZING!!!

And what better way to make your BIG DAY “sweeter”…
than FREE ICE CREAM at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams!

You get a free trio of ice creams on your birthday… so I went TWICE!!!
No one ever said you couldn’t go to more than one location, right?!!!
… and you know we all love FREE!!!

To help celebrate my big day yesterday, I set out to enjoy another beautiful day of Indian Summer. I just LOVE this week of gorgeous days with amazing Fall colors. It’s been a great week to be “celebrating” & playing hooky during the day! Riding north along the lake took me up though Openlands Lakeshore Preserve to enjoy the lake, the trees, the colors, the freedom… and just being out there enjoying it ALL!!!

Another AMAZING day playing outside in Nature!!!
THANK YOU MOTHER NATURE.

My day started off yesterday with a crisp start to a beautiful Fall day. I hopped on my bike to pedal north for the day… with a quick stop at the Baha’i Temple in Wilmette. Such an amazing building… even better when surrounded with blue skies & warm Fall colors.

I even found a piece of history in back where they show off one of the original “test pieces” to create this magnificent building!

Monochromatic morning… my red bike by a beautiful big red tree! This tree… these colors!!! Mother Nature is AMAZING!

So nice to have warm mornings back… good to go sleeveless jersey & bike shorts again! No gloves this morning. Just a serene pastoral haze that took awhile for the sun to burn through. But it came up like a big red rubber ball… reflections bouncing on the water!

JUST ONE HOUR AWAY…
the kick-off to my Facebook online sale of The Ghouls Collection!!!

Every year I make a new character to add to the collection… and here’s your chance to add to your collection or even start a new one! All of them except the pumpkins are Limited Editions… so when they’re gone they’re GONE!!! I have a good number of “some”… and one or two of “some others.” They’re gonna go fast… don’t miss out!

Set a reminder for yourself for 10:10am CST today for when I post the official Photo Album to shop from on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page.

Late to the party… and not quite one of The Ghouls.
But these cute jack o’lanterns are wheelthrown & carved like Halloween pumpkins! And the squirrels won’t be eating through these ones! The lids come off and a votive candle can be burned inside to illuminate their silly grins! They will be part of the official Photo Album posted on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook this morning at 10:10am CST for the big online sale!… 10/10@10:10.
