Doing a little cooking today and it seems I’m getting a little low on my garlic?! Only a few cloves to go before this stamped bowl is empty. Looks like I might be doing some grocery shopping tomorrow, as my breath might be a little stinky tonight… but in the best way possible!

Apparently the latest McDonald’s “concoction” in China is slices of SPAM instead of a burger, topped with crushed OREO’s… and could that possibly be mayo on top of that???!!! So you know I’m a fan of the OREO… but this might have gone a bit too far!!!

But who are we kidding?… given the chance, I’m sure I’d give it a try!!!

Don’t you love when the sun shines in your window and it hits just right?.. making the coolest shadows & patterns. I just wish that sun would have stayed around a bit longer… welcome back to a Wintery day & a Wintery GRAY!!!

So the first mug “snagged” from today’s MUGSHOT MONDAY STUDIO SALE was “The Grinch” mug! And then the new owner got home to find a gift of macarons & tea waiting for her… and her heart grew three sizes that day!

A quick reminder that the MUGSHOT MONDAY SALE continues until 7:00pm in my studio. Lots of great mugs still looking for the forever homes!

Happy Mugshot Monday!!! Don’t forget we’re celebrating today with a grab & go MUGSHOT MONDAY STUDIO SALE!!! The perfect chance to pick-up that last minute gift. Swing by my studio to shop from 130 mugs on the shelves!!!

I’m on the second floor of Lillstreet Art Center at 4401 North Ravenswood in Chicago! I’ll be here selling mugs from noon to 7:00pm… and of course, face masks are required, along with all other safety protocols!

It was a dark start to the morning, without a lot of potential… or so I thought. But soon enough the clouds opened a bit and the colored sky show began to impress.

Something caught my eye…
looks like a “spark” of Christmas Cheer glistening in the mid-day sun!
A festive flare of Christmas colors to brighten the day!

It’s beginning to look LOT like Christmas!!!… EVERYwhere you go! So festive & fun to see how one of my ceramic totem poles is now surrounded by Christmas Cheer!!! It’s a crazy mix of holiday fun out in the suburbs these days!!! Thanks Chris!
