Just two hours left for today’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!
Still plenty of time & plenty of pottery to make plenty of presents!!!

‘Tis the season for red & green… as we head into Day Two of my limited-access & socially-distant HOLIDAY HOME SHOW! Wear your mask and buy some pottery for everyone on your holiday shopping list… and maybe a thing or two for yourself as well?! You deserve it… it’s been a rough year!

A very huge & sincere THANK YOU to everyone who played along with my Silent Auction on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page today. Whether you placed a bid, shared the story, reacted to the post or just loved a cardinal… I was blown away by you all. What started as a personal commission project has now expanded into an even larger story of support & encouragement. I am ever so thankful for my fans, followers & supporters especially during this holiday season… and even more this CRAZY YEAR!!!

This was my very first Silent Auction here on Facebook. I wasn’t even sure it would work… I thought someone might get this piece “real cheap”!!! But then I was shocked when bids started pouring in. People playing along. People bidding. People encouraging others. This was a overall success! Thank You all.

And a very special THANK YOU and congratulations to Melissa for her very generous Top Bid! Looks like this cardinal will be taking flight to her place very soon!

Thanks again!

So it’s Day Twelve of my TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS POTTERY SALE… and we’re celebrating with one last surprise!!! Today we’re doing a SILENT AUCTION only on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page for this large lidded jar with a cardinal on top… not quite a partridge, but close enough for me!

After letting all of the ice melt, letting the dye set-in… it’s finally time to take off the rubber bands and to open up my new tie-dyed shirts. There’s always a moment of anticipation as you start to open it up and the pattern begins to reveal itself. So here they are… four shirts before & after… wrapped & unwrapped!!! Loving the results so far… and I might just need to make more.

You know, MORE IS MORE – even when it comes to tie-dye!!!
