A couple happy pottery peeps… celebrating yesterday with some new pottery! Excited about their red “ornaments” holiday mug… but I think even more excited about the stamped aubergine vase that they got as a gift from Dad! Thanks for sharing your holiday Allison & Michael.

Yes… I had “two side dishes” for our family Christmas meal. So my second offering was a casserole dish full of baked beans… my step-Grandma Rose’s recipe! Yum… and I’m glad there were a few leftovers for my lunch today!!!

Holiday preparations are in the works.
I know what I’m making for tomorrow’s Christmas feast… I’m on “two side dishes.”

The real question is what will they be served in???

Early morning sun streaming through my dining room windows! Spreading light upon lots of pottery hoping to find new homes this weekend! It’s the perfect weekend to finish your holiday gift shopping!!! C’mon over… 10:00am-6:00pm today & tomorrow!

The perfect gift for those plant lovers on your holiday shopping list – NEW for this weekend’s SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!! I’ve selected a few of my pottery pieces and planted them up with some houseplants… all ready to go! The perfect gift to brighten someone’s house for years to come. As long as they splash a bit of water now & again… and don’t worry, they all have drainage holes too!

One last reminder… in case you may have “missed” all of my other “hints” about my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend. I’ve been working for weeks to make enough pottery & setting up my condo to have pottery in every room! Food & drink in the kitchen & all decorated for Christmas. And oh, but wait there’s more… my back porch will have my annual “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” with discounted pottery priced to move!!! I hope you can make this weekend… its a great chance to start your holiday shopping! Whether your list has a lot of people on it… or even just yourself!!!

You know I love a yummy national holiday… like today being NATIONAL CHEESECAKE DAY! So I just had to “celebrate” tonight after teaching my pottery class! Thank you Eli’s!!!

All set-up, replenished & ready for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR.
We’re open until 5:00 pm today… so c’mon by to say “Hi” in Booth #28.

Come join us out in the park in Glenview on Saturday & Sunday from 11:00am-5:00pm. Watch for the white tents on the corner of Lake & Waukegan Roads in front of Lyon Elementary School. Lots of art, lots of fun… lots of pottery looking for a new home!!!

Starting TOMORROW!!! I’m packing up now, loading car with tons of pots & headed to Sandwich soon to start setting up! Looking forward to a great weekend as part of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR again this year. Hoping to see a lot of pottery-loving folks this weekend… come on by the Sandwich location first… and then head to the rest!!!
