Looks like a yummy Thanksgiving meal… homemade food on handmade pottery! So glad that my pottery could part of the holiday celebration. Thanks for the photos Matthew!

If you have photos from your Thanksgiving festivities, I’d love to see them… shoot them over to ‘gary@firewhenreadypottery.com’

HUGE THANKS to everyone who came out this weekend for my Holiday Home Show… and thanks to the sun for shining in & hitting the pots on the dining room table just right throughout the day. We’ve officially kicked off the holiday shopping season… giddy-up!!!

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!!!

We’re just a week away from my favorite pottery sale of the year! After more than a year of weirdness, I’m hoping that we can get back to a little bit of “normal” with a great HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. Even if we need to stay masked & socially-distant, it will still be the perfect chance to kick-off your holiday gift shopping for everyone on your list… including yourself!

Well, it’s been a little while, as I’ve been more than a little busy… but I just realized that I never showed off my latest soda kiln after being fired. So here are some quick picks of what it looked like before I started unloading! Most of these pieces will be finding their way onto the shelves at MY HOLIDAY HOME SHOW next weekend!

We had a great time last night for the kick-off of THE COZY COTTAGE POP-UP. Always fun hanging out with some of My Talented Friends… and meeting a lot of new ones! We’re open again today from 10:00am-5:00pm in the Cottage! Lots of fun, lots of art!!!

Well, I’ll be doing a “sweet” little pottery POP-UP SHOP tomorrow at Maurie’s Sugar Shoppe in Eureka, Illinois from 10:00am-7:00pm.
