Venomous, egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal. Wait, that's a platypus. Fan of compound adjectives.

I buy & sell antiques & vintage & am a hobby ceramic artist. Rural, progressive mom of 2 adult trans kids. Loves rocks & mushrooms.
Oh! Great point! I do see a ton of partial sets while thrifting!

Now what I really should do is invent a modular one that can absorb losing a piece...

Reminds me of the old post about the crucial but missing 4th ice cream bowl.

Okay hivemind! If you have a divided platter, do you prefer a one-piece design or do you like a modular design?

All of the modular ones seem to include a base/carrier, so I'm not sure it saves any storage space.

Pottery or Ceramics feed, which do you prefer making? Is one more popular?

I was ginormously good today, so I got a ginormous Mocha Blast. Gonna be awake for years!

Little Mama Kitty update for those who need it.

The cooler temps have made her snuggly again. She hasn't been in my lap since she discovered & laid claim to the window shelf looking out into the backyard (& front row seat to the hummingbird feeders) in late spring.

This. Hands down. Not even making a "gold medal" pun.

It's our Wreckaversary, the day my youngest child & I celebrate not dying in a rollover accident! We're making a Basque cheesecake!

Much love to all my Twitter girls who were with me then & are still with me now! <3 Love you lots!

It's 9:45pm! And that means....

I did it. I made it to the pottery studio & as always, I'm glad I went.

Worked on a ordering project & some ornament commissions. This one is for someone who is moving.

I KNEW they were in WA & OR, but they're actually in 7 states! Not pictured: Alaska's 3 Franz outlet locations

If you live in Washington or Oregon & are needing to make your food dollars stretch, see if you have a Franz bread outlet store near you. This was $13 today, TOTAL.

About a quarter of the store is quick sale items, most is first run items. Many of their stores also sell dairy, jams, mayo, etc.

What's your tattoo, Ron Currie? A symbol of the torture, starvation & slaughter of 6 million Jews + 250,000 U.S. military deaths?

We DO know! My tribal arm band tattoo is dated but it is apples & oranges compared to a Nazi symbol. It marks me as an elder millennial, not a 🚨DANGER TO MINORITIES!🚨

Processing the amethyst revealed some flash this week! #ErynRocks

Absolutely amazing retro Minnesota Catfish Derby Days coffee mugs I'm hoping to add to my Etsy shop this week. Can't decide which is the best one & am having a hard time parting with both of them. #ErynThrifts

Took these stunning photos earlier tonight because my eyes are terrible & I couldn't tell what type of owl was in our yard.

Guess I know where all the doves have been going now!

90% sure it's a barred owl. (Western WA)

LOL Agreed!

We went to Dairy Queen when my eldest was 6 & she wanted to order this super spicy hamburger. 1: She didn't like spice at all then & 2: We don't eat beef. We asked some Qs & found out it was because she wanted to breathe fire.

She grew up with a healthy skepticism about the world.

Me, just a wee smol Marine combat vet, watching any hugely popular WWII movie: Weird, that Nazi has my tattoo on his hat. I'm sure it's nothing, teehee.

I thought it may be interesting to see raw amethyst compared to amethyst after one week of tumbling in stage one grit (90 grit)

It's been a bit since I talked about the rock tumbling. I'm down to 1 barrel ATM & waiting on polishing compound to ship, so I'm running rocks I got for my bday #ErynRocks

Blessings from the kiln gods today! Great day in the pottery studio 😍 this has been a high failure glaze for people & I bought a whole dang jar so it's a relief it came out!

My pieces from the raku pottery class.

Fire! Fire!

Had my raku pottery class! My husband was awesome & took photos. I'm in the blue flannel over my overalls, putting the lids on the combustibles cans, which sounded like the least fiery job but was the most fiery!
