Found this lovely hand thrown vase at a thrift store today! The sodium silicate crackle with purple glaze is striking on the buff-colored clay. Top and inside of vase is clear glazed. The only potter's mark is a barefoot stamp. Does anyone recognize the maker?

Throwback to 1992: Me standing in front of my most favorite car that I've ever owned, a 1967 Plymouth Fury III convertible. This picture was taken at a company classic car show. I still miss that car!

Found this cool looking Hall teapot at a thrift store a couple of years ago. I love the shape of it, and the deep cobalt blue glaze seems to glow. Hall was acquired by Homer Laughlin China Co., now known as the Fiesta Tableware Company.

Happy Gotcha Day to our sweet little Siri!

This picture was taken the day we brought her home on March 3, 2013. She and I had an instant bond that endures to this day. She can usually be found cradled in my left arm when I'm on the computer. Love you, Siri! 😻

Balinese kitten cuddling with her owner. She came with the name Siri, but the strange thing is that when our prior cat Binky passed away, we talked about getting another cat, and one of the names I was thinking of calling her was Siri - no joke! It was fate that brought us together! P.S. She is curled up in my left arm as I type this! :-)

Found this cool Haeger vase at the thrift store today. It has an interesting peach glaze treatment that I haven't seen before. Original factory sticker and all!

Such a beautiful and sad song. It echoes what so many are feeling right now, me included. Still, Alison's voice is like a salve in a very frightening time.

This is a slip cast ceramic figure that I glazed in a turquoise speckled glaze sometime in the early 1990's. It sits in a display cabinet with some of my Fiesta pieces.

My first two wheel thrown pottery pieces after glaze firing. I think they turned out okay for a first try. I'm anxious to make more stuff on the wheel and hopefully get better at it!
