Decoration Day and Loading the Bisque

I had a great day decorating pots.  I am getting ready for my Holiday Sale and the Hen House Sale.

Here is a pic I took when I was getting started this morning.

And a bit of video as I was finishing up.

I have several boards of plates to go as well as mugs.  Those will be in the next bisque along with those platters.  Okay off for now.  Be sure to check out the Online Store if you haven't in a few days.  There is some nice work on there.

Hope everyone has a good Friday evening.

Getting ready for the Carolina Pottery Festival this Saturday.

Chapel Hill

The campus of the University of North Carolina campus is beautiful this time of year.

Pillow fights break out from time to time.

I visited the Ackland Art Museum and saw this amazing Persian bowl

I thought of Gay when I saw this

Of course it was such a beautiful day that we had to have some Ice Cream.
