A friend took me for a ride today and we had many laughs and a really nice time together during the trip. The Creek Road Pottery was the destination. I needed more bowls. I came home with two more soup bowls and another bread baker! I got to meet the potter's mother, Nancy, a lovely woman and receptionist at the pottery sales/display barn. There were other artists there as well with their art and it was a wonderful morning for me.
I say I needed more bowls. Of course that means that I wanted more bowls. The first two I bought a while ago are perfect for soup, cereal or ice cream but I wanted two more just a tiny bit larger. Got 'em! I also got another little bread baker and now we can have larger stews and meals served in them as well as baking the breads.
I would tell you that if you never have had a hand-crafted kiln fired and glazed bowl, you are missing out on a special feeling when you hold and use it. The best part is that the potter himself is a very nice man who bends over backwards to please and is a true artist in every meaning of the word. Lucky me! Affordable art!
Awesome Buys!! And a day out with a friend...good day all around.
ReplyDeleteThanks sooo much for stopping! It was a real surprised for sure as that wind was soo cold. Very nice seeing you and I always enjoy chatting. Mom had a nice time also and enjoyed being the greeter. She worked until nap time!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful bowls! I do have a few pieces of similar pottery but could always use more. Does your potter do online sales?
