New items in Spring colours!

Spring colors for those of you in the US ;) I still now struggle with that concept. I know where you are dear readers, and I know that you mainly live in the US. And I also know that on some level you will think I have spelled words like colour and humour and enquiry incorrectly.... I hope you'll forgive what you might see as my poor spelling, and understand that we just spell some words differently to you!
Anyway... I digress.... I got all excited this week, because I saw my first snowdrop. I have one little snowdrop that clings on to life year after year when all the other ones I planted at the same time never made it past season one. And finally, this year, it has a little sibling - yes, two snowdrops! Sibling snowdrop is still in bud, but number one is in as full a flower as a dainty little snowdrop can manage, and this can mean only one thing - Spring is nearly here!!
Which brings me to my new glaze colour... I previewed it last week here, but there are finally a couple of items in my shop in this colour, and here's one of them - Birds of a feather wall art ceramics in springy lime glaze.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone reading had a lovely time. I love this time of year - out with the old and in with the new! I'm not one for going on short-lived detoxes, diets or gym memberships, but I do love returning to normal, maneageable workloads after crazy busy October-December, and then Christmas and New Year celebrations. I have been flat out this week, as I am completely out of stock of some items, and wholesale orders are still coming in. If there's something you've seen before Christmas that you'd like, please get in touch, as most items can be made to order in approx 4 weeks, sometimes more quickly.
The draw for the pottery lottery is nearly here too - I'm hoping to anounce the results tomorrow! Watch this space!

Anyway, before I sign off, I thought I would share this image of an unusual hydrangea that I took last year.

It might seem unseasonal, but it I love the cool pastel green tones, and it makes me feel optimistic and look forward to Spring. Bring on longer warmer days - winter's half way through and summer days will be here before we know it!

What an honour!

A big thank you to a very lovely lady for sharing this image of the bowls I made for her and her husband to use to carry their wedding rings on their wedding day. It really was a pleasure to make something specially for them, and an honour to make something of such importance to two lovely people. I wish them both every happiness in their lives together.


This photo is just wonderful. The colours make it feel so earthy and natural. It is a rare treat for me to see the items I sell in use!
Anyway, the lady herself is an etsy seller, and so I found myself having a look around her shop, The Bride Gene... She has some great items, and I particularly love these...

These are great big hanging pompoms, and are a snip at a teeny weeny $10 for a pack of three! They'd make magical decorations at a wedding, or would be dreamy in a little girl's bedroom. She makes them in a pretty choice of other colours too.
Last but not least this week - today is the first day of Spring! It is official, winter is over, summer's on its way, and very soon it will be flip flop weather - yay! I have made a new variation of my Spring chicken bowls to celebrate :)
These are available in my etsy ($) and folksy (£) shops. Readers of my blog will get a little free gift with any purchase until Easter. All you have to do to get yours is send me a message with your order mentioning my blog :)
Happy Spring!

There's something very sweet...

about mother hens and their broods. I can't wait to see little chicks following mum round the pond... It won't be long now!

Spring is nearly here!!!

And I cannot wait! To celebrate, I've been busy making some spring themed pots...a forget me not dish and a sweet garden dish...


I absolutely love it when the first flowers pop out in spring, and I've been cooing over narcissi and snow drops all week... The forget me nots won't be long, but I just couldn't wait for the real thing. All I have to wait for now is flip flop weather :)
