Glazed

I missed an exhibition of one of my favourite potters when I was travelling a couple of month's back. I sent a friend to buy a piece for me, and this is it. It's a lovely bowl.

Mug Tree

One of the potters at today's Potters Market tied his mugs onto a wooden frame to make a sort of Christmas tree display. It looked really cute. I bought two gorgeous white mugs - exactly what I was looking for!

Cool Cuppa

Had such a busy day at work today I missed my afternoon cup of tea... so first thing I did when I got home was put on the kettle! Tea tastes especially good when you're dying for a cup, and when you have it out of a pretty new mug.
