My version of Holly Jolly

 

I was greeted as I came through the door "Hi Barbara Rogers!" One of my old friends thus introduced me to everyone else. I'd spent 12 years as a member of the Community Clay Studio there, so I did know a lot of people!

Loved these outside decorations. I didn't go through all the shops which stayed open late, offering free drinks and cookies in lots of them. I had had a full day and was running out of steam.

A favorite flower which keeps showing up everywhere!

Friend, Fred Feldman made the "don't sit on me chair." He has worked in wood for many years, after retiring as a ceramics teacher...and now makes some clay things still.

There were many beautiful pottery objects for sale in the downstairs auditorium. And then the upstairs gallery had a great show of student's work. I'll feature that over on Alchemy of Clay for the next few days.

Today's quote: 

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, 

while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
