When we say handmade…

Sometimes I catch a glimpse of my hands and think, whose hands are those? After years of working clay with our hands, they have aged a bit more rapidly than the rest of our bodies. (At 68 our bodies are definitely starting to show signs of wear too…) Our hands have served us well, making countless pieces of pottery, glazing, loading and unloading kilns, packing and shipping. When we send a piece to you, we are sending a part of ourselves. We send them with a mindfulness that life isn’t always easy, we hope that when you use our pottery, whether for drinking your morning cup of coffee, serving a meal on our dinnerware, or mixing a bowl of batter for baking, that our pottery is a bright spot in your life every time you use it.

We send you good vibes, peace, and love from two old potters,

Sometimes life takes courage

I am a bouncer, I can’t stay down for long, I will come flying right back up. I am not sure who taught me that. If I had to choose I would say my Dad. He always had love to give and jokes to tell.

I am reading a book this week about choosing joy. Let’s do it. Let’s choose joy. When saying goodbye to loved ones, remember the joy they brought you. When your body aches and doesn’t move as easily as it used to, remember the miles and adventures it has been on. When your sandwich comes on rye instead of…who am I kidding I would have to send it back, realizing what a first world problem that is. So maybe I would find joy in the fact that if that is my biggest problem my life is pretty sweet.

Peace, love, and hope.

Blog Post Title Three

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
