and Strawberry Jello Pretzel Salad Recipe

December 7,2024. This fall I sculpted more than working on the potter’s wheel due to a broken arm I enjoyed making miniature clay houses. I delivered the houses and two winter oil paintings to South Water Manor yesterday. These houses and paintings will be available for sale in my Ravin’ Studio Pottery booth upstairs through December 25th. .Thursday December 11th they will be open until 8:00. I encourage you to visit the South Water Manor to see the beautifully decorated mansion in the theme of ” It’s a Wonderful Life”. Also, you”re in for a treat with their breakfast and lunch menu. This will be my last month as a vendor, so I encourage you to purchase anything you might plan to go back for later. I have many functional pottery items that would make great gifts.,such as a microwave bacon cooker, an apple baker, a chip and dip bowl, a spoon holder and a yarn bowl. Also, I have five Tennessee Tristar coffee mugs, an item that goes quickly. I am going to post photos of the shelves in my pottery booth.

The maroon mug in the last photo on the right has a snail sculpture that hangs on the lip of the mug. You can coil the string of a tea bag on his horns, so that your tea bag does not fall in the tea. You’ve got to see him!
