The most boring person on the face of the planet. Aspiring potter. Likes cheese. Collector of things - mainly Fiesta, McCoy and Haeger pottery, vintage/antique clocks, midcentury lamps, and shiny things.

Thank you. 😊 She's a Balinese, which is basically a long-haired Siamese with a big fluffy tail.

Found this lovely hand thrown vase at a thrift store today! The sodium silicate crackle with purple glaze is striking on the buff-colored clay. Top and inside of vase is clear glazed. The only potter's mark is a barefoot stamp. Does anyone recognize the maker?

Oh yes, in the crate it's a completely different story. Whenever we have to evacuate for hurricanes, she will yowl non-stop the entire time we're in the car. Last time, because of traffic, that went on for 3 1/2 hours. Each way.

Thank you! She's not as vocal as some Siamese, but she gets her point across. She trills a lot when she's happy, which is most of the time. She's a real sweetheart.

Thank you! I still have the original window price sticker from the used car lot I bought it from. I paid $3,250 for it in 1985. Seems weird to think that the car was only 18 years old at the time. That would be like buying a 2007 car now and thinking that it's a classic. LOL

Thank you very much! I have already bought a used wheel and kiln and now need to carve out some space in the house to set up a little studio. 😊

I love a good Father Ted reference! 😊

Definitely! You could tell from a distance whether it was a Plymouth or a Buick or a Chevy. Now everything looks pretty much the same. Bonus - you could actually work on them yourself!

Throwback to 1992: Me standing in front of my most favorite car that I've ever owned, a 1967 Plymouth Fury III convertible. This picture was taken at a company classic car show. I still miss that car!

Ah, thank you! That is indeed what it's called. Looks like it was first produced in 1940.

@aquavirago.bsky.social Do you have any further insight into this teapot? I'm not really sure what the line is called or when it was produced and thought you might know some more about it.

Found this cool looking Hall teapot at a thrift store a couple of years ago. I love the shape of it, and the deep cobalt blue glaze seems to glow. Hall was acquired by Homer Laughlin China Co., now known as the Fiesta Tableware Company.

My friend lives on Whidbey Island and texted me this morning to tell me that they felt it there too.

Happy Gotcha Day to our sweet little Siri!
This picture was taken the day we brought her home on March 3, 2013. She and I had an instant bond that endures to this day. She can usually be found cradled in my left arm when I'm on the computer. Love you, Siri! 😻

Another cool thrift store find. I really love the leaf design and #glaze combination.

It's true. They all seem to be falling in line for some reason. Target is especially upsetting to me. We are lucky that we still have Costco and Aldi nearby, but some things we need are not available at either one.

It saddens me to find out that so many places that we've shopped at for years are feeding the negative forces in this country. I'd say we've cut out spending $ at 75% of those places. No one can do it perfectly - just do what you can. Even small efforts taken collectively will make a difference.

I have an almost identical stack of them myself. 😊
