yay for jenny cartee pottery!


you may notice the link at right for jenny cartee pottery. my friend jenny is very cool. we've known each other nearly our entire lives. she makes way cool pottery. here are some shots of my collection, including my new plates.

seen here, cool candle sticks, bowls, beer mugs and my new plates. yay!






here are some serving pieces, bowls, platter, honey pot, covered casserole and a wine chiller. cool antique buffet courtesy of maw maw and paw paw stewart. cool tapestry from my trip to l.a.





this is my kitchen sink. not all this stuff is piled up in the window at once, but i was trying to be concise, all this stuff is in my kitchen. in the far left of the window is a tall vase that jenny friend gave me for my birthday, then a small lidded thingy to keep my corse salt in, a few bud vases, salt and pepper shakers, my way coolio butter dish and my garlic keeper. the soap dispenser is a jenny piece too, i like lemon scented soap in the kitchen so jenny made me a big lemon to keep my soap in... aw.



this is called, fall still life. this is a special piece, a vintage treadaway piece. before jenny got married last october, she was jenny treadaway. she made me this piece for throwing her a bridal shower and bachelorette party and being in her wedding. i heart this bowl. to celebrate fall, i filled it with indian corn, a little pumpkin and some fun colored squash varieties. the bottom is full of rosemary out of the yard, so it smells yummy too.

some might say that all of this is frivolous, but its really not. jenny is a strong believer in making pottery that is for use everyday. i eat and drink off of my pottery everyday. i have several other mugs and cups that aren't shown. all of her pottery is food-safe, microwave, oven, freezer, frige and dishwasher safe. it makes every day special, and makes me very happy. yay!

i know, i know, i'm a horrible person. i do heart halloween themed festivities, i even looked on foodnetwork.com for fun ideas. what's even sadder is that i have a big bucket of candy already sitting by the front door, but i wont be home for trick or treaters... at least until 9pm or so. i suppose i could do something over the weekend... i'm supposed to go salsa dancing with mccamy tonight, we'll see. its hard to compete with all of the big city festivities.

ok, now it just sounds like i am making excuses... but if i was, then i'd mention that its also grandmother's 75th birthday, and she demands a party!
