Hi Joey:
I am having an Holiday Pottery Sale at my in home studio/galleria this coming weekend, Saturday, Dec 7th and Sunday, Dec 8th, from 11-5, and was hoping you would post this invite for me. This year my wonderful husband Steve built a studio for me in our home, where I make and fire pottery, and then he created a cozy gallery to showcase my pots.
I am mostly making functional pottery such as mugs, bowls, berry bowls, and more bowls, ornaments, vases and of course more bowls …LOL, however, I have also started making wall art that includes local fish, such as cod, red fish, flounder and haddock, and religious wall crosses. Guess I have no idea where this will all take me, but I am having a good time with it. I hope you stop by also…
Thanks

This Sunday Dec 8th at the Lanesville Community Ctr on Vulcan St from 3:30 – 4:30 PM, I’m hosting a free holiday book launch party for Before This Song Ends: A Timeless Romance. Sales will benefit the LCC. The story features a fishing trip out of Gloucester Harbor, where love is on the line, and a message by John H. Hammond Jr sets the tone for a mystical journey. This interview tells more about the book, (starting at 12:55). For those who can’t make the party, stop into The Bookstore for a copy.
The flyer is attached — thanks! Amy
