My friend Lainie and I were out and about on Saturday, we had some definite errands to run but both of us spied a "pottery sale today" sign about the same time and went HMMMMMMMMMMMM. So after of our scheduled stops, off we went to find this sale. We drove and drove and drove down a pretty country road, but no pottery sale signs. I finally said well it mustve been LAST weekend or something ! We started looking for a place to turn around and another "pottery sale today" sign was spotted ! We happily turned in... it was a winding dirt road, in fact so winding that I started humming the banjo song to deliverance. Finally we spotted a garden, guarded by a nice post top
We got out to see that he was also guarding some tasty raspberries
Then we spotted a nice metal flower in the woods
Our next site was the LOVELY pottery studio ! Oh it was so cute ! I was just in love with the building. The potter was there, Cora Willow, who was renting the space from a friend. I think shes done a wonderful job with the place, not to mention I loved her pottery.
I bought this piece, it was a second but I still liked it. I also bought another piece but I cant post it here, because its a gift for my sister and she will read my blog :)

What a great find! It's fine to come across treasures like that when you least expect it.
your pictures are so beautiful, and thank you for your kind words. i have just moved from that space and on to create a new studio in saxapahaw - watch for the signs!

Nice photographs! That was a good find following those country roads. I purchased 4 dinner plates & cereal bowls that match the pattern of the lovely big bowl! Cora Willow is a talented, imaginative potter and I wish her best of luck in the new space over in Saxapahaw.
