ash fired, beautiful, japanese inspired, irregular, made by real hands. however you spell it, there is something truly magical about dirt someone turns into such goodness.
the cup is by huebner pottery., soon to be living within arms reach. how could i pass this up for ten dollars?
stuff has to come from somewhere. next magical moment will be brought to you by one of my many friends who make beautiful goodness out of sheep fur.
sometimes it's nice to work on the weekend, since that means monday you can kinda slack. today i planted 2 lavenders, mint, 2 oreganos, and some weird succulent that just appeared on a pile of rocks (into the container with the oregano). i cleaned the tub, i paid some bills, i got my tire fixed, got some shit done.
also, monkeybaby has been on a cranky rampage. not sure if it's the age (14 months-ish) or just cranky or teething or just the direction of the wind.
oh, and I got some stuff. went thrifting for 15 minutes while out and about. i got a lovely mccoy planter (and oddly skipped the mccoy bowl i found in pristine condition - it was small and i wasn't sure if i would use it for anything) and a couple of franciscan teacups/saucers that are uber fab, and a very funny ceramic bowl thing by Julia A, P5. I think the teacups may be a gift for someone - just not sure who. they are so great and lovely and were nearly free. mmm goodies. pictures eventually.
