Re-kindling a love of pottery.

I've always loved pottery but found it so expensive to collect. I have recently discovered a few treasures in thrift shops so I think now I can start to hunt down some interesting pieces. I found this beautiful butter dish in a thrift shop in Almonte last week. The name of the artist is Ruth Swanson. She and William Mason own Sunspots Pottery in  Owen Sound. Here is their website.http://www.osartistsco-op.com/profiles/sunspots.html
It looks very comfy next to my bowl that I purchased from Empty Bowls in Perth, Ontario.

It is freezing cold today but the sun is shining bright.

Since putting my african violets in the center of my table they have rewarded me with beautiful blossoms.

They receive hours of sunlight here. 

You can see that we still have plenty of snow here in Ontario.

With a forecast of a colder March than usual it will be a long time getting rid of it.

Lily doesn't mind though. As long as she has her cat bed in the sun-puddle and plenty of wood stacked for the stove, she's a comfy cat. I just may join her.
