A Sneak Peak!


Just thought I would give you all a sneak peak at our works for our annual Spring Open House here at Indian Trail Pottery.



We've been crazy busy here trying to get lots of goodies made, and so far, I think we're doing pretty good, but these last 2 1/2 weeks are about to get even crazier!


Here are some pottery pieces in the works;






I'm not going to show them all since we have a few surprises planned for you, but here are just a few more! ;)







I'm working on some fun things too~ penny mats, garlands, wax items, prim eggs, and other fun things!



Our Open House is Friday through Sunday, April 1st- April 3rd. We would love to see you if you are in our area. If your interested and want to know more or in need of directions, please email me at: miller5@epix.net.
You don't want to miss it....lots of new fun things!

A Sure Spring!

I've finally found some sure signs of spring...it is truely coming friends...with only about 10 days to go on the calendar, I've found real proof in the earth's soil that it is planning to arrive!




I took these pictures of the flowers pushing through on Saturday....on Sunday, it snowed about 4 inches! LOL!!! What a sense of humor the good Lord has! :)



And since spring is definitely coming, here at Indian Trail Pottery, we are going to make sure all those new birdies will have plenty of homes to find.




These are our Bird Bottles. They hang horizontally from a screw hole on the base of the bottle, with the stick being a perch for the birdie to then hop into the bottle. They are perfect to have on a porch, shed, deck, barn....anywhere you want to house some birdies!





This is also a new color that we have introduced on our bird bottle...SEA GREEN! It's a mist of blues and greens like the Caribbean waters! Very soothing!
We have a bounty of bird houses and bird bottles (shown) in the works. Will show the bird houses when they are finished.




Now, you remember the forsythia branches I was forcing this past weekend? Well, this is what greeted us this morning:



What a wonderful touch of spring on this very rainy day!





Happy Day Friends!

Spring Swap!




Well, I'm still thinking spring....but snow came anyway to our area on Sunday evening! The good thing about a March snow is, it melts quick! The sun shone all day yesterday and a lot of it is gone already....but boy, no one saw that coming!

So, to keep my mindset on spring, it is time that I show you some of the most wonderful, adorable, and terrificly smelling tarts that I got from Dana!

~So precious!





If you've nevered ordered anything from Dana~ now is the time! Treat yourself to some of her new spring pieces! Her scents are absolutely wonderful, and she has the most adorable bowl filler and tart designs.






Beautiful honeysuckly flowers....I now have these displayed on a tray...forgot to take a pic. of that.

Thanks so much Dana! I love them all, and they are all scattered throughout the house to help welcome spring at this snowy cabin!

Have a great Tuesday!

Spring Acorns!



You all know how much I love these adorable woolie acorns, right?




Well, I couldn't let a season go by without having some acorns to help dress up the spring and Easter season.





Acorns in pastels, your thinking? But, when they're this cute, how could you go wrong...




I'm also trying to bring in some of the first cut flowers for the year by forcing some of my forsythia.




I had to string up some acorns on these branches for a unique display...






*For anyone interested in purchasing some acorn ornies, they sell $2. each or 13 for $24. Email me at: miller5@epix.net.

Have a very enjoyable weekend friends!
