cheese boards

pine boughs in the snow

a winter wonderland

We are in Maine for the holiday.  This is the view out our front windows....everything is covered in a blanket of snow.  The tree is up and decorated.  Cookies have arrived from my in-laws , along with German chocolate fudge from my parents.  We're planning our holiday menus and looking forward to time spent reading by the wood stove.  Wishing you the happiest of holidays!

cricket and the rose

I took these photos a couple of weeks ago when I cut the last two roses from our rose bush in Brooklyn.   Today, while the wind chill seems to be close to zero degrees here in NYC, I thought it would be a good day to post these photos to remind me of a warmer day.

newest work: aqua, teal, white, seaweed and ocean

My newest batch of pieces have just been unloaded from the kiln.  Requests to buy my ceramics have been pouring in and I'm happily overwhelmed with the response!  As a result,  I've decided that I will start selling my work a little sooner than I originally planned.  I'll be aiming for the beginning of February and will keep you posted here when they are available.  For many reasons (mostly my sanity!) I'll only be selling them in small batches on my online store.  If you would like to receive an update for the day I post pieces for sale please sign up for my mailing list on here, or on my  website elephant ceramics.  Again, I'd like to thank everyone for their lovely comments and support!
