Brighten someone's day

Hi everyone, 

Crazy times. I just wanted to let people know that Funkware Pottery (me) still can ship a frog mug to any of your friends and family who don’t already have one. I’m thinking it could be a good option for a birthday or other occasion now that we’re in stay at home mode. Maybe something just to brighten someone’s day. I’m also ready and able to make any sort of pottery gift so please keep me in mind.

Send me an email, funkwarepots@yahoo.com, or call, 860-933-1101.

Here’s hoping everyone stays well and we get through this quickly.

Hi Joey!

Thanks so much. 

Our wedding website is ameliaandwilliam.weddingjojo.com.

We raise grass fed beef, pork, goat and chicken on our 30 acre farm in Sheffield, MA. We're both Sheffield natives, following the farming tradition of our grandparents and great grandparents.  

Our farm website is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Skyviewfarmsheffield.

Thanks again Joey!

Amelia

We are jumping to Puerto Rico!

We are going to the Siddhia Hutchinson Fine Art Gallery in Vieques, PR.

Oops. I'm supposed to be making frog mugs right now. : )

Just a little creative diversion...

How about this Birdfeeder?

First we'll see how the birds like it.

We'll test it out on our terrace and let you all know...

Sicilia inspirations

In March Bernie and I returned to Sciacca a small port city in Sicilia, Italia known for its ceramics, fresh seafood and carnevale.

You can follow our adventures on our blog at http://globalhomesicilia.blogspot.com/2014/02/returning-to-sicilia_5.html. Use the "Newer Post" link at the bottom of each page to go to the next page in order of appearance.

This time there was a full course of Carnevale!

We also had a wonderful time meeting, visiting and touring around with our Sicilian famiglia. 

Bernie's grandfather was born in Cianciana Sicilia. This photo is of his cousins and aunt and uncle. They were so very welcoming, loving and generous to us.

And of course there was pottery...

I'll be adding some links soon to pages with some of the ceramics we saw during our trip. There are so many ceramic artists in Sicilia! From the ancient Greeks to the  Romans and from the traditional to the ultra modern.

More to come...

Fun in class!
