Thankful Thursday

Last week I received a package in the mail.

If you have ever ordered from Gary — and you really should, his pottery is wonderful! — you will recognize that I had a real treat opening the box. 🙂

2 cups and a creamer

These are what I ordered. It’s my early Mother’s Day gift. When I saw the glazing on these pieces over at Gary‘s blog, I couldn’t resist!

The lighting did not do this bowl justice. This is a gift for my friend ~T~ because she just had a birthday and because she is SnakeMaster’s “other mother.”  There’s a chocolate (or perhaps black) Lab puppy on the side of the bowl. ~T~ loves Labs! She has a house full of rescued Labs, plus a pretty awesome 4th grader (and his new turtle).

And then Gary also gave me this gift!

Laughing cow? Oh, yes…

A jumping over the moon cow mug, bespeckled in my favorite color: BLUE 😀

You rock, Gary!

I am thankful to be called your friend (and facebook cousin). 😀
