......The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen Fair......and there I met Michele. It was so much fun meeting a fellow blogger. We had so much to talk about that I went back again and hung around while she was doing a throwing demo at New Hampshire Potters Guild tent. It would be so much fun if more of us could get together.....potters talk dirt!
I had to buy this mug from her partner in crime Jeff Brown. I should have a photo of the shirt I was wearing yesterday when I was drinking morning tea from it (the mug, not the shirt). It's almost the same green. It's not only a delight to the eye but pleasant to hold and use. It's definitely a keeper!

I also bought a mug by Rob Cartelli. His work is new to me. I love the simple elegance of his designs.

And I bought another mug by Eleanora Eden. I have mugs of hers with a black background. This is the first I have seen the iris and the light background.

When I got home to R.I. I went through some of my boxes of mugs that I have not unpacked since selling my other house. And LOOK WHAT I FOUND! This is one of Jeff's mugs dated '99. Gosh, do you think I like his greens?
