20 years of the Pottery Tour

Last weekend, Mother's Day weekend, was the 20th year for the Pottery Tour. We have gone to it the past 7 years or so and it always proves to be a fun time. Only 45 minutes north on 35E from us, there are about 5 farms that host many different potters' art work from MN as well as many other states. This was the first year Faustina will probably remember it and she seemed to appreciate the art and, thankfully (!), she was careful with it as she looked at it. It was a gorgeous day. Bob Briscoe is probably the biggest display and they have an amazing array of delicious foods to eat for everyone, a keg of beer, and a band playing. He probably is my favorite potter. Everyone loves to see babies, so of course Benedict was a hit. And Faustina arrived sporting her dance outfit which cannot help but catch a person's eye since it is bright yellow!

Here we are at Will Swanson's farm (he is the potter sitting on the bench with Faustina and Jude). He always has little rabbits and animals for the kids to pet.

Here are a few pieces we got. We needed a few more bowls.

And then my hot pads were getting pretty grungy, so we knew we would get a lot of use out of this trivet.
