A simple tree this year. It’s a white paper tree with blue lights and red and gold ornaments. The red bulbs with a tree and angel motif were on my first tree as an adult. There were six but now have only 5. Only about 43 years ago. The hearts with angels are cross stitch ornaments that I made myself from a simple kit back in the mid 1980’s.

Folk art cat lovers hand made gifts. ring dish with cat sitting on a red rug. for just $20.0 A black and white tuxedo cat sitting on a red rug who will captured your heart. A majolica glazed, square tray, to use as a ring dish or treat tray. Whimsical hand made pottery for gift giving to your cat loving friends. Lovely hand painted majolica tray is food safe, yet beautiful for display on your wall, book shelf or coffee table. Sold individually and only 2 left. 3.5"across, 3.75" top to bottom, .75" sitting on table Each piece of pottery is made in my front porch studio. Though small I make it work, but I make in stages. I fill a bisque kiln with green ware, raw dried clay. Once the greenware has gone through a bisque fire and removed from kiln the studio is cleaned up as I prepare to hand dip each piece. I can only dip as many as I have room for, so I may dip a part of the bisque ware at the time and as pieces are finished with painting and put in kiln in wait for the glaze fire, I will then glaze more. When the kiln is full I glaze fire this takes approximately 10 hours plus time to cool, because I like to warm up everything for about 6 hours before raising the temps. I use materials that are food safe, you may want to hand wash as I cannot guarantee their outcome in a dish washer.
