Winter Thoughts

After the flurry of activities that surrounded the holidays, we took a couple of much needed days off. It’s quiet in the Village of Peninsula, population 602. Perhaps this is due, in part, to the incessant rain we’ve had. This has, thus far, been the winter of mud.We have been working to develop new glazes, and we have both been working on new designs and new pieces. There are so many things we want to explore, and winter is a good time to do that.

The Cuyahoga Valley is a beautiful place in any season. If you have the opportunity, plan a visit to our amazing Valley. You can Explore Peninsula, visit the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and ride the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.

This is a time of new things: a new year, new ideas and a new spam filter here. Thank you for your patience as I figured out how to resolve the posting problem everyone has experienced. Thanks—try again–it should work now.

One day last week, we had one of those picture perfect sunsets, the kind about which poets and artists dream. Take a look at what I saw in my town:

As always, please feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone (o), to let me know you’ve stopped by. And, if you are so inclined, wander over to My Town Monday, and see what others have to say about the places they call home.

This has been quite a year—another one. We’ve had our share of challenges, and have, I hope, grown because of, as well as in spite of them. 2011 was the year we continued to learn about patience, gratitude, kindness, and love.

These skilled hands wish you and yours a new year filled with love and light, peace and joy, art and music.

We will celebrate our first Candlelight Walk on Thursday, December 1, from 5-9pm. Stroll through this beautiful historic Village, listen to carolers, enjoy light refreshments, see the lights and see what we have to offer. Explore Peninsula!

In the Village of Peninsula, population 602, you can have whatever color Friday you’d like. We are small businesses—micro businesses actually—and when you support us, you support your neighbors and friends.

Yesterday, I asked people what color their Friday was. Seems we had a rainbow in here. Just like I thought.

We’ve already delivered our tree. Take a look at what we’ve done this year. All the ornaments are one of a kind, made from porcelain clay. Then wander over to My Town Monday and see what other folks have to say about the places they call home.

As always, please feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone (o), to let me know you’ve stopped by.
