I got incredibly lucky...

I won a contest on Cheryl's blog. She offered up any number of gorgeous knitted items, but then remembered how much I liked her pottery, so she offered me a piece of that. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How lucky could I get? As much as I love other people's knits, a piece of handmade pottery is so special.
She showed me some pieces she had, and I fell in love with a bowl. I love the pure simplicity of the shape, and the lovely glaze, and the next thing I knew, this wonderful bowl was leaving it's birthplace of Sunny Southern California to take up residence in Canada. In February.

 

 

 

 

Lucky Bowl. Well, I'm not sure the bowl feels lucky, but I sure do. I introduced the bowl to it's new home in a truly Canadian way - during a light snow.

It's real home will be in my dining room or living room, both of which have dark green walls.

(Colours are SO off here - overcast days, unnatural light and green walls that refuse to be photographed true to life.)

I see it overflowing with pale pink peony blooms from my garden, come spring...
