Friday 1

Friday 2

Friday 3 

Earlier this week I bought a copy of the British magazine Lula from my local bookshop, because I noticed there was an interview with Joanna Newsom. (It's a great magazine otherwise though- beautiful photography especially.) I've been obsessively listening to J.N's latest album, Have One on Me. It's dreamy and rich, and I feel that I won't ever be bored of it. To me, the lyrics read like poetry and there's more to uncover in them with each listen…. like an archaelogist brushing away fine layers of earth each time to see what's underneath.

I found the little jug in the last photo at the Recycling Centre which is really like the rubbish tip. It's the perfect size for milk, it's grey with navy-blue markings. I like thinking about the person who carefully made it.

    I love her new album too. Your archaeologist description is so apt. I read the interview too, and I thought it was fascinating – it was also really long and in depth!

    I love stopping by your blog, it’s so peaceful and pleasant…all the little connections, this beautiful thing you noticed here and that beautiful thing there that it inspired you to make. All of the fantastic, mundane, everyday, marvelous things that so many people take for granted. thank you for sharing.

    Yes, I also enjoy using pottery functionally throughout my day – my drinking mug is handmade by someone locally and I just love the feel.

    Hi Melissa
    I love that little vase with the blue splotches, and the dish with the soap.
    I have given you an award. I know you don’t accept them, but I listed you in hopes that more people will come visit to see all the magnificent projects that you make and sell.
    Hugs
