A round of up this week (swipe to see the world's biggest carrier bag and my sheer joy on finding it).

Not in order of days

- OUTSTANDING MEAL at the new Number 5 restaurant in Wirksworth. Also papping our pots on display there.
- Lots of chickens for opening this Saturday.
- We are smashing through our entire ground floor to be a giant kitchen. I went mad with an SDS.
- sheep at my auntie babbs
- spring smells
- MASSIVE GIANT CARRIER BAG
- tea and cake at the world famous auntie babbs
- And to round it off, an extremely poorly tiny dog. She has torn ligaments in her hip and a bruised pelvis joint. She's completely out of action for the foreseeable but that time is spent smothered in love under an electric blanket.

We will be adding these little ceramic chicken decorations to our shop soon!

Feeling extremely spring like painting these in the outstanding weather yesterday!

This week. It's been full of dog bowls and me looking like a mushroom in the pottery studio.

We sent out 35 pet bowls this week of all different shapes and sizes. These are becoming super popular and we're glad because it's one of our favourite items!

I've also learnt that my hats big enough to stretch over my head phones which keeps the noise of the blunger out and my head warm. All at the cost of my looking like a mushroom.

And final shots are us validating a new clay! Just checking it's all water tight without glaze, making it super robust.

Trials all went well and it also means we're going to create a whole new colour range. (At least one, potentially more).

It's time for a refresh seeing as it's spring.

"Sun" & swipe for kitty visitor.

We actually put pots outside yesterday to dry until I went into the farm house for lunch and came outside and it was raining 🤦🏼‍♀️. Oh well, even the satisfaction of drying outside for an hour or so was delicious.

For everyone waiting on pet bowls, they are incoming. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Rowan's cat, Pip, popped in to just romp around meowing for a bit. This cat meows 97% of its life. The other bit is he's asleep. Sometimes meows in sleep. He meows a lot.

Meow. 🐆

This is not a drill. One day left to GUARANTEE delivery in time for Christmas.

From tomorrow, it gives us 3 weeks to make, 1 week to deliver. This is obviously if everything takes it's maximum length to do.

You obviously can continue to order, but we can't guarantee, whereas before tomorrow you will absolutely get it.

Order on our website, order on Etsy, drop us a DM. We don't mind but after tomorrow it's rolling those christmassy dice.

Big love.

💛

Does anyone have any bubble wrap they want rid of? The pottery is happy to recycle it to prevent landfill. It can either be dropped in our porch or we can sort collecting it.
