I’m Minnesotan. Lived here all my life except for a stint in the military as a lad. I’m of this place. Masked killers cannot break us. And if our hearts break they can be mended and stronger still. Rest in peace Renee Good and Alexi Pretti
I’ll be making more of these handmade mugs. The clay is mixed, thrown and fired here.
I’m pledging $10 from every sale will be donated to Open Door. $40 total cost, if you’re interested, which includes shipping within the continental US. May take me 6-8 weeks to make and I’ll make these exact two color combinations though the brown one on the right may have to change due to glaze availability. PM me if interested saying left or right and with email (to receive Paypal link) and shipping address
To quote our friend TR Shultz from a book he’s reading: ‘In general, we keep our power when we protect the power of others.’

Ok. I’m getting older. I can’t figure out who ordered this tankard before the holidays. Please message me if this was for you
I can’t seem to pull it from my folder of special orders nor older messages. I recall you ordered another piece before the holidays. Sigh (to be fair it has been a loooong winter in Minnesota and stuff…)
