Pottery Love
There is an incredible potter in the town next to the one I grew up in. His name is Bill Campbell and he produces Campbell Pottery. His pieces are just beautiful. I also appreciate that they aren’t all just nice to look at - most are quite functional as well. For example, my mom’s everyday dishes are Campbell Pottery. Just eating your average pasta is a more beautiful experience because of those dishes.
I love to visit the studio and store, which are in an old house and barn that they have converted into an awesome space. You can see (and purchase) any number of Bill’s own pieces, but he also showcases the work of many other artists and craftsmen in his studio/store. When we visited in November, they had the most amazing miniature quilts available and I’ve been saving my pennies ever since!
We were also able to pick up a few new pieces at our November visit, thanks to the gifting generosity of some family and friends. The one below is my favorite, though my photos don’t even begin to do it justice. I’ll try to get some better photos of this one and the others and post those later. Enjoy!

Have you been to the signature store in Huntsville off of bob wallace and whitesburg? The have some beautiful stuff. I really can’t afford it, but it is nice to look at.
Beautiful. Hope you’re having an awesome new year.
I just popped in to see if you really had been as lame as me, or if you were trying to make me feel better that “mysterious absences were all the rage”…
Oh my word! I can’t think of a better, or more handsome reason to drop out of the blogiverse for a bit - young Declan is a beauty! Congrats! (I love the picture with both the boys - they’re both utterly lovely…)
xo!
