my mother passed down this pottery love to me…
I always love it too now!
and when you pass by something like this on the country roads you have to stop! and buy lots of pottery!

when there is a square dance fest on Main Street… it’s a sign to get dancing! We dosie doed with the best of them! You can’t hold back when you have kids… you have to dance… even if it means in the middle of Main Street in front of strangers you don’t know… but teaching my girls that having fun means being free… just feels right!

as an artist… I fell in love with Ashville… truly!
It was so cool! an artist colony in this gem was fantastic! We met so many amazing artists that opened their galleries up to us like we were old friends!
