frontporchvintageemporium is hosting their Fall Preview this Saturday from 10–5. If you’re ready for a break from the summer heat, it’s a great chance to enjoy a little taste of fall! I dropped off a small batch of fresh pumpkins for the occasion and will be adding more soon. 🎃

Pumpkins! 🎃

I've been a little quiet on here lately, but it's because I've been busy making more pumpkins than ever before. Seriously, I’m running out of room over here!

If you're an early bird shopper, Mark and Meredith have just what you're looking for. Stop by and check them out!

I’m so grateful for Dana and everyone who’s played a role at Uwharrie Mercantile, and for all they’ve done to create such a beloved gathering space for our community. 🫶

This will forever be my favorite spot to enjoy my morning coffee. ❤️❤️

Uwharrie Mercantile is well stocked on handmade mugs and if you want to check out more of my work you can find it across the street at Front Porch Vintage Emporium. I’m having a summer sale on all pots and earrings.

Check it out during TroyFest! 🫶

These cheerful spring mugs and many happy pumpkins are on their way to Georgia! You can find them in the Village Pottery at every Saturday and Sunday, April 11 through May 31.

I’ve been exploring several new designs based on critters I’m seeing around the studio and am excited to start sending them out into the world.

Fresh pots will be arriving in North Carolina soon as well. In the meantime, I hope you’re enjoying the season—getting outside, taking in the blooms, and soaking up a little sunshine. ☀️

Soft winter lighting, hearty meals, and a little extra quiet this season. I’ve been soaking it all in… but don’t get it twisted, I’m still behind the scenes working hard and looking forward to a busy year ahead!

If you’re looking to gift a loved one (or yourself) with thoughtfully made treasures this month, I’ve got you covered at .

Grateful for the slower winter pace and the continued support always 🤍
