Do motherhood and art go together? Is there any room in the life of a home-schooling, bread-baking, business- owning mom, to be an artist? No. But that's not going to stop me.

We had a great time today at the festival. One of the best things about it is seeing everyone there. I had a few sales and even a couple of store owners asking about having my pots in their stores. Carly stayed and helped me all day. It was great having her there to help me.
Me, standing behind my displays. I tried to make them colorful and interesting. Everyone commented most on my little plastic artichoke candles! I could have sold a dozen of them!
Pollocksville Pottery Festival!

I've been working like a production potter getting ready for the Pollocksville Pottery Festival. Mark your calendar for Sat, Nov 13, Bell Plantation, Hwy 58, towards Trenton. If you don't need pottery, buy a gift for someone else. This year, buy everything hand-crafted made in America and support the arts!
First and Foremost, I am a Christian. There are days when I sure don't live up to the name. I am also privileged to be married to my best friend and first love, Chris. We have four children, or should I say, 1 adult, 2 younger adults, and Ethan, who is still a child. We own and operate the best art store in North Carolina, Art &Materials and Ballantyne Framing. I make and sell pottery, teach pottery classes, merchandise the windows and design displays.Oh, I also help with other miscellaneous stuff like writing the monthly newsletter, art birthday parties, publicity and advertising and...I think that's it.
