A lot of the pottery made in Maine uses clay from Blue Hill -- the color of the unfired clay. It fires into a light grey or tan. I like to go to the craft fairs every year. I get all my serving dishes from local potters. They add so much to the beauty of the table.

Wow! I would love some of them, (fingers and toes crossed).
I don't know why but I've had a passion for all things 'Maine' for as long as I can remember:roll: In fact I just received a windbell made in Maine from a little shop over here called the Bluebery Store, it's full of all things American.

Hi everyone:
I am sorry that I have not been on the board for a little while. My brother has cancer and I have been going back and forth to Jacksonville to spend as much time with him as I can and to help out my sister-in-law who is exhausted. This past Sunday September 4th they had to take him to Hospice. I do not want him left alone at all, so I am staying with him in the room all night. We don’t know how long he has but I will be with him as long as it takes. I brought my laptop with me and finally got organized enough to use it. I will check in as much as I can. GOD bless you all!!
Blessings!
Carole
