"weathering Florence..."

  While, North Carolina is no stranger to hurricanes, they make for a pesky deterrent when we are only about a month away from the 15th Annual Hilton Homeplace Pottery Sale.   I had sort of planned for the next 5 weeks to be filled with as much pottery as possible (nothing like last minute, huh?)  But Florence has put a "damper" on that plan, ha!  (pun most certainly intended!)  With a Category 4 hurricane headed straight for us, it looks like my efforts will need to be placed in the jewelry making portions of prep. 

  Even without power, I can make jewelry by the candlelight, ha!  One of the new ideas I had this year was to create essential oil or perfume necklaces.  Simply place a few drops of your favorite oil or perfume on a cotton ball and drop it in the little pocket and enjoy the aroma the rest of your day! 


Of course there will still be many other items.  I have a line of sayings that help you remember who you want to "bee" that say things like: be kind, be confident, be strong, and other little reminders.  


So as you all watch the weather channel and play "where in the world is Jim Cantore", you know what my hurricane party consists of...jump rings, chain, and pottery beads!  Come by and check out the goodies at the 15th Annual Hilton Homeplace Sale on 10/13/18!  www.hiltonpottery.com
