Up early
It snowed again last night (though just a couple of inches), so I decided to dig out/clean off the car first thing, to get it out of the way. Didn't take too long.
Yesterday, I got all the presents wrapped for today, so that's done. I had bought something for Peggy, but when I went to Marva's Open House, I got her something else, a small "face" bowl, so-called because it has a face in the bottom. P. & G. had come to one of M's open houses a couple of years ago, and had really liked her work, so since this was reasonably priced, I decided it would be more special than what I'd picked out at Mikasa. M. got some publicity in the Trib last weekend, so she had a slew of folks, and by the time I showed up, around 3:00, most of the stuff was gone. But it was time to break out the wine. I did succumb to a beautfiul bowl. It's about 5" deep, and 14" diameter, with a deep scalloped rim. It's a creamy background color, with blotches of deep pinkish-red that are strawberries. However, the image of strawberries is created by a subtlety of shape and by the stippled texture of the surface. It's kind of hard to describe but it's awesome, and quite a bit different from most of Marva's work. I was admiring it, but commented that it was probably out of my price range. M. said she'd had it around for a year, and gave it to me for waaaaaaay less than I thought it would be. So I'm happy. My holiday present to myself. ;-))
