At noon today our friends arrived for an afternoon of potluck and art. Since we just decided late Friday to all get together, there was no time for a trip to the store. So I just used what I had on hand for my share of the potluck. Day old bread and a cookie cutter to make some finger sandwiches.
With a drizzle of olive oil, I popped them in the oven until toasty and then made up a quick batch of egg salad for a spread. At this point, I completely forgot to take pictures of the rest until my friends arrived.
We had shrimp cocktail, clam dip, champagne, for appetizers and ended up making 3 different kinds of home made pizza.
The first pizza. And then I lost track of taking pictures again.
This is our friend Jeanne emerging from throwing her first pot. {Photographed by her husband John. }
Another shot of Jeanne courtesy of John.
This is John and he's done this before, but reminds us it was 30 years ago. How old are you anyway John? I noticed he did not take off his watch to throw.
Ever since I found a spot to hold jewelry, I have noticed sometimes they forget to put them back on before they leave. I think maybe John must be onto me.
John's first pot in 30 years.
Posing with their masterpieces. I see John made a "Jeanne" bottle, or so he told Jeanne. That's our friend Diane in the middle with her impressive new bowl. And Jeanne thought she may use her masterpiece to hold toothpicks.
I just love how they are posing for me, so that's why you get to see another photo.
I already can't wait to see their finished pieces!

Using pots and throwing pots....perfect day.
What a great impromptu party! Pottery and pizza! I love your cookie cutter -it would make the cutest finger sandwiches!
Nice way to add to your jewelry collection! ; )

Now that's the sort of get together I love! Especially one that means you're too wrapped up in what you're doing to take photos ... Happens to me often ;-)
