Thinking About the Holidays Is Making Our Family Stressed.

We make orders for the holiday season at a greater pace than we have in years. Our modern family works s a team and even though it may not be normal we still like to think of ourselves as a typical happy family. Mountaine Meadows has the perfect plaque for giving your hilarious kooky family.

Twin’s First Birthday Party

• Our dear Friends, Kyle and Susan, had twins last year and we were incredibly happy to host their first birthday party at Mountain Meadows Pottery. Luckily, we knew exactly what to get them! The perfect gift for parents of twins, “Discover Wildlife, Raise Twins”

Welcoming A Daughter In Law

As you know, our kids are always venturing out into the wilds far beyond Vermont….but this summer we had a ball with our son, Nathaniel, who’d just return home from a year in South Korea teaching. He’ll soon be starting a job in Washington D.C. and we couldn’t he happier that he and our new Daughter in Law Brittan will be on the East Coast close to home.
Suggest A Saying

As you can see, all our gift plaques come to us from the hilarity of our daily lives up at Mountain Meadows Pottery. What sayings come from your hysterical life? Maybe it’s a gift plaque in the making!

I love how the long, warm summer days bring everyone outdoors for barbecues, neighborhood baseball games, ice cream cones, and lots of sports.  This is a time when friends, family, and fun definitely take top priority.  Mark has been playing tennis at least three times a week and manages to throw in a game of golf every once in a while.

I ride my bike with friends in the evening on the old railroad bed that is across the street from the shop.  We have been riding there for years and it is great to share these summer days with friends.

The days are just starting to get noticeably shorter, but we are still finding plenty of time to be outside enjoying the Northeast Kingdom.

Spring has finally turned into summer.  We have had a lot of rain these past few weeks so everything is as green as can be.  My garden is in full bloom, and the black flies are out in full force. Here are some pictures of my garden:
                                              There is no question that gardening tills MY soul.

When it’s too hot for gardening we have been spending a lot of time out on the water canoeing and kayaking.   It is definitely that time of year when there is nothing better than being by the water.

Boy does it feel great to be home. Summer in Vermont is not to be missed. Here are few pictures from our trip. We did see some amazing pottery, met lots of wonderful people, ate tons of very good food, and walked our feet off.

We camped overnight on the Great Wall of China.

We visited a small family tea farm, where we got to pick tea leaves and we LOVED the people watching not to mention the amazing porcelain!
Now it is time to relax, enjoy our gardens and the lakes and ponds all over Vermont. Mark and I are kayaking when we can and we got to go to Peaks Island, Maine. This Rachel Field poem so expresses the wonderful islands all along the Maine coast.
