Frost Bottom Days: Hatchville Pottery

Hatchville Pottery

Mrs & I took a ride over to Hatchville Pottery this afternoon to get a little local Christmas shopping done. Hollis Engley is the potter. We have purchased some of his work in the past including one of my favorite mugs. Please take some time to explore The Hatchville Pottery blog and website and if you are in the area stop in and take a look. Please support your local artists. I don't know enough about pottery (other than to know I really like it) to try and write something eloquent and exciting about the subject, but there is plenty of information at the sites referenced above. Better to leave it to the expert.

The Hatchville Pottery Gallery

All images taken inside the gallery. It's bigger than it looks and has lots of great looking and useful pots. We did purchase a few things and I treated myself to one that will become my most excellent Hatchville Pottery pot for enjoying beer.

You can also find Hatchville Pottery pieces for sale at Coffee Obsession in Falmouth and Woods Hole.

Arkansas Patti said...: What a really cool potting shed and some beautiful stuff. Potters are some of the last "originals." No cookie cutter products there.
Always thought I would love to try it but am sure I am just hooked on the romantic version from the movie "Ghost".; Sunday, December 13, 2009 6:41:00 AM

Welcome!

The blog title, in part, refers to the habitat type we live in as I understand it (well, the house is plopped in the middle of it anyway). We frequently experience colder air temperatures and have to be careful of early and late frosts that threaten tender plants in the garden. I've lived here for over 30 years (Holy $#@*!!!) and I will say that the last 10 to 12 seem warmer and the frost threat seems less and less. My Mom would always say that we were not safe from frost until after Memorial Day and were in danger of frost after Labor Day. I generally still go by that rule, but I'm not as worried about it.

We're a very small "farm". In fact, in March 2016 I am amending my earlier description because there isn't much farming going on anymore. We have one chicken. Our focus is mainly the grounds, the house, outbuildings and of course, being outdoors and on trips.

So, stay tuned. I expect to blog about some gardening, pets, geocaching, camping, hiking, running and travel, or whatever the day brings. As time goes on there will be several pages of 'older posts' accessible from a link at the bottom of the page.
