This journey began as a simple research project — exploring the pottery traditions of Ohio. What started as curiosity grew into something larger: a business that connects heritage with everyday life.

After wrestling with menus and directions, I’ve returned to simplicity. My WordPress site is now a blog with a single page for shopping— two buttons, two doors:

• Shopify — for dinnerware and linens, the structured side of the shop.
• Etsy — for stationery, books, and a touch of vintage clothing, the storytelling side.

It wasn’t easy to change. Like Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, I’ve wrestled with tradition and the need to adapt. But change was necessary — to keep the work flowing, to keep the joy alive.

Alongside the shop, another project waits patiently: a book that began with pottery research and continues to call me back. The writing reminds me that this work is more than commerce — it’s story, heritage, and rhythm.

For now, I celebrate clarity: one page, two buttons, a path forward. Tradition anchors me, change keeps me moving, and the book reminds me why I began.
