Is it Periwinkle Blue?

When you've got your morning hot drink in a favorite cup, or perhaps an afternoon treat...I hope you think of having serving dishes as well...at least when there's more than just you, or maybe just for you yourself!

A simple blue on blue is the glaze on this set of sugar/creamer.  Several of our studio glazes were applied, giving some variation in the blues.

What can you also use these delightful serving pieces for?  A bowl with a lid is great for nuts, and a small pouring vessel is great for hot syrup, honey, or any hot or cold liquid to have at the table.

Today's Quote:

All too often our lives can be spread too thin and it becomes important to gather our thoughts and center ourselves to become whole again.

Remembering an ancestor each time I get the chance:

Ammi Ayers (Aires)

1687–1783 Birth 1687 either in Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire or Boston, MA

Death 1783 • Swansea, Bristol, Mass

When she was born, on an unknown date in 1687, her father, NATHANIEL, was 23, and her mother, AMY, was 32.  Nathaniel was known as a blacksmith, which is kept in the Ancestry records.

Ammi married Samuel Swasey Jan 10, 1710 as recorded in Boston, MA when she was 23. They had six children in 22 years. She died in 1783 as recorded in Swansea, Massachusetts, at the impressive age of 96.  She spent almost half her life as a widow, since Samuel had died in 1739.

Her home was featured in a later photograph, (below on left) though since then it has been demolished. 

Ammi Ayers Swasey was my 6th great grandmother on my grandmother Ada Phillips Swasey Rogers' tree.
