Goodbye Ferd


I'm so sad to say that my "pseudo grandpa" passed away last night. I will miss him terribly!

Polish Pottery Shopping ~ Bolesawiec, Poland




Well this was my third journey to Bolesawiec for pottery shopping (most likely my last on this tour of duty). My friends Becky and Donna ventured out on this express trip with me over this weekend. (For those that don't know, the express trip leaves late at night on Friday, arrives early on Saturday and heads back to Stuttgart on Saturday evening - so the bus is our hotel) We basically shopped till we dropped. This is always a challenging trip for me because it is like a scavenger hunt - you never know what your going to find or if you will see the same thing in the next store. I think we hit a dozen or more stores. It's crazy shopping! I guess because I already have my fair share of pottery I wasn't finding much too purchase.
