They're artists and quite proud.
Don't you love children's expressions? :) 
Andrew wanted to make sure the pottery got into the picture as they both showed me the pottery they've made during my brief visit. Such fun boys.
Took a look around the B & B. Only took pictures of the pottery. She already sells some mugs made by a production potter (not sure where from though). 
She and my Uncle Werner also have pottery all over their home and Bed and Breakfast. Aunt Debbie is one of the best cooks I know and her breakfasts are hard to beat! Here is some of their pottery...
Here's a pic just outside their Bed and Breakfast. Come summertime or even in a short while, there will be many more flowers. 
Here's a distant pic of their place. I remember as a child, playing on the foundation of this before it was being built. Gosh, time goes by fast. Check out Swiss Woods for more pictures and info.
While in PA, I discovered that my niece, Lily really likes my pottery. :) She's teething, and with that dark hair is definitely a Huacani having dark hair and dark eyes. I'm biased, but I think she's simply beautiful. My dad thinks she is the best too.
Maybe she'll be a potter in the days to come.
I was in Pennsylvania for Mother's Day. Got some pics here and there. Spent some time with my dad as he helped me to get a display ready for an upcoming pottery show in mid-June. First, I had to see the new lawnmower too. He was proud of it. Jake, the family dog is always by my dad's side.
We found this old beautiful board in the back yard. Really. Dad insisted on carrying it to his woodshop by himself.
He cut it into different lengths. He was so incredibly helpful. (Jake is in the pic, of course). Labs are so loyal.
This looks like ordinary wood, but it;s not because it is now here in NC and will be part of my pottery display. Thanks, Dad! 
I'm visiting my parents in PA for the weekend. Two of my three siblings are here too. While here, I discovered that my Dad and Mom had these two pieces; both are from Bolivia and I'm part-Bolivian (Dad is from Bolivia) so I was excited to see these. I really like the design on them; the design of the one on the left is like one of my pieces I had made with a similar wax resist design that's at the top of this blog. How beautiful!
They're so thin and the glaze is all over the pot... and the foot is indented on the pot. Hard to see from the pics. Handles are small too.
This handmade piece is from a restaurant in Cuzco, Peru. It has the customary (not sure which animal) design as the mug handles and has a very thin glaze on it. Simple and beautiful. Very typical Peru/Bolivia. Got it in Peru while on a family trip there.
A closeup look at the handle.
Yesterday, on the way here, I stopped at one of my Aunt's houses for a baby shower for one of my cousins. Went to another Aunt's house too and saw the beautiful stained glass that she makes. She's an artist too! This is above one of the doorways in her home.
This is a gorgeous Bolivian ahuayo blanket that she has in her family's kitchen. Her family lived for many years in Arizona; this fits right in with that motif in her beautiful home.
And, as my Dad, Mom, sister and I were talking about pottery, my Dad got out this 'bad day mug' that he purchased at a festival here in Lancaster, PA. It is well made; and is definitely a joke, all in one. I like the glaze though and the rim and writing at the top. Writing says 'bad day mug'.
