Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Pink Saturday: McCoy Stoneware

This is my collection of McCoy Stoneware. I had the two bowls, and my kids (headed up by their sister Kari) gave me the rest for Mother's Day a few years ago. I have always thought of the bowls as "bread" bowls. Here are a couple of links to more information about this pretty pottery:

Marilou, from Lulu's Lovlies has chosen me to be the featured person on her blog today. Thank you, so much, Marilou! Marilou was the winner of my last CSN gift certificate drawing, and she chose a beautiful cloche. Wait until you see what she filled it with, and read about the wonderful collection that she has begun for her granddaughters. Please click here to go to Lulu's Lovlies.

We used to live in Washington State not far from Mt. Baker and the woods look just the same....I always loved the lush ferns and all the moss on the rocks...and all the water, too. Nothing is prettier than water bubbling over rocks!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Angi said...: I love your table scape! My mother had a few McCoy collections. McCoy is my maiden name, so naturally I tend to perk up when I see McCoy pottery. Happy Pink Saturday!; February 19, 2011 at 4:37 PM
KathyB. said...: I don't recall ever having seen any McCoy Pottery, but I can surely see why you love it so. How blessed and fortunate you are to have a daughter ( Kari ) who can head up a family plot to gift you more pottery. I like the quilt on the table too~; February 20, 2011 at 3:28 AM
