Show and Tell Friday

I love that Kelli over at http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ hosts a show and tell Friday each week and its fun to sit and think about things to share. Today, being a bit rushed for computer time with all my wonderful company here, I decided to share something special to me, my collection of wheat pottery from Homestead Heritage in Elm Mott. If you do a search on my blog of Homestead Heritage you will come up with some pictures of this Christian community south of us.
I love the rich colors of this design and what I love even more is that each piece I own has been a gift from my husband for a birthday or Christmas. I got my first piece in the late 1990's with Emery adding to my little collection through the years. Emery grew up on a wheat farm in Kansas so having the wheat design is special to our family and all my life I have loves salt glazed pottery.
This past birthday, Emery gave me the creamer, sugar bowl and a cereal bowl. They are such nice additions to my collection.

I used to work in the shop that makes these. They are soooo beautiful! Look for names on the bottom... were they all crafted by the same person, or different people?

Hi Erica, most of my pieces have been made by Deanna, unless I purchase a piece made by one of the children for the Homestead craft fair.
Your pottery collection looks so homey and earthy - I love it. I like the fact that the outsides are matte and it has a shiny dark blue interior, I love that contrast of textures! And the contrast of colors too.
