First Day of School

Shelby started 1st grade today. She was a little nervous, but the nervousness quickly subsided. Bob decided to go into work late today so that he could drive her to school this morning and walk her into her room. I got to play the obnoxious parent with the camera! When asked how her day went, Shelby keeps replying, "It was AWESOME!"

Longaberger Pottery Chili Bowls One Day Sale - Wednesday, August 26th

I love these bowls!


The Longaberger Pottery Chili Bowls are being retired and this may be your last chance to buy some. Quantities are now limited and at an unbeatable price of $8 each they are sure to go fast. Be sure to order yours early in the day Wednesday as some color choices will sell out early.


A pair or set of these will make great holiday gifts either alone or in a gift basket. In a basket (Longaberger, of course!) put the chili bowls, chili recipe, and some of the ingredients needed such as beans, spice packet, onion, canned tomoates, crackers, etc.


With the school year starting, it is time to think about teacher gifts as well. One of these bowls with a personal size package of soup mix tied with a ribbon would make any teacher's heart happy!


Please use the link below to order your bowls. I know you will love them as much as I do. (I already have a set of 8 but I am thinking of ordering more!)

These bowls hold 2 cups which make them great when needing an impromptu measuring cup. They are also the perfect size for making the individual sizes of Kraft Easy Mac! As with all Longaberger Pottery, these bowls are oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.

Coming in September, are the new Longaberger Pottery soup and sandwich plates. These fit the plates perfectly. Just imagine this fall....a hot bowl of chili and a grilled cheese sandwich served using the chili bowls and NEW sandwich plates.
