Peter's Pottery

Three of my friends and I went to Southaven on Sunday afternoon to Peter Woods' open house.  Peter is the founder and owner of Peter's Pottery.  For those of you who aren't from the area, Peter makes beautiful and functional pottery.

He has opened his house for the past four years as a fundraiser to Wings Breast Cancer Foundation.  His sister passed away from breast cancer and this open house is a tribute to her. 

His house is big and beautiful, around 4,000 square feet, and in a lovely neighborhood of equally beautiful homes!


A welcoming entrance.


I went with friends Jane, Nancy and Betty.  We had to have our picture taken with Peter, of course!  Nancy used to sell Peter's in her booth at Joyful Creations and she and Peter are good friends.


The staircase welcomes you as you enter.


A great view of the entry from the stair landing.


And also a beautiful view of the living room from the other side of the landing.


Wine was served in the living room.


Fruit, chicken salad, shrimp cocktail and little tarts were served in the kitchen area, much of it served in Peter's Pottery.



The dining room.


Our tickets were put into a drawing for this Peter's nativity set.  How I would have loved to win it.  I'm still waiting for the call!


The keeping area.


It was a gorgeous day and we elected to take our food outside and sit by the pool.


There's a cute little pool house with lots of Peter's Pottery in it.  Even the pendent lights are Peter's!


It doubles as a guest house with a Murphy bed in the big piece of furniture.


There was a Christmas tree in absolutely every room except the bathrooms, each one different but beautiful.

What a fun day!

I've been gone every day this week so today I hope to actually get some presents under the tree and finish decorating!  I know you are all very busy as well.  Christmas is just two weeks away!
