It's a great day to remember to shop locally and support American made products!

Southern California pottery companies stayed in business during The Great Depression by making cheerful multi colored sets of dishes, flower pots and decorative tile. The designs were strongly influenced by the Art Deco aesthetic with colors inspired by the natural beauty of California. Long after the Depression was over these dishes found longevity in beach houses and summer homes across the country. This collection of Bauer Pottery was started by my Grandmother and I have many fond memories of Sunday dinners at her house.

I look forward to this sandwich all year. It’s the day after Thanksgiving. All the dishes have been washed and put away. The house is quiet. Time to enjoy a turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sandwich on a dinner roll.
