More New Colors to Oregon

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Chuck and Debbie Young, the innkeepers of Country Willow B&B, placed an order with us near the end of October. On this order they branched out just a bit more and added more new colors. On their last order of custom handmade mugs they brought on 2 new solid glazes to go with their traditional Lt.

Thanks for reading our blog!
