ONE DAY ONLY! A barn/showroom full of beautiful new pottery dinner plates, cereal/salad bowls and more! We've been hunkered down for so long and we've missed you! Saturday is predicted to be a delightful 77° and we are celebrating with a ONE DAY Sale! Over the winter Mark made a batch of dinner plates, side pates, cereal & serving bowls, and lovely tumblers. He glazed them with his Chandler Rock glaze, made from a granite he gathered last fall at an old kiln site near Edgefield, South Carolina, and fired them in his large gas kiln. The results are beautiful. We've been using a few of the plates and bowls in the house, and we love them. The depth of color and subtle textures of the glaze is so enchanting, while the link to Thomas Chandler and the 19th century Edgefield tradition add layers of intrigue and reflection. We can't wait to share this luminous soft blue/green tableware with you! Together with a selection of lovely pots from the last firing - pitchers, jars, tall vases, planters, slab dishes. and more - we have a barn full of pottery we know you will enjoy! There will be some bargains as well, including discounts on a few of the larger pieces. We hope you can come out on Saturday and enjoy a perfect springtime outing in the country, and a grand reunion of old friends!

The Regency Vows series continues with a witty, charming, and joyful novel following a seasoned debutante and a rakish theater owner as they navigate a complicated marriage of convenience. Lady Emily Turner has been a debutante for six seasons now and should have long settled into a suitable marriage. However, due to her father’s large debts, her only suitor is the persistent and odious owner of her father’s favorite gambling house. Meanwhile, Lord Julian Belfry, the second son of a marquess, has scandalized society as an actor and owner of a theater—the kind of establishment where men take their mistresses, but not their wives. When their lives intersect at a house party, Lord Julian hatches a plan to benefit them both. With a marriage of convenience, Emily will use her society connections to promote the theater to a more respectable clientele and Julian will take her out from under the shadows of her father’s unsavory associates. But they soon realize they have very different plans for their marriage—Julian wants Emily to remain a society wife, while Emily discovers an interest in the theater. But when a fleeing actress, murderous kitten, and meddlesome friends enter the fray, Emily and Julian will have to confront the fact that their marriage of convenience comes with rather inconvenient feelings

A recently separated woman fills a huge terrarium with endangered flowers to establish a small world only she can control in an attempt to heal her broken heart. A competitive swimmer negotiates over which days she will fulfill her wifely duties, and which days she will keep for herself. A peach farmer wonders if her orchard will survive a drought. And generations of a family in South Carolina struggle with fidelity and their cruel past, some clinging to old ways and others painfully carving new paths. In these haunting stories, Megan Mayhew Bergman portrays women who wrestle with problematic inheritances: a modern glass house on a treacherous California cliff, a water-starved ranch, and an abandoned plantation on a river near Charleston. Bergman’s provocative prose asks the questions: what are we leaving behind for our descendants to hold, and what price will they pay for our mistakes?

Reminiscent of Eastern Bhakti love poetry, and Western Troubadour and Green Man traditions, Verdant recounts a mid-life passage within a shadowed natural landscape of intense physical and spiritual longing. At the age of 42, queer poet Jeffery Beam fell in love with a younger man, threatening his then 15-year relationship. These poems were born of that spiritual alchemical blaze and its substantial healing power. The poet-lover’s sacred quest through heartbreak, suffering, grief, and regret, progresses ultimately to a joyful ecstatic reunion with the Beloved Divine. A mini-essay, “Don’t Forget Love: Sacred Longing’s Dark Project”, further illuminates the actual, mythological, and spiritual origins of the poems, and describes the poet’s lifetime search through experience, teachings, and literature, to a condition in which Desire and Love enrich instead of subsuming the Self

A coming-of-age memoir that takes readers from North Carolina’s Outer Banks to disco-era New York City and home again, Untethered follows Laura Whitfield as she fumbles her way through young adulthood, learning along the way that you sometimes have to fall hard a few times before you land where you’re meant to be.

Note--the image says April 7, but this event IS scheduled for April 14. Alan Shapiro’s fourteenth collection of poetry, Proceed to Check Out, is a kind of summing up, or stock-taking, by an aging poet, of his precarious place in a world dominated by the ever-accelerating pace of technological innovation, political disruption, personal loss, and racial strife. These poems take on fundamental subjects—like the nature of time and consciousness and how or why we become who we are—but Shapiro presses them into becoming urgent and timely. Employing idiomatic range and formal variety, Shapiro’s poems move through recurring dreams, the coercions of childhood, and the mysterious connections of mind and matter, pleasure and memory. They meet an abiding need to find empathy and understanding in even the most challenging places—amid disaffection, public discord, and estrangement. His grasp of contemporary life—in all its insidious violence and beauty—is distinct, comprehensive, and profound.
