My Favorite Things - Bybee Pottery

In the last few years I have developed a love of pottery.  In the summer of 2005, we helped our middle daughter and her new husband move to Kentucky.  We took advantage of the opportunity to explore regions of the United State that we never thought we'd never visit.  One of our favorite spots in Kentucky was a small town called Berea, which just happens to be the folk arts and crafts capital of Kentucky.  While we were there I discovered Bybee Pottery.  It is the oldest existing pottery west of the Alleghenies (established in 1809).  I love Bybee pottery because it is handmade - which means each piece has slight imperfections which increases the individuality of the piece of pottery.

A little treasure...

In August we moved my youngest daughter and her husband out to North Carolina.  We also stopped in Kentucky to visit my middle daughter and her family.  While we were there we went to a Big Lots store.  I love pottery and saw some plates that looked intriguing.  I picked one up and on the bottom I noticed Roseville Pottery stamp.  Unfortunately, we were flying home so I was only able to buy one small plate, but I am ecstatic because it only cost $1.50 for a 7.5 inch plate!!!
