Dinnerware ready to be packed up and shipped.

Martha Stewart’s blog ‘The Bride Guide’, and their week long feature on ‘white on white’

Dad and I have been busy in the shop shipping out dinnerware that has been ordered from our registry.  A lot of brides & grooms are starting to find us and our new wedding registry.  The funny thing is, everyone’s been registering for 5 pc place settings in the our glaze Oyster!  I think everyone really appreciates the handmade, yet modern, milky look of these pieces.  And I think others would agree.  Over on Martha Stuart’s blog, The Bride Guide, they are doing a weekly segment on White on White….I should write to Martha and tell her about DSP!

I will be posting everyone’s stories of sharing, giving, and creativity here.  The person who has the most inspiring, or heartfelt story will win a $100 gift certificate to Dodge Station Pottery-just in time for the holidays!  Here is the newsletter below:

Do you know someone in need of a warm dinner, help preparing meals, or just a little company? Could you use an excuse to make someone’s day and preform a random act of kindness? Well, for a limited time we are giving you one free bowl to help give back to others!

Order your bowl in any color or pattern and get an additional green bowl to give to someone else. In your package you will also receive a list of suggestions and ideas on ways to share your bowl.

It all started in 1997 when Jeff Napp of Dodge Station Pottery was teaching high school Art and founded the charity ‘Bowls for Hunger’. He threw 500 bowls and the students got to hand-paint them. When they were all done, they hosted a supper and the community gathered to pick out their bowl, eat soup and chat. All of the proceeds went to the Marquette County Food Bank, to help one of the poorest counties in the state. Since then he has retired from teaching at the high school but the charity continues on growing every year…

This year Dodge Station Pottery got to thinking, what can we do to help those in need? Besides those who are less off, there are elderly that are home bound with no one to talk to, there are people who need assistance preparing meals. The ideas kept on coming, and we decided to start the 1st Annual, Bowls with Benefits! What can YOU do to give back?

Share your stories, ideas, or pictures. Send us an email or letter and we will share everyone’s stories here on the blog. The person who has most creative, unique or heartfelt story will,

Since this is the beginning of my blogging experience, I’ll start by posting some of the recent developments in Dodge Station Pottery land.  And there have been quite a few exciting ones!  One of my favorites is the launch of our new wedding registry!  Now brides and grooms to be all over, can register for their favorite dinnerware color or pattern and start building their DSP collection.
