Peter Potter picked a pek of pretty pot holders...

...hold on a moment...

...just let me appreciate the genius of that title, i thought it up all by my bit self!
...okay, so it's not that genius, but i'm quite pleased with it... ;)

...anyhoo, here's a long overdue pic of my pot holders at the Peter Potter Gallery in Haddington...

...i'm really pleased that they have been given such a prominent position, they're hung in the main hall (or room ~ the gallery isn't that big!) and they are one of the first things to grab your attention. i got a wee rush of excitement when i first saw them, and another when i found out that at least one has gone to a new home! apparently they are more of a talking point that anything else, hopefully that's a good thing!? anyway, the exhibition runs until the end of January so you never know a few more might find their forever homes yet... :)

...so after we had warmed ourselves up in the gallery and peeked at all of the other lovely hand crafted goodies we spent a couple of hours wandering around a very soggy foggy Haddington...

...the front of the gallery, which is housed in a former fire station...

...this had us completely baffled...
...that is until we consulted the font of all nature knowledge, aka my father-in-law. apparently it is known as a 'witch's broom', a huge mass of twigs growing from a single point usually caused by a disease. i was completely fascinated with it and wanted to get up close for a few pretty macro shots, but the lack of a ten foot ladder meant that i had to make do with this pic instead!

...and how could i not include a pic of the wee man looking especially cute!?
