From the Editor
I recently found an original hand thrown ceramic platter signed by Eric Norstad at the local thrift store, Heaven’s Closet. I wonder how that specific platter ended up in Cloverdale for me to discover, like a hidden treasure? It now sits in the center of our dining table, overflowing with fresh-picked tomatoes, blackberries, and peaches and apples from our trees. Sitting in my fountain in the backyard, I have four little ceramic angels that one of his potters at the Norstad Studio made for me; I keep my pens on my desk in one of Eric’s hand-thrown vessels; and I have a small Norstad vase where I put the roses I’ve cut from the garden.
I met Eric back in the 80’s and enjoyed a wonderful close friendship with him and his family for years. Decades have gone by and so many things are different; lives have changed, and yet today, I can enjoy that artwork in my home. Lifelong friends represented in pieces of art scattered throughout my property.
Find the treasures; honor the friendships; keep the memories.
I’ll see you around town!
