that the 100th anniversary of the formation of Stoke on Trent from six pottery towns was yesterday? Well, perhaps not, as I google around I find that the actual date was in March apparently. Last night there was an event which was part of the 100th anniversary celebrations, click this post's title for that article. Perhaps there was an anticipatory souvenir (see post below for explanation) for this event? If there had been I think I'd want one! Wedgwood & Sons didn't have any such in their promo emails which I receive...maybe anticipatory souvenir is something newly created for the 2012 Olympics and it's NOT really a real category! Real category or not, I've had an interesting Sunday morning on the internet roaming around about my favorite ceramics! Here is one more article, from February, touting the Citizen of the Century in Stoke. Check out how many have something to do with Wedgwood! Who would YOU vote for?

- Well, I messed up! I used the same email address to set up my family blog as well as my Wedgwood blog. I apologize for the confusion. No matter which blog you are on, it's me! Please just read on and you'll figure it out! Besides my long-time Wedgwood addiction, I'm a genealogist among other things, with a long-time passion for family history. I hope you will contact me if you feel you may be related. I'm happy to share family information and am always looking to enhance my own tree branches. I've been collecting and studying Wedgwood for more years than I care to admit, suffice it to say many, and love to correspond with other collectors. Get in touch, even if you aren't ready to buy! Share your collections, ask questions, let us know what's on your mind! I am learning some Dutch! One of my all time favorite descriptions is 'Josiah Wedgwood father of English Potteries', so here it is in Dutch: "Wedgwood De vader van de Engelse pottenbakkers" - My favorite new word pottenbakkers!!!
