This summer has been brutal. The weather here in North Carolina has been no less than 90 degrees every single day for at least a month now. That means it’s too hot to simply let the kiddies play outside and too – summer – to keep them inside. Can I tell you how much I’ve heard the words “I’m bored”? Too Many! Thank goodness Greg’s Pottery has given me a way to beat the heat and make something neat – all at the same time!
Beat The Heat
So the other day when they started singing they boredom song I decided to take the chance to finally experience one of our local Fayetteville gems – Greg’s Pottery. I’ve been wanting to visit and try the fun of painting my own pottery for at least two years now. I first saw Greg’s Pottery during a Blogger Tour of Fayetteville back in 2015.
If you’re in Fayetteville and looking for a way to beat the heat and still have fun I definitely suggest @gregspottery ? We had a blast!! ? #GregsPottery #MyNC #MyFayetteville #DowntownFayetteville #Summer #SummerDays #SummerFun #GetCrafty #Craft #Paint #Pottery #Blog #Blogger #BlogLife #NC #NCBlogger #NCBloggers #LifestyleBlogger #SouthernBlogger #TheMrsTee
Make Something Neat
So I gathered all the Kiddies, including my oldest and my two nieces. My oldest daughter was the most excited because she is artistic to her core but the rest of the crew, let’s just say they weren’t as ummm – enthusiastic. That is until we got to Greg’s.

As you can see, once we got there everyone was super focused on creating the most perfect piece of art. I loved seeing how determined even the older Kiddies were to get their visions for the pieces just right.
Even #MisterEJ got in on the fun . . . ? #GregsPottery #MyNC #MyFayetteville #DowntownFayetteville #Summer #SummerDays #SummerFun #GetCrafty #Craft #Paint #Pottery #LoveMyLife #LoveMyKiddies #Blog #Blogger #BlogLife #NC #NCBlogger #NCBloggers #LifestyleBlogger #SouthernBlogger #TheMrsTee
If you’re local to Fayetteville or even in driving distance I recommend you take a day and make Greg’s Pottery one of your family’s moments to remember. We not only got the chance to pick out and decorate some really cool pieces of art but we did it TOGETHER. Even though my oldest and my niece tuned out for a bit with their headphones to focus – we still had fun, laughs and most importantly we made a memory I don’t think any of will forget any time soon.

I used to do pottery and love it still. It really got me through the toughest time of my life, very healing. I’m actually considering going back now.
I can definitely understand that. It was so relaxing we ended up staying there for nearly 3 hours. I was totally in the zone…
