Mound Bayou, MS

Mound Bayou, a small historic town founded around 1887, was named for the Indian mounds existing in the area. Mound Bayou is situated half way between Vicksburg, MS and Memphis, TN off Hwy 61. This is our destination for our first stop for pottery. Peter's Pottery has a large selection of lovely pottery...we are certain to find something here. Indeed we did...there were spoon rests, pitchers, plates, bowls, angels, frogs, horses, and on and on and available in several colors. My favorite color is jade. What will I take home today? Ahhh...a small jade bowl, a white pitcher and small jade frog will make nice gifts. With bags in hand, and smiles on our face we carefully place our purchases in the car. I look around to see two couples exit the store without even the smallest bag...everything is so lovely, how can that be?! Oh, yes, they have their husbands with them! Big mistake! Posted by Valerie
