Mary' Lou Button is. a
very creative cook. The
only time she uses a recipe
is for baked goods. All the
recipes shared with us are
originals with the ex-
ception of the carrot cake.
Circle magazines help give
her some ideas but all
dishes coming out of her
kitchen are basically her
own.
Mary Lou and her
husband built their home
on Ridge Street in Fern-
brook four years ago. Their
home, too, is an ‘‘original”’
since the Buttons built it
from scratch. Daughter
Michele, 9, and son
Stephen, 22 months,
complete the family.
A graduate of Wilkes-
Barre Business College,
Mary Lou is originally
from Fernbrook. Rodney is
from Springville, near
Montrose. Rodney was in
the Marines when he and
Mary Loufirst married.
Her served a year in Viet
Nam. He is employed by
James Eagen and Sons,
Wyoming, as a welder.
N They also own and operate
brook.
Mary Lou became in-
terested in ceramics about
six years ago. Then she and
some friends spent one
night a week taking
ceramics. She liked it so
much that she decided to
buy her own kiln, and begin
on a small basis.As luck
would have it, an
acquaintance was selling
her shop, so Mary Lou was
in business.
Ceramics are fun for
Mary Lou. She finds
running the shop very
enjoyable especially her
Saturday morning
childrens lessons. Seeing
the looks on the faces of the
see the finished project is
thrilling according to Mary
Lou.
Rodney has the hardest
Mary Lou’s opinion. He
does all the casting of
greenware for the shop.
This process begins by
ising clay in a liquid form.
It is then cast into a mold
Molding a piece takes an
entire day between firing
and drying. sometimes
longer depending on the
size of the greenware.
After the piece is dried it
must be trimmed styled
and if it consists of several
pieces the pieces must be
attached.
When someone begins a
ceramic piece the first step
is cleaning the piece.The
rough seams are smoothed
and the piece is sponged,
then painted and fired in an
three main types of paints
underglazes.
Mary Lou feels, ‘‘The
nice thing about ceramics
is that you don’t have to be
an artist to do them.
Making something and
giving it away as a gift is
the best part of doing
ceramics.”
The shop is opened six
days per week, Monday
through Saturday. Lessons
are available. Mary Lou
fills special orders for
shower and banquet favors
upon request.
Although she is very
busy with her work, Mary
Lou has joined the Back
Mountain Jaycettes, which
she really enjoys. At the
auction she spent some
time working at the club’s
children’s booth. Working
with children is one of
Mary Lou’s favorite
hobbies. Michele is in
Brownies and just finished
attending the cheerleading
clinic held at Dallas Senior
High School. The Buttons
are members of St. Pauls
Lutheran Church where

Michele sings in the choir.
Both the Buttons like
sports. Baseball is a
favorite of Mary Lou’s. She
also likes to play tennis.
Kodney enjoys baseball,
basketball, hunting and
fishing. They belong to a
card club.
Camping is enjoyed by
the entire family. They
usually camp at local camp
grounds.
Since Mary Lou’s recipes
are originals, anyone with
a question is welcome to
five her a call. Mary Lou’s
potato salad is an in-
teresting combination of
ingredients that always
brings compliments from
her friends. The chicken
one dish meal is simple yet
good enough for company.
Choose either mashed
rutabaga or special string
beans for a delicious side
dish. Hors d’oeuvres are a
favorite of the card club.
Carrot cake with cream
cheese icing is delicious in
the summertime since it is
kept refrigerated. These
are the Buttons’ favorites,
and Mary Lou hopes
everyone likes them as
much as her family does.
