Mud and Spirits was fun. I don't exactly know how much I made because the C.A.G.N.I. folk organized the payments and will send an inventory and a check. I know I covered expenses, but don't have an idea if I did better than last year. I would have loved to sell more, I had some to haul home of course.

It's about the nicest show we all do, the customers come because they want to buy pottery; it's not the casual entertainment wandering-around of most art fairs. But they also seem more courteous than others. Maybe it was just a good day, all around was happiness. Such a stark contrast to my weekly workday.

I picked Amby up from the spa this morning. His spa is in the country and I took a short cut on roads that were even more back country. The snow had drifted a foot and a half in some places. I plowed through them with the AWD and studded sawdusts. Dayum that was fun (POW, SWOOSH), I still have loads to do in the house here, but for a while considered finding more backroads and spending the day swooshing through them. (That would have had disaster written all over it.)


Not a lot of space, but I keep the inventory under the tables so I can easily replace items as they sell.

Multi-talented potter Brad Sondahl spent a lot of time entertaining too.



Maiolica by Guild Member Lizette Fife. Lizette's maiolica is distinctly modern rather than Renaissance/Medieval. But well-done, I have a few of her pieces and plan to buy more.

Your display looks awesome! Good job! I'm so glad it was fun for you too. You showed alot of moral fortitude not bombing through the snow drifts on the back roads. I so would have done that...

Thanks :-)

This moral fortitude is stretching pretty thin. I should be a real riot in my next lifetime.

You could always just find an empty parking lot and do some donuts. Like the yahoos over here last night...

I miss having you there.
I am fine doing all the work by myself. But I miss your companionship and talking about some of the lovely things other people have.

I don't take advantage of the fun aspects of snow very often. Other than enjoying it's beauty when I let my guard down.

It really does look like a lot of fun, and your display looks great!

Thank You.
If the opportunity was there, I would do that show much more often.
