morgaina | Mud & Spirits recap

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.
