Keepin Her Humble

[morgaina]

Speaking of egos (we were talking about egos weren't we?).
Here is what I do to stay humble. I go to GoodWill.
I went today to get some stuff for an art lesson I'm doing at school. The first thing I saw coming in the door was a carved covered jar I had made about 15 years ago, still perfect condition. Bargain price of $.99 of course I bought it.
This discovery happens occasionally. I once bought one of my older mugs for under 30 cents.
*sigh*
I'm kind of a hypocrite about this though. One of my fervent dreams is to find a "Maria Martinez" or a "Nampaya" at a pawn shop, I've had Anthopologist friends who did just that and let me hold them for a little while.

I love it!!!

Once I found some Mikasa stoneware that I picked up, because a friend had the exact set, so I gave them to her to add to it. Just a few pieces, and I think I spent like $5. It's absolutely amazing!

Sort of a jag from the post, but do you remember who the previous owners of those items were? Just for my feverish curiosity...

Ooooo, Daedin...a name I recognize! Daedin, would you friend me?

Happily!

No, both the pots were from a line I produced and there were hundreds. They might even have been intended as a gift to the Philistines ;-)
