I didn’t get as many as mugs made as I wanted, but then I never do. After trimming and moving pots around to drying racks I pugged me some mug pugs and got down and dirty. Kaileigh came by to visit after school. I threw mugs on and off until 5 ish when Jim came with a small load of clay and a ride home for us girls. I had planned on a 100 mugs today but jammed out at 70.
The show is only 11 days away. I have a lot to do in order to have the studio ready. The thought of not setting up the booth is a very nice one. No numerous totes full of heavy pots to carry, no walls to build, and carpets to lie…… no growling at each other over and during set up …. Not like we ever would or do. It costs about $2000 including lighting for the corner booth we have had in the past. The show runs for 4 days. I was talking to a sign making guy today and for less than half that I can have two 4’ x 8’ signs that will hang on the building, one on each side of an attached pillar thing on the front, for years…hhmm…. Don’t need to be a rocket surgeon to walk that one through. I had a dream the other night. We were in this rinky dink show. It was so dark you could not see anything, no one there; in the dream I turned to Jim and said “No more shows!!” It is hard to analyze that one.
Another lady came by to drop off product for the retail side of the studio. Beautiful hand crafted jewelry. Very cool stuff. So now I have the masks and things that Helen makes, hand poured bee’s wax candles, jewelry, and small sculpted ladies. I have not even advertised that I am looking for things. They are just arriving. It is like the store is meant be. Must get pictures!!
I talked to WIN House last week. We are on for the second annual Empty Bowls. The local celebs will come in and make pots again, TV coverage, I hope this year they ask the local paper. It will be fun. It doesn’t happen until the fall. I shipped out vases again to < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />
American Idol is on in a few minuets, it waits for no man, or woman. It is fun to watch those who really think they can sing and can’t. They must have a friend or someone they trust, anyone that will tell them the truth.
Until next time.
