Hi Antoinette,
As for me, when participating in an 'nceca', I buy ( well, I buy the use of
a 'Booth' of course, for a few daze, but...)
Quite a bit of Food and various Drinks...lots of Coffee, which is of course=
,
both a Food, and a Drink, in one!
Maybe eight or ten packs of Cigarettes...
Snacks...
Sometimes I buy a Pot or two, and or trade for Pots, and or am given Pots,
and, between those three, by golly if I have not accrued a very VERY nice
collection of really lovely Pots of various kinds over the years.
If I am on Vacation, I buy...
Lots of Food and various Drinks...and lots of Coffee ( see above )...
Plenty of Cigarettes...
Snacks...
And, after that, who knows...maybe nothing, maybe something...all depends.
I am like-a-Dog as far as Travel goes - soon as I even THINK I am going to
be travelling, I want to start eating...old, old Mammal instincts I guess..=
.
Lol...
Love,
Phil

For the conferences in Pittsburgh and Philly I bought several pieces of
pottery from various shows because I drove and could transport them back
easily. At Louisville I purchased one of your pots and the mug exchange, no=
t
much room when flying.
I usually buy work that intrigues me in some fashion and mostly something I
would not create, like objects with prominent texture.
I have bought several things in the past from the vendors hall, got them
home, tried them once or twice, then stuck them in a box and go back to my =
8
or 10 tools I use all the time.

Hi Neighbor,
I bought just about everything in the exhibitors hall - the first year - =
=3D
only needed half the hall the next year - you and your "Very Significant =
=3D
Other" have seen my home studio, you know that's true. LOL=3D20
Food and coffee are highly thought of items.
On my last trip to Louisville, I bought pots made by friends. This year =3D
I'm carrying some with me to sale and trade, small things. 4 or 5 tubs. =3D
But we are towing a 35' trailer too. Lots of room.=3D20
I also plan to stop at Larkin Furnace on the way home to pick up a few =3D
kiln shelves for my small wood fired kiln project.

US Pigment was there last year.

US Pigment was not there last year. I hope they make it this year.
I recently bought 1/4 pound bags of Cobalt Oxide, Copper Oxide and carbonat=
e
and Magnesium dioxide from a supplier and put them in a carry-on bag. They
stopped the line to search my bag because the oxides showed up opaque on th=
e
scanner. A few tense moments while I contemplated them confiscating the
powders (they were not cheap). They let them thru but from now on I'll
order from US Pigments who ships them priority mail in a flat rate box not
problem. USPS $5 shipping for the oxides is cheaper then what they charge
for checked luggage and they could decide to remove the items from checked
luggage. A friend once brought home made maple syrup as a gift and it was
obvious the inspectors had removed the tape from around the bottle caps and
retaped them in her checked luggage. Not complaining, I feel safer knowing
they are checking liquids but now I know what to expect.
This year if I buy any sharp tools at NCECA, I'll have to mail them home or
pay for checked luggage.

I buy Dolan Tools to take back to the studio in which I work. I buy a =3D

And I always bought from the Brushman. Sure miss him. I usually carry =3D

One year I won $100 and bought books I wouldn't necessarily buy. I also =3D
