bills blue pots and no more room

Hey Bill your customers sure do like your blue. Saw a great lamp
this summer in NJ with your blue. If only I had a spot for it! Can't
help it I like blue's and copper red! What a heathen.
This brings up another question. I have been potting and
collecting others work for over 30 years. I have pretty well run out
of room for decorative pieces. Some pots and other art work I am
kind of tired of, and could part with. They were too expensive to
throw out and haven't seen second hand art and pottery shops
around. Others I like but might like to change what I have on
display. I also seem to have an aversion to packing things away in
the event I will forget about them or one day have to move!!!
I have donated one large raku piece to a charity, guess I can
take full value on that piece since it is not my own work. Other
than building on a wing to the house ( fat chance) any other
suggestions on how to make room for other pieces since there is
still some great stuff out there. Can't just throw it out, would
like to recycle it.
