WHOA!!!! Last week it was somebody from shopping channel and today it is
something called "bulkworks". Sure makes me gulp to tell somebody no, I
cannot under any circumstances come up with $100,000.00 of extra inventory!
My husband helpfully pointed out that even if I could, which he agrees I
can't, that sort of arrangement isn't guaranteed.
Well you pays your money and you makes your choices. And mine are
clearly: a)one pot at a time and b) no employees. I am not necessarily
recommending this to others, just acknowledging that is where I am at and
I know it and am at peace with it.
Sigh......think of all that moolah.....

I get these emails a lot too. I think the companies must have an
automated system that looks for craft web sites....If these
guys who supply Walmart and high volume TV shows had LOOKED at
my web site they'd have realized they were barking up a REALLY
weird tree.......
Jennifer, another potter with no employees....

Well, it may sound a great deal, but by the time you work out production
costs for what is being suggested, I would hazard a guess that there would
be precious little left for your retirement fund, Eleanora! The physical
and mental pressures would certainly not be worth it IMHO!
