i do not doubt that the economy is getting back in good shape.
the buyers are out, in droves.
i have stood in my studio for 11 hours straight.
not one break, took a pee in 4 p.m. (note plumbing is in good shape)
folks did not blink at spending 200 bucks.
pots went out the door.

i had everyone that walked in give me their email address.
i am going to start that data base.
send one email when i open a kiln.
most folks were excited about that...`hey mel, you mean
we do not have to wait for a sale.?`
`yep, just show up as i unload the kiln, i will send you an email`.
`hey, can write down my cousin's email address too?`
`yep`.
so it goes.
why sell in a mall, home is just great.
they don't eat snacks, they don't drink wine.
they grab pots...get in line.
i just turned off the lights...put on my slippers.
and counted money.
mel
tomorrow we do it all over again.
now i have to send a pot to toni smith... for her new `sister`.
i sure am glad that wonderful lady is feeling better.
