got a cute note from a clayart friend.

she makes nice things. things that folks like.
some with advanced degrees may even call her work `cute/primitive`.


`had a nice home sale, sold $12,000 in work in 6 hours.`

cute note.
of course she had very sore hands from packing clay objects. tsk, tsk.

she is happy, her customers are happy, and i sure am
happy for her. she ordered a new peter pugger.

makes me smile.

i asked my dear friend kevin caufield, how was the `renaissance` this fall?
he said.
`most vendors were down about 50 percent. but, my sales were very
steady...same as always...of course i actually deal with customers,
greet them, and help them buy. don't just sit in the back of my store
and read.`

Mel,
I don't suppose you could reveal who this friend is -- perhaps they have a website? (I love visuals) It serves as a great encouragement to know that this (monetary) response to the things we make is really possible. I'm just hoping that it will one day be possible for ME. Ahhh, "Life so short, the craft so long to learn"!
