A fun new thing - Pottery Class!

Happy, they have little wire rings at the top for hanging. The wire is dark so it doesn't show up in the picture against the dark background. It's funny that you prefer the cactuses, because those are the ones I'm the least satisfied with. Hopefully others will like them too. This is the original inspiration in the picture, so I feel like I need to do something with a sign in the middle with the zigzag edges.

Very nice, rr. I hope you do well at the sale, even if a little one.

I'm so happy with the result on this one. Not only relieved that top did not fuse to the bottom (a common issue), but I'm really pleased with the color and texture. I think I would like to make more of these.

I love this!

Pretty little box! I really like it!

That is lovely! I love the color as well.

We did great at our sale yesterday. We sold $881. in pottery, and more than half of that was from my Route One collection! I had done a few posts on our town FB pages, and a lot of people told me they came to the fair specifically for my orange dinosaurs, so that was good for us and I was happy that I helped drive traffic to the event in general.
We had paid a $40 table fee, and we did have some other significant expenses: fudge, more fudge, chocolate cherries, caramels, other caramels, raffle tickets, etc. You get the idea. BUT, DH won the best raffle prize, which was a wreath of gift cards totalling just about $700! He was so excited! We won't be able to use all of them, but there were $75 in visa cards, $50 in Amazon, $50 for Home Depot, $30 for Target, $20 for Stop & Shop, so still an excellent score that more than made up for our fair-related spending. It was a very successful day overall!

Wow what a day! Good show.

You might be able to use some of those gift cards for gifts at Christmas or otherwise give away, I assume. Why can’t you use them all?

Wow! That WAS a great day, rr! Congrats to dh! And I'm with Tradd - you should use them all! Even if some are used as gifts to other people, that means you are still using them!
