Spring sale coming soon

It is just about time for a Spring "I cant shlep it no more sale".  Loads of pots in the house and garage, and I am starting to trip over them. They need to find new homes.  I like the colours on this mug for example, but it appears the glaze on the bottom half went on to greener pastures, it leapt off the mug in the firing.  Mishaps, and not what I had in mind pots go off to find homes, not because they arent functional but because they arent what somebody ordered  or they might have a swoopier handle than was intended.

However, there is always somebody who finds the beauty in these things.  I hear there is a new reality program called the undateables, maybe it is something like that.  somebody will see beyond what I as the maker can see.

We are off for a break for a few days, but I will announce sale details , time and venue etc. , but be assured the price will be right!!

This was one of the prettier plates at a dinner at Segovia here in Winnipeg.  Specializing in Tapas we had lots of wonderful little tasty plates.  This was by far the most beautiful, mostly because of the beautiful bowl that held the Elk Short Ribs.

This month is another month of throwing for the Summer and fall shows, so lots of bigger pieces, and thinking of wedding gifts and the like.  Hoping for lots of salad bowls, wine tumblers, platters for entertaining.  May is my last push before I am seriously turning back into a micro urban farmer.  The unloved and neglected looking yard is calling out to me each morning as I go to work and return.  Why don't you stay and tend to the weeds and quack grass, it seems to say.  The compost bin is quite scary at this moment, and will need to be reckoned with.  It's raining as I write, so at least that is less watering of the transplanted fruit trees.

Back to trimming tomorrow night, as soccer begins on Tuesday.  Sort of feeling like a hamster on one of those wheels. I am spinning, but not moving down the track.
