All things being equal I will be back to do this again next year. For those who missed this weekend, you will find me and my work at the Kawartha Potters Guild holiday sale, November 14-16, and for my SCA peeps, I will likely be at Feast of the Hare the following weekend.

Many thanks as well to all of my visitors, friends, returning and new customers. I love being able to show what I do, and talk about pottery. Special interaction this weekend was meeting a contemporary from high school and so there was much catching up and reminiscing. Very small world.

Well that’s a wrap. My faithful helper @juliemorris took this photo today as I was working between visitors. Many thanks to her for all her assistance these past two weekends, my husband who puts out all the signs and does many other related tasks for me.

Actually, statistics suggest they do work. And for those who don’t feel it applies to them, one assumes they can afford to pay.

Super enjoyed the concert. Have been dealing with *things* and it was so wonderful to have my mood lightened and enjoy myself. My one small kibbit is that the balance was off between the instruments and voices. You folks have wonderful harmonies, let them shine.
