Hello everybody! We are plunging into the communication world. There is so much going on at the pottery that you might like to know. First off, we are setting up baby events in Danvers, June 26 and Mystic in July , date to follow. We'll go back to the Battery in NYC in September. That may be the most baby friendly area in the city: Every woman who didn't have a stroller was sporting a bump. The street had lighter air and a lot of people were smiling.
The painters are in overdrive painting the hands and feet, decorations and names etc. on the many many many baby prints I have promised for Father's Day. The marker board has a countdown number of work/week days and so far we are holding our own. Interspersed between all of those tiles are gallery pieces a returned-for-a-short-time maker has been working on, a few wedding pieces, some tile orders and occasional wholesale orders.
We all love going outside to the terrace for lunch; the birds twitter and flit around, the flowers along the entry walk are thriving, the sun glances through the unfolding leaves and all is right with the world. Big Time! Our interesting renters, a builder, three artists, a psychologist, come in and out stopping to visit. The animals, Beau, big black mongrel with an uncertain past and a cavalier tail, Priscilla, the small gray cat lethal among the little seed eating animal world, and Marsha the kitty, 6 months old, same markings as Beau and crazy. She is either asleep on the computer keyboard or acting out some interior adventure movie with Bruce Willis, up and down the maple tree, through the lily leaves and over the lunch table, your shoulder, and the fence all at frantic speed.
So much for today. Our daughter comes home from abroad Sunday. We are beside ourselves in anticipation...
