Enough about produce and on to studio news...
We have been busy getting ready for a Bridal Show this Saturday. Yep, you heard right, a bridal show. It's local, only four hours long and relatively inexpensive to do. It won't be much of a selling day, but hopefully will lead to some orders. Jeff and I have done custom wedding plates/platters for weddings as well as vases for table centerpieces. Perhaps we can get some bridal registries as well. This was a last minute decision for us so we have been scrambling to get samples made.
The other day I had some fun and made a few of child sized mugs...
I hope this cold snap ends soon... we have been spoiled. I don't want to load the gas kiln in the cold and we need to fire either tomorrow or Wednesday!
Stay warm everyone.
Agreed, the over packaging is rediculous! I practically rip my hands apart when trying to open some of them~ of course this cellophane isn't hand-ripping, but still...!
ReplyDeleteLove the mugs, I can relate to needing to move around different projects for variety. I used to get down on myself for it, but now choose to look at it as supporting the creative spirit within ;)
PS oops ~ ridiculous, I mean...
ReplyDeleteBut then again everyone hasn't touched that pepper. Good luck with the bridal show, one of my friends in California said he did great getting future rentals for his ranch for weddings, the show was well attended.
ReplyDeleteI bought one the other day as well and thought please dear lord tell someone to stop this madness. We bought the new light blubs to save energy and the two pack has so much waste I could not quit thinking about how waseful that is - save us money but the packaging will be around for my great,great,great grandkids!
ReplyDeleteLinda... I know what you mean. I am a freak about things being handled by so many! I would rather be able to wash it than deal with the packaging.
ReplyDeleteMeredith... I have been bothered by having to peel off stickers on produce so the whole cellophane thing made me nuts. When we were in NH there were these awesome little compari tomatoes but came in a cutesy BOX and I hated that I liked them enough to buy them. They were good tomatoes and I would have bought them without the cutesy box!!!
light bulbs are a whole other discussion!!
mmmmm, nice mugs indeed :)
ReplyDeletePeter Piper put back his peck of peppers when he realized they'd been packaged.
