I didn't bake brownies but instead spent time weaving. Yesterday I checked the heavens, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and prosperity went retrograde over the weekend and will stay that way until the beginning of April........

My partner was a football fan so he alway took that Sunday off to watch.

You were waiting for them (but in retail, after awhile, you get used to the people who talk big then blow you off). Then sometimes when you see them, they ask how it went then act like it is OK they didn't come because the event went well even though they didn't show up....they can feel unguilty. Just so dang rude, though, which is how retail can be, and we just smile through and keep working because it is still the best job therei s.Gary's third pottery bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517401528128108791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-33718290790418320392014-12-16T02:50:29.897-05:002014-12-16T02:50:29.897-05:00Damn.

And no one came. We can probably all relate to this,some times no one comes. I heard from several artists that attendance for the Chatham County Studio tour was really off this past weekend too. Where was everyone?! Probably at a ballgame in this sports obsessed country! Wish I could have come, I had to work. <br />I'm sorry :-(Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-34555915808543807622014-12-15T20:44:31.683-05:002014-12-15T20:44:31.683-05:00Sorry the open house was a bust, but you can't...Sorry the open house was a bust, but you can't beat homemade brownies! Though there are a tiny amount of people who read my blog, I linked to your shops in today's post (before I read yours). Maybe it will send one or more to check out your lovely pots.

I like that.<br />I didn't have an open studio sale this year. I just didn't have enough inventory built up to make it worth while. <br />Enjoy those homemade brownies.
