Hello Toronto

Yesterday I had the best day yet selling my pottery at the farmer's market, thanks so much to all who expressed an interest in my pottery and to all my new collectors. I was so humbled and proud. Two bowls from the recent firing found new homes and lots of other pieces: platters, wall tiles, and small and large vases.

One gentleman on a motorcycle from Toronto bought this large sycamore leaf plate to take back to Canada. He spent a long time looking at each piece of my pottery and left. Later he came back and bought my leaf plate. We saw him leave the market with his motorcycle sagging with items he's found on his trip. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

    1. Hi Sue, thanks, I packed it up in bubble wrap and a thick paper bag, now that I think of it, it should have been a plastic bag around that since it could rain.

    1. Hi Anna, thanks, yes he must have liked pottery, he examined each piece for a long time with his eyes, never picking one up until he chose a leaf plate. I do have signs that say touch me, or pick me up.
