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.
How wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the gentleman from Toronto packs that plate well...
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.
Deleteobviously a connoisseur - love that red one you have pictured above
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
DeleteIt's the good collectors that are our favorite customers too, Linda. They know how to buy pottery!
ReplyDeleteHi Barb, thanks, yes I was so surprised when he came back and was riding a motorcycle so far on vacation.

ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, thanks, so happy folks are appreciating my work.
DeleteDon't you love it when you work goes off to different countries? The maple leaf is perfect for Toronto!
ReplyDeleteSo great that you are doing well at the farmers market!
Hi Suzi, thanks, things are paying off here in Georgia unlike Florida, thank goodness, just need to make up for the very lean years.
ReplyDeleteI can see why that fellow from Toronto bought the leaf plate...it's beautiful, Linda. :)
