BRING IN FAMILY AND FRIENDS THESE NEXT TWO WEEKS - WE'LL SHIP

Ya'll are crazy if you don't pop in at least to get your pottery for the new year. You know how infrequently I run deals this good and all of this good will comes to a screaching halt in January.

Pottery Glazes will change for the new year - The studio fee associated with those will be related to the size of the piece. Don't worry I will have a chart.

Holy Hot Chocolate - IT'S DECEMBER

I swear the last time I was cognizant of my surroundings it was August. Can anyone explain what happened? I feel like I have been planning for this month all year and I am actually shocked it is here.

FANTASTIC NEWS - I have some really great girls helping us to get through the holidays - Two of them are named Stacy (or Stacey) and the third is Christie. So call "her" Stacy first and then try Christie if you don't see me there.

Sorry about not updating the phone message at the store for the Thanksgiving hours - I have been sick (yes-again) and slept through most of that week. Pathetic.

HOURS AROUND CHRISTMAS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

CLOSING AT 4:00 PM ON CHRISTMAS EVE
CLOSING AT 4:00PM ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

CLOSING SUN JANUARY 1 THROUGH FRIDAY THE 6TH

Ya'll have been asking me for years to be open for you to bring family and the kids the week after Christmas and I have the staff to do it this year - who knows about next - so come on down I will have big specials that week.

Speaking of specials:

Wednesday = $3 an hour before 3pm -discount on studio fee
Thursday = Ladies' Night again
Friday = 20%off any pottery with the letter "P" in the code word [see the price tag]

Extra deals will be posted for the post Christmas week.


Does that seem to hit all the bases? Lots of pottery in now -several new pieces...get your group on the calendar now (painting parties) because space is really running out...paint platters early so that we have time to fire them for you...PUT YOUR NAME ON EVERYTHING _ NO EXCEPTIONS...have bought new brushes, bet you never thought you would see that...new pottery glazes are in...we painted samples of each of the most popular handprint designs

I am rambling now, as is characteristic of 2am in the morning -

You know, so very many of you coming in this holiday season for your umpteenth handprint have been coming for so long now - I thank you. When I think of all of those trees with a collection of ornaments like that it is a warm fuzzy. How cool to give the kids when they start their own trees one day.... [ramble ramble..] sincerely though - thank you.


HEY! - I would love to post photos around the store that show your pottery on display at home or on the tree or in the yard or where ever...bring one in for a discount coupon.
