Well, now that the fall shows are over, its time to tuck in for a long winter's sleep and studio maintenance! Nothing says "holiday" quite like cleaning kiln shelves, doing inventory and the annual Christmas cull of wobbly, slightly warped pots - its hammer time, minus the weird pants. Those of you old enough to understand that obscure reference should immediately go and reward yourselves with a nice holiday treat. Anyway, thanks very much to everyone who came out to the craft shows, braving the wild weather and taking the time to stop by the booth for a visit and to add to your collections. Have a wonderful holiday season and a happy and prosperous New Year!
