well im made it thru the 3 day january extraganza,,, i think the crazy weather had everybody worn out and it just wasnt very exciting,,,

my friend Joyce, brought me a joy postle painting of a heron standing in waterlilies that was most beautiful to hang in my booth just for ''show and tell'' not to sell,, the painting looked great hanging behind my bird motif potteries,,, and heres the wierd part,,ive never seen joy postle paintings anywhere at the market for sale and when dealer folks saw the heron, 2 of them came back and offered to sell me their joy postle paintings, trading for pots,,WOW,, i was and am so excited to own them,, one is a big landscape of north carolina and the other is a flying egret and waterlilies,,

the florida art museum is working on a joy postle exhibit, so they may be going to be in the show,,

i thought after the extravaganza i would have a few days to exhale before getting back to potterying,, but then i realized i had to get my eustis home ready to be sold,, which meant moving and cleaning and moving and cleaning

and then the backus museum called and needs me to bring more pots for their opening on the 29th,, so ive been making pots, cleaning and moving all at once all week long,,

and now bob has sold his rental house thats full of MORE furniture and stuff and all of that has to be moved this next week too,,,
of course the freeze turned my eustis tropical gardens into a ''adams family'' garden so i have to do something w/ that too,,,

i have my ''moose lodge carribiean cruise'' flyer on the wall, as my hope of  fun in the future,, sigh,,
ok im off to the market,, to make more pots and sell pots,, so i can make more pots so i can sell more and make my 2 mortgage payments,, could life be any simpler?!
i swear i will put up pictures of pots this week,, im doing some cool seminole indian vases and some of painted birds,,, the snowey egrets are killer looking on pots
