Shipping day
Jun. 7th, 2018 08:29 pmHaving just unloaded a kiln, it's time to distribute all the special orders. The dessert plate, tool crock, cookie jar, stew mug and colander are all for locals, and will be picked up at Saturday Market. The dinner salad bowls customer is going out of town, so she agrees to come by today and pick them up.
That just leaves a set of plates, a soup bowl, several platters, a bunch of toddler bowls, a spoon rest (I know, I said I'd never make spoon rests. What can I say. Helen has been ordering from me for years...) Time to load up the shipping-mobile.

This is actually a light load; I've tied on as many as five or six boxes into that basket before. It's a short jaunt to the post office, the weather is gorgeous, and my doctor is always after me to get more exercise. So away I go, whittling away at my carbon footprint.
