Why You Should Always Use Your Own Pottery (at least in public)

[offcntr]

I'm sitting on a shady park bench, taking a break from the booth when a passing teenage girl says "That's a cool mug." I reply, "Thank you. I made it, and I'm selling them at the Arts Festival here this weekend."

If I'd been using someone else's mug, no matter how often I used it or how much I loved it, all I could have said was "Thank you."

Thus endeth Marketing 101.
