Clay Fest day .5: The final frontier
Oct. 10th, 2015 07:15 amScrambling to get to the fair grounds before 10 am to enter a serving bowl into the gallery before they close the registry.
After that, it's a more leisurely morning, hanging the mirror and plate hangers on the grid panel on the back of the booth, organizing my restock boxes behind the counter, putting up shelf talkers--small strip signs that tell customers what pots are and what they cost. The mirror tile surround has an Alaskan theme that somehow permeates the plates surrounding it. We have puffins, salmon, moose, bear, eagle, orca, arctic fox. It'll be interesting if I can continue the theme through the weekend as things sell. And whether anyone besides me will notice. I play these games to amuse myself at shows sometimes...

Potluck at lunch is a nice time to relax and refuel. The apple pie I brought is still warm--one of the reasons I was nearly late this morning, I was baking--and soon gone. Then home to gather a few things I'm missing--restock pots, reprinted shelf talkers. And take a nap. I sense a theme developing here.
