"Gary, you gotta meet Jacci, she's starting this new gallery in Aurora" and there were emails and it turned out I had met Jacci a couple of years ago, when she bought pots from me for her daughter, to celebrate her daughter's finally passing a driver's test. I would say a piggy mug is great incentive and reward, and the girl made it on the third try.
SO ANYWAY Aurora is this fab little town north of Ithaca, up Cayuga Lake a bit, and it has a little college and cute main street and such, and this is the former school bldg, tres gorgeous, right on the lake front.
I made my display yesterday, after Jacci and the gang said
"make it bright, colorful, wild" and after you saw me rummage around the garage, I got my display together and brightly painted.
The wife this morning is like
"this thing is still wet" and I am like "no no, its fine, really, it will be dry by the time I get there" and I arrive and Jacci is nearly hyperventilating with joy she loves my display so much (she is soooo nice, that's her down there in her photo studio) but then Jacci is like
"is this oil paint? It's still wet" and I am like "latex, its supposed to be sticky..." and I hide my hand which is purple and wasabi green....
Blah blah blah, did I mention my teapot won a BIG FAT PRIZE and I am gonna be on TV? Sorry to sound jaded, but, ahem, it is not the first time me and my teapots have been in TV (readers may remember 3 years ago) More on that later....
and there is our house, with the snow getting deeper and deeper...

LOVELY display... I knew there would be purple in there somewhere... ;)
So, I just saw on the Yahoo news that Fullerton has gotten 55 inches of snow in 9 days. How far are you from Fullerton, NY?

We are a short distance south of Fullerton (or is it Fulton?). They are closer to Lake Ontario and have a bit more than us :)

Yup! That display is a real wowser, and all with 'found' stuff plus energy and imagination. The colors are so attractive and should have done some powerful pulling on people to come look! Hope you made a bundle.

Sorry about all the lake effect snow you're getting. We're supposed to get a couple of inches on Thur nite/Fri.
