...and it is very fun, of course. But working at home makes holidays meaningless: there are hippo jars to finish and piggy bank bodies to make. Now, time to clean the bathroom. Glamourous life, eh?

Dude you're making incredible things with your hands. That other folks not only covet but pay good money for!
I can't thikn of much that would be more glamourous that that.
Oh, yeah, it's glamourous here in the corporate world, let me tell you. Eating rice and hambuger stirfry at my desk while waiting for my new manager to hurry up so my gal in CA can give the update once instead of twice.
Cleaning the bathroom is not terribly glamourous. If I keep hanging out with you people I will start adding all these unneccessary UUUUs. Gawd, I can't spell anymore...and then there is stuff like 'centre' and who knows how you people pronounce 'schedule'?
I am sorry.. but "shed-yule" clearly applies only to those up here living in the countryside. By county ordinance only they are allowed to decorate their out-buildings for the Christmas holidays. Thos of us in town can only decorate our main buildings. It states that CLEARLY in the county decoration 'skedule' ;)
As my old pal Gordo says:
"You want plain, old pots or plates? Go see the other guys. You want whimsy and creativity? Gary's the man!"

my pots are lead-free, microwaveable and dishwasher safe, just don't drop them!
Mary Lee got her pots and says: "Love 'em both......I'm also much relieved to find that both pieces are useable in any of the traditional manners, micro, dishwasher, etc., something I'd wondered about.
I'm truly delighted ....the glaze is so very much nicer in person. Photos do not do it justice, alas! "
Gary Rith is a full-time studio potter and also an instructor of pottery at Cornell University's Pot Shop.
Gary started learning pottery in 1983. In 1985 he served as an apprentice to Dean White of Deansboro, NY and earned a bachelor's degree in art from Bennington College in 1987. He has been a full-time sculptor and potter since 1997. Gary started his business in New Hamspshire, where he was selected as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2004 and in 2005 was named one of New Hampshire's Emerging Ceramics Artists. He moved to the Ithaca, NY area in 2006, near where he grew up, and is happily making pots and sculpture in a purple house on Fall Creek. Gary likes to laugh, and his first goal is to have fun making pots.

From Quebec, Mags gets excited:
GUESS WHAT? My pots arrived! Oh my GOD! They are beautiful and you are soooooooooo sweet
another happy pig lover wrote:
Thank you so much for the prompt delivery...... I LOVE it!!! This day has been very stressful, and your package certainly brightened it. :-) (Sometimes all ya need is a couple of pigs!)
These will be favorites.
Thanks again, M.P.
When Mona opened up her box of pots she said:
I went all gooshy 'cause they're absolutely amazing! The pigs are gosh-darned cute, and the glaze-work is gorgeous! I can't keep my hands off them! Seriously! I keep finding excuses to walk by them .....
Lucia has something to say:
Gary -
You're awesome.
The vase is beautiful!! It's even more lovely than it looked in the photo. And the surprise, I laughed so loud at its cuteness that a co-worker came in and asked what was so funny. Thank you so much! I felt just like it was Christmas here in the office this morning, and I'm smiling. Wooooohooo!!! You're excellent.
--Lucia
E.S. sez:
The package made it in excellent condition! I absolutely loved them. I almost couldn't part with the pig mug, but I gave it to my coworker for her birthday who is in love with pigs.
and more happy customers say:
"Gary, my pots arrived! They're beautiful just as I expected
I just wanted to thank you ever so much...adorable." Maggie

Oh yea? I just got a small but mightily wonderful beer shipment free from a beer blog advertiser. Now that is pure glamour.

That depends on the weather and the phase of the moon. They teach you the algorithm in citizenship class.
'shed-yule'
Under certain circumstances, yes. I think that one also requires a person to stand on one foot. I'll have to consult the manual.

OK, I can't resist:
"oot and aboot!!!!"
What gibberish are you on about now?
I don't know where Greg got his skedule, but I have a sked-jule.
Chesterfield!
oot & aboot!!!???
HEY! I represent that! =)

We'll bring the citizenship papers to the pub on Saturday ...
Ultimate test: beer or BEERS?
Beer
Quatro cerveza pour favour!
I don't know why we say beers down here, in general, but Chicagoans, of course, say 'beerssss'
umm.. whaddya say for more than one beer then?
It's all beersss, single, double, plural. Worth discussing face to face, men.
I completely forgot: beer can be singular or multiples, but pitchers are a different story ... :-D
I think, Gordo, that even a pitcher counts, in Chicago anyway, as beersss.
We clearly say "I drank a beer" and "I drank three beer" up here. I don't know why other than we also say "I ate a moose" and "I ate three moose."
