It is a pleasure to arrive home after pushing piggies and mugs for several hours and find such intelligent discussion at my blog. Maggie, have you seen Gordo's Christmas tree?????
I've had the oddest thoughts popping into my head, today. I must be giddy from a wonderfully carnage-free shopping run this morning. I was out for two hours and didn't have a lick of trouble. I'm never that lucky.
Gary, we must keep in mind that the Sensible One purchased the tree. I take that as a sign of long-term exposure to my bent outlook.
Gordo, notice how somebody at a certain other blog has become a mite snippy when the conversation drifts? We shall ignore the gentleman and forge ahead with the creative blather. PPhhlllbbbtt! to him, if he is going to host chat and wonder why it goes so far afield.
I hadn't thought of that! 'What do you call 100 lawyers dropped into the ocean with concrete boots?'
'A good start'
Although actually you know as well as I do that if we got int real trouble in life, you can call your mom, but it might be more helpful to get a lawyer.
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

The market for yellow piggy banks is quite brisk.
How about swirly piggies? Swirly rainbow piggies. :-D
Gordo makes me laugh. His swirly rainbow piggies makes me wonder if he's been picking mushrooms from his yard...

I've noticed and had comment mentioning said drift edited, Gary.
Silly lawyers. LOL

oh, definitely. Alan is one of a pair of lawyers whom I know and trust.
HOWEVER, my partner in crime Gordo, it is fun and amusing to poke fun sometimes.
