(cups by Gary Rith, Sammy the marmalade cat and Emily the pudgy, basketball shaped cat) John is a blogger and cat lover in England, therefore I stop what I am doing and put up some cat pictures. Aim to please around here, oh yes.
Forget it Mona, but I have a pint of bourbon that is all yours....
Sadly, Sammy who is nearly 17 has been sickly this past week. However, I am letting him have all the chopped liver and salmon he can ask for and eat, and it seems to help a little. Sure, that's spoiling, but he has EARNED anything he wants fom me.
No Bonnie, it is important to shop with me so that my cats can have salmon. Mine is NOT the usual run of the mill junk, it is hand-made quality junk. Thanks so much for visiting!
I know, lotsa cat pics makes a GOOD blog. and I think this is an amusing new word gratutious, we can give it a meaning such as 'grateful for the little things in life, like cat pics'
My brother managed to get rid of his allergy by getting a cat. Malcolm (the cat) is 17 now. My allergies have always been much worse than Pete's, so that wouldn't work for me. I have a thing about litter boxes, too ...
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

May I borrow those kitties and take them to work with me? Sometimes all you need is a cat cuddle to get thru a particularly difficult day....

aww mannnnn I hope he feels better soon!
Oh man I have so many blogs to read and now I add another! Worse I may go shopping and I promised our kids I'd cut down on stuff.
Buying from Gary does not count as shopping. Consider it a bold political statement.
i'm so sorry to hear sammy isn't feeling well. make sure the salmon is wild and not farm-raised ;)

Thanks so much for visiting!
There is NO SUCH thing as a gratuitous cat photo!

It's a darn good thing cat pictures don't make me sneeze like real cats ...
whoa! guess you'll never visit here, eh?
Did I say that? I won't be moving in. I can visit, I just have to take my meds.
actually, I grew up allergic and omehow grew out of most of my allergies
OK Gord, we want you to visit, oh yes.
