Garden Planters, Waddle Pots, Nursery Items

Starting out on a new venture.  I have my Waddle Pots that I will be marketing to nurseries and gardening centers in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky.  They are fully waterproofed ceramic planters that are 8" high and  able to hold 1 quart of dirt or the quart plants that you can get at any garden center or nursery.  They are painted terra cotta, sealed with high gloss spray sealer and can withstand the weather, be it rain, snow, sun, wind, etc.  They are $25/ea. + s/h depending on if you want it shipped.  There are breaks if bought in bulk of more than 4.  Their eyes are painted, the "cracks" are highlighted white, along with the toenails and it has a nice little sunburn on their cheeks and nose, and the tops of their feet.  Their teeth are also painted white.  Below are pictures.

2 Farm Days Coming Up

We'll be at 2 Farm Days coming up in the next month. 

We'll have one on October 16, 2011 at Goats on the corner of New 441 and Tiger Connector in Tiger, GA.  You can't miss the place...live goats walking around the roofs of the buildings, a large multicolored goat sitting near the parking lot, and a place where you can feed the goats, plus a store where you can buy jams, jellies, drinks, boiled peanuts, etc.

The second one is on October 29, 2011 at Hillside Orchard Farms Store on Old 441 in Tiger.  It's off Worley Creek Drive on Sorghum Mill Dr. at the very corner of Old 441.  They have their corn maze during the day, and the haunted corn maze that night, their store is open and serves ice cream, fritters, homemade breads in all flavors, cold drinks, jams, jellies, relishes, sauces, has a walking trail, barnyard, animals, an ethanol plant, sorghum mill, hayrides, and our crafters will be there. 

Please join us at both events...stop by and say hi!

Selling 99% of Business

I wanted to keep it all, but there's no way I'll be able to.  I'm selling both kilns, 1 large pouring table, kiln furniture, the reclaiming machine, and about 1600 molds, along with glazes, 5 large boxes worth, tools, and a lot of the large shelving units.  I started out @ $60,000, went to $50,000, then $40,000, and now I'm at $25,000 with no reasonable offer refused.  A UHaul will be necessary to pick up everything, a large UHaul!  My ad is also on Craigslist.  I will be doing ceramics still. 

Cute Little Bunnies

I know it's coming up on Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and I do have a lot of ceramics already ready for those holidays, but I love my bunnies too.  Dixie, my dog, decided she had to be in the picture when I was taking pics of the bunnies.  Here are Peter, Cotton, & Tail!  I'm offering them at $7.00 each or for the set of 3 at $18.00

Merchandise for sale, Molds too!

My newest craigslist ad.  I don't know how else to go about selling.  Etsy.com, I was told, was a free site to go to where you could list your items for free...NOPE...20 cents per item.  That's fine and dandy if you don't have a lot...but over 1,000 items...gets a little costly!  Still have over 800 molds to sell too....am so desperate that am selling them at $2/ea.  Just need someone to come in and take them off my hands.  There's no way I'll be able to use them all!!
