We now have a second location for the Ceramics Shop...not only do we have it at Jackie's Place, which isn't going as well as Amber and I had dreamed, but we have a place at Eden's, in Turnerville, about 12 miles away...it's a daylily farm, plus it has arts & crafts too.  Danny, Amber, and I went there and toured the place, then we came back to the storage unit, picked up a shelving unit and went back, only to figure out that it looked better on a tiered wooden small unit than the big gray metal one.  We have 1/2 at Jackie's Place and 1/2 at Eden's, and I've been painting and cleaning some here.  As soon as we get the kiln up and going, I'll have a lot to do then. 



Two fence rails...one with grass one with stone.



2 Haunted Trees...although they do have fall colored leaves, apples, and flowers.

Painted Angel, inside book has "Hark the Herald Angel's Sing, Glory to the Newborn King.

My Sunnyside Up Eggs...the legs and arms have the colors of sports teams, except the white and yellow one standing on it's head!



Finally Done, Finally Here

We went to Tennessee and finally brought the rest of the stuff home.  Between the kids being sick, making a 5 mile roundabout to end up where we started, and it was where we needed to be, to fighting about needing extra pads, which we didn't, fighting over the price and whether we were paying cash or credit card, and finally that the tire wasn't flat, only needed air...YEAH, RIGHT...that's why Danny's hand could be put all the way up inside the tire.  Took them an additional 2 hours to fix, but we got it loaded at home the same day...all in all...took 13 hours.  Unloaded it within 1 1/2 hours the next day, and now we have everything here.  In the meantime, we have stuff sitting at the Indoor Flea Market at what used to be the produce place, but now it's called Jackie's Place...three shelves of ceramics and two shelves of molds.  We hope it does good.

All Fired Up...The Beginning

It started out as a simple venture, really....2 Kilns, 600 Molds more or less, some shelving units, brushes, paints, tools, and some bisque and greenware pieces, a pouring table and some extras...the pictures we saw showed a small undertaking.  We called the people who were selling it on Saturday night, got all the information, discussed pricing, exactly what they had, and was told they had a "steep driveway."  (In my mind the steep driveway was straight up....NOPE, it ended up being straight down!)  We got the biggest UHaul they had, a 26' one.  Sunday, I went onto the computer and wrote down all directions, found out that Google Earth has an awesome virtual tour, which was really great in directions.  Monday morning at 6:30 a.m. we were on our way.  We get to the house and find out that it's not just a "small venture", it's a HUGE venture.  Way, way over 600 molds, 2 kilns, a pouring table, 2 other tables that had been nailed together to make a large space to pour multiple molds at once, paints, paints, paints, and more paints, brushes, tools, 20 large shelves units full of bisque and greenware, 9 shelving units, which ended up being 41 large shelves packed full of molds, not to mention the ones they had on the floor, under the pouring tables, and the ones in their garage.  We spent 2 days loading everything we could, still have another trip to make, and unloaded everything in 4 hours 10 minutes in a storage unit.  Let's just say the trip back was nail biting!!!!!!  Amber, Brian, and I started organizing everything at the storage unit, and we brought home 3 boxes of stuff so I could start painting.  Now all we have to do is find a shop, and as of right now, we're operating out of the house.  You see some of the finished pieces so far.  More will be added as they are finished.

We have all of these for sale, plus we'll be selling some molds, and the bisque you can buy either painted or unpainted, along with greenware being sold too.

We have everyday stuff for sale, chilipots, lotion dispensers, lamps, vases, cups, teapots, plates, spoonrests, candleholders, napkin holders, etc., plus we have holiday stuff, such as, Halloween:  pumpkins, ghosts, witches....Christmas:  3 wisemen, poinsetta Christmas tree, 4" Christmas tree....just to name a few.
