2017-12-08 - Friday - Show set up

Friday night we set up the garage for the Goneaway Pottery Holiday Sale. It's a lot of work to get the garage ready, but it really shines when everything is set up.

I took a break in the middle to have supper with Karen, then it was back to work.

Saturday - terra4m Sale and dinner at the Kelley's

Saturday was the first terra4m sale of 2011.  It was a nice spring-like day with temperatures in the high sixties.  We were pleased to have several friends stop by and visit with us.  We didn't break any records, but it was so nice to sit in the sun and spend some time with good friends.  Unfortunately our good friend Elaine, the other member of terra4m was unable to attend the sale and we missed her.

Tom and Lisa invited us over later to cook some steaks and we were quick to accept.  Their sons, Daniel and Christopher were having some fun with a stuffed monkey that was part of a Valentine's Day gift.  We all had several fits of giggles being silly with the monkey.

All in all, a good day.  I hope yours was too.

2010-09-25 Saturday - Mount Holly

Saturday I was at the Mount Holly Autumn on Main festival with Elaine and Paul.  We had a nice setup thanks to Becky Story for the tent and Chris Beloni for loaning me her shelves.  We had high hopes since Becky and Elaine had pretty good sales there last year, but the crowds just weren't in attendance this year.  There was plenty of beautiful artwork for sale, live music, and food.  With 90+ degree temperatures and several other festivals and shows happening simultaneously, the attendees were sparse.

The rest of the pictures are here.

I was on the right and Elaine was on the left.

Chris' shelves really showed off my work.

I tried to keep the display open and airy by not overloading it.

Not my usual "yard sale" look, for sure.

2010-06-23 Wednesday - Villa Francesca

The members of Terra4m met on Wednesday to discuss what we thought worked and didn't work for our first sale.  Overall we thought it went pretty well, but there were several suggestions for changes on the next one.  We also tossed around some ideas for other sales --stay tuned.

2010-06-19 Saturday - Inaugural Terra4m Sale

We had our Terra4m inaugural sale on Saturday and it was quite a success.  Becky's yard was a wonderful place to set up our displays and we had quite a bit of traffic.  I think Kim's bird baths were the star of the sale, but nobody did badly.  Participating were Terra4m artists Kim Marcadis, Elaine Spallone, Becky Story, and me.  Guest artists were Lisa (Lulu) Connell with clay, Cyn Kent with watercolors, Max McLeod with clay and photos, Nicholas Nelson with clay, and Cindy Tuccitto with clay.  We had lots of Clayworks visitors and we appreciate the great support.  Ju-Ian stopped by and even brought us ice cream!

It was extremely warm as June has hit us like August, but everyone was in good spirits.  The traffic really dropped off in the late afternoon due to the heat.  Based on that theory we are going to start our next summer sale earlier in the day.

We set out refreshments and we set up a table near the entrance that allowed people to sign up on our mailing list which entered them into a drawing for a piece of pottery from each of us Terra4mers.

It was a good start for Terra4m and we are looking forward to the future.
