A quickly-put-together ceramics auction to benefit the people of Japan is so successful. A moneyed person could put together a great collection from the American and Japanese potters who have donated, if they bid within the next 24 hours.
To see the offerings:

It's for a very worthy cause!

Handmade For Japan
A hastily-formed group has put together a pottery and handmades auction to raise
money for earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan. There was such an outpouring of
support from artists that they had to stop accepting new donations! A fantastic amount of money has been raised in a very short time, close to $40,000, and they still have two days to go! That's the spirit!
It's all happening on ebay - search for Handmade for Japan.

St.Patrick's Day
Today we went down to the Senior Center for lunch. This is the liveliest bunch of oldsters you ever want to meet! (They even let non-seniors in!) I qualify, but Chris doesn't. Quite.
It was really good food including organic salads. They have a big garden in the back.
It was a pleasant respite from the worrying news from Japan.

New Month
Is March the month that comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb? Does anyone else remember that saying? Am I becoming an old fogie? (Is anyone reading this, so does it matter?)
It's been a lot of work getting ready for our next show...The La Quinta Art Festival.
We've been showing our pottery there for about 16 years - and it's always a good show.(next to Palm Springs) After a slim winter, it's time to fatten the coffers- so for us, it's time to work even harder to have the new and wonderful to display.
Anyone who thinks you can get rich making handmade pottery is crazy! But, when all is said and done, we still love working with clay. Today we fire the kiln.
