Several of those pots are now gone...either sold or removed to make room for others that I wish to sell.
Another missing Mud Buddy is Bette Potter Jones, who used to sit in her chair and give the dogs treats. Several folks asked how she's doing. (She has decided not to come every Sat. and rather enjoy being at home at 90 years old!)
Friend Ellen had to go say hi to this pup. The owners said they had Golden Retrievers that missed seeing Bette (and her treats!)
Just 3 booths down from ours was a "day booth" set up by Cariku, the new pottery studio/school in Black Mountain. They had a mix of students and teacher's works for sale, and did a brisk business, definitely selling to our usual customers. Grrrr!
Before the market even opened, painters were at work on the new build across the street.
Today's Quote:
There are few uglier traits than this tendency -- witnessed in men no worse than their neighbors -- to grow cruel, merely because they possessed the power of inflicting harm. -Nathaniel Hawthorne, writer (4 Jul 1804-1864)
