Thanks for the kind words, and what you're doing in Japan probably goes farther than buying a vase.<br /><br />Ad little wren, my personal secret terror is a tsunami!Whitney Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491079459627713472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-55426982501049998912011-04-13T02:37:34.370-07:002011-04-13T02:37:34.370-07:00I can't imagine anything more terrifying than ...I can't imagine anything more terrifying than getting caught in an earthquake.

Last summer I tried to ...Hello from Japan, Whitney!<br />Last summer I tried to go to the Goshogawara festival only to find out it was the first time in a few years they weren't holding one! (@&$#&!!) We did find and visit a cool pottery studio and store...I think maybe this is the place they do the festival? Not sure... (http://actegratuit.blogspot.com/2010/09/labor-day-weekend-second-third.html)<br /><br />I leave Japan this July so I'll probably miss it again. But it was cool to find out you were there! I've been following your blog for awhile now and I'm a big fan of your work.<br />I'm an amateur potter but ended up the pottery teacher here on base and I have lots of your pots in my inspiration folder. <br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to thank you for supporting Japan. I'd love to buy a vase, but we've completely maxed out our budget supporting other humanitarian efforts here. (And buying more emergency supplies for our 72-hour kits.)<br /><br />Hope you're successful and sell out quick!<br /><br />:)<br />Emily in Misawaacte gratuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168815832920494463noreply@blogger.com
