It wasn't until I started pairing metal with work a day objects that I really felt at home.<BR/><BR/>And, I am truly enamoured by the first piece.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425809129458460775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-66583487842695658872009-01-21T08:51:00.000-08:002009-01-21T08:51:00.000-08:00I'm workin' on it, dang it...I'm workin' on it, dang it...Whitney Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491079459627713472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-15763555593432684442009-01-21T04:35:00.000-08:002009-01-21T04:35:00.000-08:00As your sister, I am lucky enough to have a collec...As your sister, I am lucky enough to have a collection of your stuff that goes back to your Cabrillo days. Some of your oldest pieces are my favorites. <BR/><BR/>Some of them hold only a glimmer of your current style, others represent the beginning of designs that have blossomed (literally) into a style that you are now known for. <BR/><BR/>I have a few that I think make you cringe when you see them. I'm thinking of one in particular that you've rolled your eyes at (think celtic knots...) But I love it.<BR/><BR/>I have others that likely would have ended up in your New Year's pottery smash. Maybe the glaze didn't turn out the way you wanted and I snatched it off the shelf because I loved the shape, or another that has a chip in the body but I don't care because I love the lid.<BR/><BR/>Now, you better get famous so I can sell them all on ebay. ;)<BR/><BR/>Love, <BR/>Your SisterBrena Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951126052631417848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-68827131675142521832009-01-20T19:47:00.000-08:002009-01-20T19:47:00.000-08:00This is a really lovely entry.

This provides an accessibility to your magic touch too.Christine--RHPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209880537597263440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-31694625192851426762009-01-20T07:46:00.000-08:002009-01-20T07:46:00.000-08:00Oh wow.
