I went away at the weekend to my sons' annual family barbecue.  It was lovely to catch up with all the other members of the family who came along.

As I had to miss two selling events to go along, I took along half a dozen samples of my work and some business cards so that some of the more distant relatives could see what I do.  To my surprise, my sister-in-law bought a bowl, then the following day after I got home, my sister texted me to order three items!  So it all turned out quite positively.

Most of the people there had seen photos of my pots, but seeing things in real life is always better as they can pick up and handle the items, and see more detail.

Today it's back to work with a vengeance as I have several commissions to finish as well as the new ones to start!
