We've got a shop over on Etsy, which is an awesome handmade/crafts marketplace. As a seller, i love how easy everything is for me over there. I should have done this years ago!<br />Check our our <a href="http://www.dancingpigpots.etsy.com/">Etsy store</a> &amp; don't forget to bookmark it &amp; share it with all your friends!<br /><br />and then, there's this: Despite a stunning lack of publicity, we are in fact going to be in Maryland, THIS WEEKEND, selling pots. That's right, it's our semi-annual appearance at<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.artoffire.com/">Art of Fire's</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Open House &amp; Studio Tour</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I love this "rite of spring"! It's my first show of the spring season &amp; i get to show off all the cool stuff we've been working on over the winter break. We'll have lots of chocolate pots and there will be lots of Ceilidh pots (the ones that Jill/Bran &amp; i have been collaborating on) as well. Plus, our newest puppy, Ursa Minor, (pictured in this post) will be making her social debut. Even if you don't need pots (and really, doesn't everyone NEED pots?- don't answer that!) you should at least stop by for a chat &amp; a cuppa tea.<br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">That's all happening<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">THIS WEEKEND Friday, Saturday &amp; Sunday, April 11, 12 &amp; 13<br />from 10 til 5 each day.</span></span><br /></div>As an added bonus, our neighbor from Maryland Renaissance Festival, Allen the Printmaker, will be at the Art of Fire's Open House also. It'll be like a little mini Renn Fest Spring Preview!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_fcW4rLQXN40/R_uTSZIpLMI/AAAAAAAAARg/vHvZLWard88/s1600-h/etsy+pics+3rd+164.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_fcW4rLQXN40/R_uTSZIpLMI/AAAAAAAAARg/vHvZLWard88/s320/etsy+pics+3rd+164.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186901340041325762" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Details about the other studios on the tour can be found <a href="http://www.countrysideartisans.com/">here</a><a target="_blank" href="http://www.countrysideartisans.com/" _base_target="_blank"></a><br />Details about Art of Fire &amp; a street address for mapquest purposes can be found <a href="http://www.artoffire.com/">here</a><br />and last but certainly not least, a direct link to our up to date calendar,<br />with the rest of our spring show schedule in all it's glory can be found <a href="http://www.pigfuturescalendar.blogspot.com/">here</a><a target="_blank" href="http://www.pigfuturescalendar.blogspot.com/" _base_target="_blank"></a><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_fcW4rLQXN40/R_uIqJIpLKI/AAAAAAAAARQ/fDzpbL-6yk4/s1600-h/early+February+08+082.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_fcW4rLQXN40/R_uIqJIpLKI/AAAAAAAAARQ/fDzpbL-6yk4/s320/early+February+08+082.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186889653435313314" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">(above: Ursa, cooling down after playing w/ the big dogs)</span>mudcelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02572077110404222743noreply@blogger.com
