It was a very fun weekend at the art fair.
Not only did I have the best art fair assistants ever (again)… thank you Mom & Dad…
and nice art fair neighbors California paper artist Donna & Colorado painter Tim…
but there were a lot of people show stopped by to say ‘hello’ and to let me know
that they follow me on Facebook and read my blog on a regular basis. Imaging that.
Just when you start to wonder if anyone out there is reading this dribble that I keep
putting out there… someone comes around and says thank you! And makes me feel
like I might be sharing something worthwhile. And maybe I should keep it up?!

I think it might the addition of my Facebook page into the mix.
Never before have we had so many people stop by and mention that they follow me
and my ongoing anecdotes & photos. Whether other potters like Jean Burnett &
Nancy Gardner who were also exhibiting at the fair… or random customers who said
they follow me. I even had one Facebook “follower” Bev who lives in Kentucky
and came all the way to Hinsdale. When I asked her ‘why?’… she said because she
couldn’t make it to Schaumburg for my previous art fair!

So thank you again to everyone who stopped by to say hello!
It was very heart-warming to find out that so many people are indeed reading my blog!
And following me on Facebook.

So if you’re one of them… and I assume you must be if you are reading this right now…
and very special thank you to YOU. If you’re on Facebook, be sure to find me at
