McMaster-Carr to the rescue again. I finally found some boxes that I like – heavy double-walled on three sides, white paperboard. One smallish size, one slightly larger. Cost about .62 each for the smaller and about .97 each for the larger. Now if I can track down a nice-looking sticker or stamp to use as decoration, I’ll be all set!

Hey everyone – the Bid for the Barn is going amazingly well. They’ve received a huge outpouring of support from Vermonters, both as donations and as bidders. Its gratifying to live in a place where this is true! The donated stopper got into a bit of a bidding war earlier in the week, and went to almost 20% over its value. Nice validation, and a great donation! I’m hoping there’s another push once we get closer to the auction’s close on the 30th, but honestly I don’t really expect this to go higher. (When anyone can just come here and buy one at normal price.) In hindsight, in the future I may try donating a custom-designed item to create some extra value to the buyer. In the meantime, stoppers are rolling on again after a bit of a hiatus. I have a few new ones out for bisque, and some great ideas. (I’ll be pursuing the lamp finial idea, for one thing. I need to stop by Conant Brass and see what they can machine for me.)  Bid for the Barn - support Pete's Greens and local foods in Vermont! Pete’s Greens, a major local food provider for Vermont, much beloved by localvores and foodies alike, suffered a huge setback when their barn burned down. (Along with equipment, food, and more.) This is an online auction to help them rebuild! Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a huge foodie and love eating as locally as possible, so when I discovered I could donate to the online auction I jumped. (And as an artist, exposure is always a good thing, so this works out well for everyone.) The lucky bidder will get to choose the stopper of their choice, and will help out the local food economy while doing it. How can you go wrong?! Seriously though – check out the auction when it goes live on the 23rd – loads of good stuff in all kinds of price ranges, and all for a good cause. Brought to you by your local stopper mob:  Stopper mob, comin' ta getcha! |
