Pottery


I have a love for pottery. I don't quite know when this affection started but I think it may have something to do with a sweet piece of Red Wing my grandmother gave to me many years ago. Since then, I've collected a few more pieces and rotate them throughout the house. I had originally thought I was going to start a floral business that would include a line of simple arrangements displayed in an original piece of pottery. Although the price would be a bit higher than those ordered with a glass vase, the pottery is an antique, a piece of decor that could be used now and passed down to others in the future. So, this idea has been swirling in my head and I so badly want to go in this direction, but then I'm stopped. I'm stopped by the fact that not everyone would appreciate these pieces. What if one of these vases or pots ended up in the wrong hands and wasn't displayed or cherished as I cherish them? I bought a few Red Wing and McCoy vases and planters this year with the intent on using them for customers. My husband said right off the bat "you'll never sell those", knowing that I would love them too much to give them up. I fear he's right.
