Saturday's "Among Friends" kiln-opening and pottery sale was a wonderful one-day event. Not only because everyone seemed happy with their sales, but because it was just a good time. The trick to enjoying this occasionally iffy business of staging an event in the summer on Cape Cod is to have a group of people that like each other and are fully capable of having fun, no matter how many pots go out the driveway.
But quite a few did. The joint firing was successful, Mike Race brought good coffee, Tammy Race made scones, Jo Ann Muramoto made a tomato tart, we had dozens of bagels and many, many chile dogs. What could be wrong with that? I suspect we'll do it again next year and give people a reason to come to Hatchville. Now ... if we can figure out how to plan cloudy, non-beach weather like yesterday's.

Yay! Glad things went well. It's been over a year now since I did an outdoor event, but this looks like a fun one. We loved Mikes coffe, Gerry is definitely hooked on fine roasted coffeesnow, thanks to Mike:)
Glad to hear you had some sales!
Sounds like a great time! I always think the day goes so much quicker when you have great stall buddies
