greetings from the coast

Hi all,
I will just say hi, to keep the blog rolling along.Annie you will be glad to know there is a bottle shop about 5 minutes walk away from Mart and Claire,s place so Claire doesnt have to start stock piling.
The womens fellowship of the pots went on an excursion to an amazing ceramic exhibition last night in Port Kembla. 3 local women potters were exhibiting, very beautiful stuff, and very inspiring for us beginners.
I have finally been allowed to "try" to make a teapot, by my potting guru, Ms Chell Jones. She has lent me a book on the hows and whys of teapot making. I am overwhelmed, and now realise why I had to wait till I had a decent amount of knowledge and experience with clay. I will never look at a teapot in the same way again.One of the exhibiters last night, has indeed perfected the art of teapot making, and it was beautiful to behold!!
Tonght Genevieve (aka Evie Chesterfield) is heading to the Illawarra, if she can still stand, after a very hectic week at the Mercedes Fashion Week in sydney. I will plan an itinerary today, so we can squeeze in as many of the best Illawarra op shops as we can tomorrow. Also it is national garage sale weekend this weekend, as Im sure you are aware Mart, so it will be double the action. Reminder to myself-put roof racks and trailer on car!! For those interested there should be a register on line of addresses partaking in the garage sale scheme. Its all about recycling so get out there and save the world for your grandkids to come. As I dont have to worry about that angle, I'll just do it for the fun of it!!
Love to you all. Its going to be a fun weekend.
P.S. Mum dont forget what you have to do.
Love Zak
