Holiday Shopping Update

We've just managed to relist yarn bowls in our Etsy shop. So, if you can't make it out to see us for the second and last weekend at Art of Fire Contemporary Glass Blowing Studio's Studio Tour THIS Friday, Saturday and Sunday December 13, 14 & 15 from 10 til 5 each day

There's no snow forecast this weekend!

The Holidays are already upon us?!

And shopping opportunities abound.

You can always come shop at our favorite retail shop: A&A Village Treasures, in downtown Gettysburg.

Or, if that's too far afield, we're going to be at the Art of Fire's Holiday Open House, in Laytonsville MD for the first two weekends of December. This year that's Friday, Saturday & Sunday December 6, 7 & 8 and again December 13, 14 & 15. As always, Tuatha Gallery will be with us with their awesome Celtic Jewelry and Art and rustic wood treasures. And we'll have some new cheeky minion mugs:

Arabesque Teaparty! 

As well as lots of Arabesque Pottery! It's the perfect handmade holiday shopping experience, far from the soul sucking chaos of suburban shopping mall hell. Come out to meet and support local artists. Our passion for our work shines through in our beautifully crafted, carefully curated wares. Wares that you can buy for yourself and everyone on your shopping list! 

And if that's not enough, I solemnly swear we'll have our Etsy store back up and running by the end of this week. That's November 8 for those of you keeping track. I'm doing my best to make it easy for you to give lots of Dancing Pig Pots this holiday season. I gotta go take more pictures and list more pots...

Forsooth! It's Faire Season Already?!

Yup. We're at the Virginia Renaissance Festival for their entire five weekend season this year, and it's already the second weekend. (Time flies when you're having fun!)

This weekend (May 18/19) has a Shakespeare theme! And this is the ideal Faire to go to if you enjoy interacting with the cast: so friendly, entertaining & just well done.


So, forsooth y'all. Come on out and play before the crowds figure out that Faire has started. And don't forget to buy pots. If you use the secret phrase of the week, um... "forsooth y'all" at our booth, we'll give you a 25% discount. Get out your garb, grab your friends and come on out to play. And buy pots!

See you at Faire!

Come Play with the Fairies!

Hey! Hey! Listen! We're busy busy busy getting ready for Spoutwood Fairie Festival THIS WEEKEND, May 3, 4 & 5. Spoutwood is the Grandmother of Fairie Festivals and a highlight of our spring and all y'all need to tell your friends, put on your fairie finest and come out to play in the woods & fields and welcome spring with a loud KUBIANDO!!!!

This year we're going to be in a new to us location: instead of up on the hill we're going to be down in the bog on Glimmer Place. Much closer to the parking lot! Which will make it much easier for you to get all of your wonderful pottery purchases home, right? RIGHT!

Can't wait to see you there!
