I am too; a little bit. Its just when you live in a town of 10,000 with 35 art galleries, it is a bit much...and lots of what is for sale is not art by any stretch of the imagination. It was a town joke that one sculpture that was donated to the humane society and always given as one of the top raffle prizeswas ALWAYS redonated back to them because no one wanted it in their home. LOL

The pieces I got yesterday are really gorgeous. I actually told one of the women I bought two pieces from that she was under valuing her work. A bowl for $8 and a plate for $3? A lovely very large ruffled bowl in purples and blues for $15?

There will be an Empty Bowls fundraiser featuring 5 pottery clubs and lots of entertainment on Sat. Nov. 19th at Lake Minona from noon to 4 pm. Tickets are $10 a person and all proceeds go to hunger relief. Tickets are available at Sweetbay or at the door. Ticket price includes soup, meal, entertainment, games, raffle and prizes. Sounds like a great time. I plan to go.
