Corn Hill Art Festival is this weekend. I will be my usual spot, at the corn hill place, and usual 90F heat. I fired the kiln on 4th of July., and restocked small items. People are interested in below $30 items this year.
I had the periodontitis, and gum surgery in March and two weeks ago. I was warned by the dentist two years ago, but ignored it. After lossing two teeth with infection, I decided to treat it. The surgery takes about two hours, and I can’t chew that side for three weekks. Now, rice sticks to every teeth as my dentist said the rice is the perfect size to fit between the teeth. It is annoying, but better than losing more tooth, I guess.
With my surprise, I sold more than half of small teapots. I made some during the firing.

The first year show last weekend was, well bust. It was shame that there are so many quality arts and crafts, but hardly no customers. We have some kinds of shows and festivals every weekend in Rochester, and it is very hard to draw people without good plan and advertisements. Unfortunately, not like the field of the dream, If you build it, he will come.
I heard about the wind storms knocked down a half of booth during the Three River Art festival. I feel lucky not apply this year, and so bad for ones affected. There was another storm in Ohio knocked out the booths. I should be prepared this year as more extreme weather condition seems to continue this year.
I had the second gum surgery yesterday, and will stay away from potting next couple days. I really need to restock small items, though…
The Allentown Art Festival was great as usual. It was cooler side, and almost rain free weekend. We had a huge crowd on Sunday, and sales were better on Saturday. I used the cable tie to secure the canopy this time. It worked.
Next up, the Help the Shriners Help Kids” art and craft show. This is the first year show in Webster, NY. Would be very interesting. There were many talks about the Square credit card processing using the smart phone at the 100 American Craftsmen last weekend. My daughter is back home, and activated her phone. I will try the Square at this show.
Here is the teapot 16. I can’t find unfired photo
