Can I paint you some pottery?

It's delivery day for Nikkidoodle Designs. These boxes were inside 3 very large boxes. Thankfully (this time) Ella barked to let me know the UPS truck was at the house. So I quickly made my way to the front door & asked politely if he would bring them inside because I couldn't lift them. I then had to push & drag them into my room/office where I proceeded to check everything in. Well, I guess everything that came. One item was missing from the order form & from my list so I will have to rectify it with the company. As you can see from a couple of the pictures, Ella wanted to be close to me so you will see her lovely tail. Look for the next blog & you'll see where Ella is actually trying to take over my job!

The basics of any pottery business, plates. Dinner size and salad size are fantastic because they are a blank canvas. Pretty much anything can be painted on them & they are smooth so I use them quite frequently. They are perfect gifts for weddings, births of a new baby, holiday designs, and retirements - just to name a few.

Here is at least 1 of everything I ordered this go around. As you can see, there are quite a few dog items. This is because I am going to have a display at Woofstock 2009 on May 16, 2009 in Decatur, IL. You can find out more information at http://www.homewardboundpetshelter.com/

I have a sitting dog bank, a square water/food bowl, a canister for treats, and a doghouse picture frame. I also ordered large round water/food bowls but they were the ones that didn't come. I should get them shortly & still have plenty of time to paint one for sale at Woofstock. If you would like something personalized, just email or call me & I would be happy to paint it for you.

This is the 1st delivery (the small delivery). I ended up with 2 shipments of pottery this go around. I needed a few colors of paint, mostly replenishments, but a couple are new colors. The toothbrush holder & soap dish are going to be painted & used in one of my bathrooms. The dogs are drawer pulls & are fabulous. I have 8 different ones in 2 of my rooms (mostly the man & woman design but I have 1 dog). The pulls are so cute and very functional.
