Hello and good morning from New Jersey! We flew into Philly late yesterday afternoon.

Another friendly reminder that the shop is CLOSED again today, as we fly back home to Michigan early this afternoon. But for those registered for tonights *SOLD OUT* Boos, Buds & Brushes Paint With Jungle Gems (21+) event, we will be back before then and see you there!.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support, we'll be open tomorrow 9a-2p before we close early for family Halloween festivities. But come in tomorrow and enjoy 20% off all specifically marked Halloween/Fall items (for painting in-shop or to-go!). This sale will run through this weekend only, since we offer all seasons/holidays year round!

We now have Gare's Glass Green glaze back in stock! This glaze gives you that rich, classic evergreen color just like on your family's heirloom tree and makes all your pottery details really pop. This color is not at the glaze bar since it's not part of our regular line of 108 colors, but if you want to use this color, just ask us at the desk! But if we see that you're grabbing a tree, we'll try to proactively offer this color!

I do still have a bunch of trees in stock but I also ordered some more trees today that should be here before next weekend!

It was a small order this round because I was mostly focused on getting geese before the distributor sold out (and the distributor IS now sold out!!), but I think I still got some quality pieces in.

I had to put a glaze order in this AM and tacked on some more pieces to that order as well that should be here before next weekend.

As always, pottery is available to go...whether you want to take it with you with glazes and finish at home and bring back once completed, or if you're just worried an item you're wanting is going to sell out before you get the chance to come back and glaze it...Just buy it, bring it home and then bring back at a later date that works for you to complete it in-store!

The geese....have arrived! 🪿

The newest round of pieces ready for pickup! (The ready by date is 10/29 but everything is done a day early because we are unexpectedly going to be closed tomorrow AND Friday).

I'll be here until 6, so feel free to pick up today before then, otherwise your next opportunity wont be until Saturday (we will be closing at 2pm for Halloween).

Next week we'll be back to normal hours, fingers crossed.

Again, thank you for your understanding and support.

Everyone's pieces turned out SO good!!!

I know I am unexpectedly closed this Thursday and Friday, and Thursday is a pickup day for a lot of people, so I came to the shop early this morning to unload, dip and reload the kiln so that everyone with a 10/29 pickup date will be able to pick up their pieces a day early (tomorrow).

I'll *try* to take individual photos tomorrow to post, since I know its been a few weeks since I've posted completed photos!

One week left !

**CONTEST TIME!!**

Alright, here's the follow-up to last nights hint photo. After work, I went outside to hang out with my animals like I do just about every night. And we have this HUGE oak tree that I absolutely love. Well, I grabbed a bucket and just started collecting acorns with the kids and then I remembered that when we lived in New Jersey, we would do the same thing to collect and donate to our local wildlife rehab. And then the idea of an interactive contest came to mind.

An excuse to get outside, quite literally go touch grass. Spending time in nature is linked to both cognitive benefits and improvements in mood, mental health and emotional well-being.

Plus, it's an excuse to do something fun and outside the box with your kids, your partner, your dog or even just yourself, get the chance to win a shop gift card, and know that you are helping wildlife with your efforts!

Donations are welcome anytime (even if you want to leave on the door mat outside of business hours in a bag), however in order to get credit for your donation, you'll have to come in during normal shop hours so I can get your name and contact # in case you win (and so I can also keep track of additional donations you bring between now and October 31. Only clean, dry acorns will be accepted, please be sure to remove any sticks, leaves, empty caps, etc. before drop-off.

In addition to a $25 and $50 gift card prize, $1 for every pound collected will be donated (in addition all of the acorns we collect!). So if 50lbs is collected, I'll donate $50 to a selected wildlife rehab. If 200lbs is collected, $200 will be donated. Its for a great cause, and I absolutely love the misunderstood critters we share this world withso there is no donation cap.

So let's work together, do something different, fun and help the critters ✌️❤️🐿

(Based on the total acorn donations will determine how many rehabs I can help based on their current needs)

**WE WILL BE CLOSING AT 2PM ON OCTOBER 31 FOR HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES, SO BE MINDFUL OF YOUR LAST MINUTE DROP-OFFS**
