One of my favorite sales that I made in my vintage Etsy shop was in february 2012. A year or two even before that I had found a very nice, handmade pottery pitcher in the local Goodwill. I thought it was very well made. Symetrical and good proportions. It looked to me like an experienced potter, even with the little I know about pottery. I got it very cheap.
I took what I thought were good pics. Even though I had that embarassing, streaky, purple paint on the wall. Oops. :) (I painted it a little bit later in 2012).
It was getting views and favorites and i was wondering why it didn't sell. Then when it finally sold that day there was a note from the buyer on the receipt,
"This vintage clay pitcher will be used at the church's Baptismal font."
I was touched. That was nice to know something I sold would have such a special use. It was an honor.
It was purchased by a female and the address was a Lutheran church in Florida.
I hope it got some use. And it is nice to think it still may be being used.
Well, I have alot of work to do with my shop. It is already the end of august. Have to get done the projects I want to outside while the weather is still nice. Have to organize inside. Winter will be here before I know it.............
