[Nfb-krafters-korner] the kiln gods were dancing with glee

[River Woman]

Yes, that would be very pretty. My friend also said they would look 
wonderful on the wall - I will have to think on this - they are much too 
nice to put out into my pottery garden - where all my failed and broken 
pottery goes.  Someone just sent me an email today, she had been to my home 
yesterday while I was away, and saw my pottery garden and just loved it.  :)
