I was just writing about how the clay community is sleepy here in my town, but change is in the air. I was on my way home the other day, when a sign caught my attention. It had images of pots on it, then I saw the word clay and supply. I immediately pulled into the parking lot and knocked on the door. The owner's, Michael and Karen Garnes, welcomed me in and showed me around. Not only will they sell clay and glaze supplies, but they are setting up a lovely teaching studio, which is full of light and lovely shades of green and blue. They are just moving back to the mountains from down south and saw the need for more things clay! There are no clay supply companies in West Virginia, and if you are a friend of mine living in a city with clay, I've probably called you up at least once to beg you to bring clay to me on your next visit. My search for clay mules is over. Yes, the only clay supply company in West Virginia will be located at the bottom of my hill. I could literally walk down there, throw a box of clay on top of my head and soldier it on home. I am still experiencing disbelief, but even as I came home from yoga class, the owner's of the new business are in there working hard. The open date is slated for October 15th! Good friend Mary says, "It's a big thumbs up from the universe. Now is your time to shine." Thanks Mary, I will do my best and I do feel buoyed by this event.

Big Thumbs Up From The Universe

Hi, Renee. Thanks so much for your lovely comments about our new business. We love your work and look forward to getting to know you--and your clay friends--better. And, to all you "clay mules" out there: Glad we could help!!! We'll send you our web address as quickly as we're live. We so look forward to visiting your studio. All the best, Karen & Mike Garnes.
Hi Renee-
See- I read your blog from time to time. Hope all is well

Hi Renee,
While pleased that the universe has blessed you with such a treasure, at the foot of your hill, no less, I did so enjoy being your "clay mule".
