Ten Years Later ...

To fans of handmade craft in the Washington DC area, Appalachian Spring is an institution. They have been in business for over 30 years, a pretty amazing feat. About ten years ago, before I had launched a bona fide pottery studio, I was standing in the Rockville location of Appalachian Spring telling myself "someday my pots will be in this store." Today I went to that same location, and dropped off the pottery that owner Paula Brooks ordered from me at the Buyers Market in February. As I drove away, I said to myself "I can't believe I was right."
