I keep forgetting to write this entry.
On Tuesday, after a rather bad day at work, Lut came to pick me up. Next to him on the passenger's seat, was a cardboard box from the mail. At first, I had a horrible sinking sensation about this box. I had just mailed a package to someone (the woman I bought a dress from at ConQuesT), and for one bad moment, I thought it had somehow wended its way back to me already.
Then I looked at the return address. No: it was a new box. For me?
I opened the box, to discover not one, not two, but three pieces of genuine hand-crafted
bard_bloom pottery! Woo-hoo! I think I love the little dragon bestest. Yay! Thank you,
beetiger! Thank you,
bard_bloom! It was a lovely surprise and cheered me up immensely after a hard day. Whee!
PS: Is the bowl food/water-safe?

But just in case, I only put that glaze on dragons, and the outsides of things in general.

Glad they found a good home!
