Several years ago, Peter and I began dreaming about buying a commercial building, living in it and opening a gallery. Well, we bought the building and have opened the gallery. This blog will be about progress, dreams, hopes, failures and starting over in a new community- Gardiner, Maine.

It's Not The Coffee, It's The Cup!
I have always been drawn to handmade pottery- the way it feels in your hand, the mark of the makers hands in the design. Today I met a local potter who I had only talked to on the phone. We ran into each other at a store here on Water Street. This being small town Maine, I concluded this must be the person I had talked to on the phone upon hearing a first name and the word pottery. I was right, fortunately. I told her how much I love handmade pottery and mentioned the many mugs I have and she replied, "It's not the coffee, it's the cup." I couldn't agree more. She invited me out to her studio to look at work for Monkitree. I can't wait!
