Overwhelming pottery...in Shelby NC

 La Grange Center is a great venue, with halls, a big convention floor (carpeted) and good lighting.

Which is what makes for a good pottery show!

We were surprised to find so many low priced items...which isn't fair to a market level of prices which supports potters.  My thought was that ornaments must have become a home industry type of production where the $3-$5 items were being displayed almost everywhere, and I won't tell you how low some mugs were priced.

 There were many beautiful pots, and I did look at each and every booth, though not each and every pot of course. Sigh.
