Pottery Blogging, or "Plogging"

Back in the winter I griped at length about the inept shipping practices of pottery sellers on ebay, and then I had another bad experience and griped some more with the griping. Then I announced that I was done. I believe my words were, "Done. Crocodile Dun-dee."

Well, I wasn't all that done.

That's my new yellow friend there in the middle. The pictures don't do it justice, because pictures of my dining room taken at night always wind up looking like clown ass. But it's a very pretty yellow with a celadon underside.

And, it was very nicely packed and it arrived unbroken. The only slight problemette is that it has a small chip that wasn't disclosed in the auction. Very small, and I don't even care because get this:

I won the auction for one cent. A PENNY. So I paid the shipping, which was ten bucks. Still a total score. And doesn't it look nice with its two friends!

Why did this auction end at one cent? (I didn't even know they could start that low--I think I thought I was bidding a dollar.) Seller dude had it listed as a "Red Wing Veggie Tray." Um, no. So the words "console bowl" didn't appear in the auction anywhere, which may have had something to do with the lack of bids.

Now I need to be done. But there are so many nice things in the world that need a good home, how am I to deny them? I thought I better show y'all, because I am still trying to get a good grade in show-and-tell.
