Oh Christmas Tree

I have been energized by the recent Buy Fresh Buy Local campaign. It is one of those helpful guidelines for life. I like it better than price and am I worth it. It makes me feel good about selling my pottery too, rather than self consciously saying "who would buy this? I wouldn't , I would make it." While it helps me feel better about selling I do realize that I need some value therapy, it's hard when you are a do-it-yourselfer to imagine what other people are willing to pay. Just yesterday I had a customer add a donation onto his total because he didn't think I was asking enough.
Anyway... we got our tree about 2 miles from our house. It was great to regard the short little tree, satisfied that we had bought from a local buisiness owner who is also a friend. It even eclipsed my distaste for short trees as they tend to suggest, in my mind, ooo, getting older are you? Soon time for no excitement at all at your house? We agreed to put it up on blocks.
