IT IS WHAT IT IS

October 8, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Ok here we are in the middle of an economic melt down, and low and behold the plaque that says IT IS WHAT IT IS has been getting so much attention that I am writing a second blog post about it. We have been selling it at retail shows and the stream of comments are usually fun and sometimes a window into a person’s life. Mostly we find people buying the saying for their bosses but increasingly it is for a family member who needs a little thoughtful sentiment.

My favorite story was a group of work friends who were shopping together. Their boss was away on vacation and they were cleaning his office for him while he was gone. They split the cost of the plaque and planned on hanging it up over his desk before he got back.

They got a lot of fun out of that $14.95 investment!

We have lots of sayings for encouragement and we are making more. Keep in touch and watch the New section!

Put on a little lipstick

August 28, 2008 By Leave a Comment

I spoke with a woman today who ordered 2 “lipstick” plaques for herself and her sister. It was a conversation that represents everything Mountaine Meadows Pottery is about. She had bought a “lipstick” plaque for her mother, because, as she told me, her Mom always felt that as long as she had a fresh application of lipstick she looked fine and was ready to face the world. As a little girl she remembered her Mom feeling ready to take her to school even if she was still in her housecoat, as long as she had “put on a little lipstick”.

When her Mom passed away her Mountaine Meadows plaque was there at her funeral, with a tube of lipstick. Then when she and her sister, both exhausted and worn out from the trials of managing their Mom’s passing, both disappeared into the bathroom and then reappeared with fresh lipstick, they realized that they had become their Mom.

There was a problem though, their Mom’s plaque had been misplaced. We were SO pleased to be able to provide them with 2 new plaques.

This is what Mountaine Meadows Pottery is all about. We make plaques with sayings that help and enhance everyone’s desire to connect to those they love.
