Save Windows XP! The clock is ticking

(Another off topic post, but important.....)You'd never confuse a Windows user with the passionate fans of Mac OS X or even the free Linux operating system. Unless it's someone running Windows XP, a version Microsoft wants to retire.

MudPuppy Mold Company - Vintage Styled Molds and Bisque

Been working on it for awhile now, but it's been slow going. We have SOOO much on our plate with StoryBook Ceramics...

So Let me now announce the official opening of MudPuppy Molds and Bisque.

MudPuppy Molds and Bisque

There.

So I'll be adding bisque just as fast as I can, and the molds side will grow enough to keep it from becoming completely stale. If I can get enough going on through the holidays, and can actually make some more masters for the molds, I'll start pushing harder this spring.

Random Visions when thinking of Etsy


Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure: "I meant to do that..."

Animal Farm: "All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others."

Shiny Happy People: REM

The Urban Dictionary Definition: "AssClown"

The Barney Generation
"So let's all have a big group hug and repeat some positive affirmations while we work to "shine up" to our full, individual potentials in this non-hierarchical, empowering environment of mutual respect and..... (puke)

The BBS (Yes, I know I said that before....)
(Normal Person) "Hey, your search algorithm is completely hosed up."
(Groupie) "Shut up, Hater! All the enormous unexpected traffic has overworked the agerithim and a whole floor of engineers are working their tails off to put in a new one. Besides, Jared is so hot!"
(Normal Person) "Um... Yeah...

Amway: Creepy cult mentality where members buy and sell in their clique giving the erroneous impression of legitimate commerce.

Boo.com (Proving history always repeats itself) Wikipedia is your friend

Exalead, the innovative worldwide Web search engine

Here's something fun I ran across...

What? Another search engine?

Well, yes, but it's kinda fun to play with. Create your account, and do some searches to see what I mean...

Noteworthy Mention

It's always neat to be mentioned by one of the collectors, especially when you do reproductions like we do. Traditionally, collectors hate reproductions, usually because they are sold as "vintage" to fool the unwary collector, and their quality is in the dumps.

So it's nice to see a reference to our webstore in an article that is NOT trashing repro artists such as ourselves. See the link "reproduction pottery cookie jars" for a link to us, and the context of the reference in the following article:

Collecting Cookie Jars: Searching For The Cookie Lady

I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Deanna Dahlsad for the mention.
