And they provide snacks, like nuts, fruit, or toast or biscuits for breakfast (which used to use a paper towel). Since I'm reducing my carbon footprint by less paper goods being tossed out, I seldom use paper towels, napkins, or plates. I have plenty of cloth napkins, pottery plates of every possible size, and these little goodies do the trick for little one serving dishes.
I do have bowls that the cat uses for food and drink. She makes a mess if I serve her on a plate...it goes right over the edges.
As I was responding to another potter-blogger, what do you use frequently in your home? And as she also was trying to avoid thinking about how cold it is to make pottery these days, I am also using this as an excuse to avoid that as well. I worked on trimming 3 vases today, which meant it was at least with dry hands...but that was my extent of clay work. Brrr!
Today's quote:
It began in mystery and
it will end in mystery, but what a rare and beautiful country lies in
between.
