You would have loved the Tokoname pot I saw today, it was my second choice, maybe I'll get it for my birthday, I made a special effort to show my wife... heh.
very understated brown pot with a pair of beautiful sublte maple leaves on the side. You want it, trust me.

I think the problem I have with this thread is that, when I want something, I just buy it. heh

When I want something, I have to save up first, so there is a few weeks between when someting gets posted here then transfered to the "Show of your pots" thread.
Brandon, That is very, every nice. The cup is larger than it looked. I hope you enjoy them.

Alex, in line with ripping off your coolest pieces, Toru says he can get me a Kabuse Ushirode from Hokujo as soon as I am ready to send him the rest of my money.

As long as my name gets mentioned once per email, you and I are cool.
Though I imagine he will charge about $40 less than Rishi.

I was like that until I bought a sailboat. Now I have a tea budget, and a sailboat budget. You can't 'just buy stuff you want' with a sailboat, that shit is expensive and the list, it is long. My book budget is that I can only have 20 unread books in the house, but I read about 2-3 a week so that budget isn't anything to sneeze at either especially since I do stuff like buy
$50 reference books from outside my own field to read.

(that book is amazing btw, it's blowing my mind)
must.. make.. more... money...
Theoretically happiness is the art of being content with what you have. hmn....
