Its been good, Fairhaven

Frank and Cate Howell retired at 5 pm this evening after a very successful retirement sale.  Their Mud in Your Eye Pottery shop has been one of Fairhaven’s best known shops for over a decade.  Selling the business was not feasible because Frank has made most of the pottery.  Their sale over the past few weeks was a complete success - and their shop was literally empty this evening when they closed.  Friends stopped by to celebrate with them.  The place had a festive air.  All of us in Fairhaven wish them the best for their years ahead. 

Notice that For Rent sign in the left side of the photo?  Tim Imus is looking for a new tenant for one of the more successful retail locations in Fairhaven.  That number is 360 319-6989.  We hope that some really unique shop with products that are locally made or crafted will carry on the legacy that Frank and Cate have established.  We will miss being able to walk to the back of the shop and watch Frank at his potter’s wheel as he effortlessly created perfect pieces.  But we look hopefully forward to a new fun shop in this over 100 year old building.
