Just a quick note that my wife and I finally closed on the purchase of "Fired Up", the paint-your-own pottery studio in Seaside!

It's at 27 Quincy Circle, just behind Sea of Silver jewelry - kind of hidden, but we're learning what an amazingly FUNN place to visit it has become since it first opened 6+ years ago over on Ruskin.

The studio is open every day 10am-5pm, and anything you paint by about 4pm will be glazed and fired that night, ready for pickup by 12:30-1pm next day. You don't have to be artistic - it's all about the FUNN painting something that adds to your memories of 30-A and family!

Thanks to several of you on SoWal.com who have helped us with SoWal connections and business advice during the purchase. To say "thanks" and welcome you in, we even posted a "How Do You Spell FUNN" sign in the giant teacup outside the front door!

Didn't mean to turn this post into shameless self-promotion, but we're just so darn EXCITED that we wanted to tell our SoWal.com friends first! :D

Funn! I bet you guys are going to love rainy days. That place gets packed to the max on rainy days.

FYI - a shameless plug every once in a while is not a bad thing. ;-) Do you guys sell beer, too? I hear that drinking it helps with creativity.

Congratulations, Beach Brimmer! Thanks for letting us know. I didn't know there was such a place in SoWal. Do you have a website or how do we get information if we have rentals and we want to let our guests know. I'm in the middle of revising our list of local activities so if I can get more details (e.g., phone number of the place) I can put it in our activity list.

Congrats again. :clap_1:

Paula is all over it. If I were looking for a house to rent down here, I would highly consider one of Paula's. She tries to hook up her renters giving them everything they need to know to help them fit in, feel welcome in SoWal, as well as helping educate them about potential hazards (eg - rip currents) as well as local environmental issues (eg- fragile dune systems, coastal lakes). I can feel the love when she begins asking for info on things to do, like going to Fired-Up.

Yes, she is. She's always posting some helpful tip or item about how she's looking out for her renters. She'd be my first call if I was looking to rent. :biggrin:

Fired Up! has always been a favorite place for visitors and locals. Here are some plates that were made for the Montessori school auction on Memorial Day. The materials and time were donated for kids to make about 20 plates that were offered along with donated dinners from various restaurants. I got the Sea Bar plate and dinner (not shown).

Gosh... :wub: My mom always said if you're going to do a job, you should do it right. It's amazing how a few words from a parent can last for a long, long time. And I really do enjoy taking care of people on vacation -- they spend a lot of money regardless of how affordable a place is, and it really doesn't take too much to help them have an easy stay (at least for what's in our control). I especially like figuring out what families need on vacation because if kids are happy and entertained, parents can relax. I also think most vacationers want to do the right thing with the environment if they know what to do.

And DestinDreamin, thanks for the kind words, too. We'll be seeing you the end of the month so maybe we'll stop by our place and our beach (stop by SJ -- you know where we are, though we'll be staying next door rather than at the cottage you saw).

Anyway, we cant wait to get to the cottage ourself and we're counting the days until the last week of this month. We sure wish we were there with the SoWallers this week.
