| Email change and spam issues | May 17, 2009 |
|
Dear friends, Thank you for your concern in alerting us that spam messages were sent to you from our email address today. We arrived home from a movie this afternoon to find that someone had used our email address to send a spam message to all of our email contacts, and one recipient of that message sent a reply that was received by all the addresses also. Please disregard both of these messages. We did not send them. For your protection, please do not download anything that may have been attached, or click on any of the links in the messages. We have notified our email provider, Google, of the issue, but we feel that to be secure we must change our email address. Please note our new official email address [SilverPailPottery@hotmail.com], and add it to your list of allowed email addresses. All further contact from us will come through Hotmail. We will no longer send messages from the Gmail account [Silver.Pail@gmail.com], so please disregard any further messages that may arrive in your inbox from this address, or block the address altogether. We know what a nuisance junk mail can be, and because of that we have endeavored not to use it terribly often. We apologize sincerely that despite our best intentions, this has managed to become an issue. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Jill & Robin |

| Bigger and better | April 2008 |
| We've been hard at work
raising the bar on the website. We hope
everyone will appreciate the new layouts, graphics,
and better photographs of work. There are
finally pictures of glaze tiles, so you'll know what
we're talking about when we say "Citron." You'll also
find some work that's new this spring. The crowning glory of these efforts is the new shopping cart feature. Now you can buy at the click of a button, without all the bother of having to call and talk to us (we know you'll miss that). We continue to welcome your comments about how we can make it better. Don't hesitate to tell us something doesn't work for you--it means we get the chance make things even better. Thanks to all those who have helped us in the past. Your input has been greatly appreciated. |
