Bird in the Hand is a gallery/boutique gift shop owned by Ann Benton that has been in business for 15 years. The shop sells handcrafted items from artisans, including pottery from Earthborn Pottery, which is very popular with customers. While overall sales have been challenging recently, the shop still sells 12-60 pieces of Earthborn pottery per month. Having a large selection of Earthborn pottery in stock attracts customers and shows the shop's commitment to high quality products. Working with Tena Payne and Earthborn Pottery has been a supportive partnership for the shop.

As owner of Bird in the Hand, I am grateful to say that this is my fifteenth year in business with almost one third of that time being involved in the ordering and selling of the beautiful and organic pottery by Tena Payneand Earthborn Pottery. I supposemy storecould best be described as a gallery/boutique gift shop. We sell handcrafted works by artisans which are either one-of-a-kind or parts of a limited edition. Our customers havegrown to expect our offering them only the best and mostunusualitems of style, quality and timeless design. Earthborn Pottery is high on the list of sales and popularity with both female and male customers fromaround the country. Although, like the rest of America, our overall sales have been a challenge in these strained economic times, we continue to sell 12 to 60 or more pieces of Earthborn per month. And, although these figures increasedramatically closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas, wedo not consider it a seasonableproductline. We have found that the more we have, the more wesell. Customers aredrawn to our display and westrongly encouragethem to mix glazes and sizes while choosing place settings. By having a large selection in stock, our customers know we are committed to offering a productfrom an established company which can always be expected to producethe highest quality product. Working with Tena and her staff has always been a pleasurable and supportive partnership in being able to offer our customer the best and most unique pieces in the marketplace.
