Selling The Green Bean! August 26, 2014

I planned on keeping my Ford Escort for a long time to come. I like it so much, I was even going to have it painted next year. But my friend was selling his Rav and I couldn’t pass it up. I can load it up for some of my art shows and not have to rent a van.

So, for sale: one Green Bean…

1999 Ford Escort
165,583 miles
Manual transmission
Very good condition
$1400

One owner (me:)
I have taken very good care of the Green Bean. I have a great mechanic and it has always received top quality maintenance.
Just had it tuned up and it gets 34 mpg on the highway.
Everything works! It really is a great little car.
Keeping it at my studio and will put it on Craig’s List soon.

Before And After August 23, 2014

When I first started making pots at Red Star in the year 2000, I made the bowl on the left. It was the best bowl I was able to make at the time. The other bowl was made recently. I’ve learned a lot!
The bowl on the left will be on the $5 table tomorrow during our sale. The bowl on the right…will not.
Stop and see us at Rafter E!
