6/5/21 - In the Weeds Pottery Sale - Pull Weeds for Pots

We all have to pull teeth.

For some, it's reading or even seeing these posts.

If these already leave you seething, here's a new idea you're sure to adore:

your time + your labor = the time of your life

How, you ask? It's simple. By pulling weeds around the pottery property; landscaping, if you will, in exchange for those sweet, sweet pots that you need.

Instead of $2-80 each on glazed ceramics or terracotta fantastics, you could get like 20 bucks for free for an hour of bending and pulling.

I'm not pulling your leg. I will put you to work in Sherrelwood, in North Denver, off Highway 36 and the Pecos exit.

Message for the address. Or call on me:

I'm the same boy I used to be:

Call on me, call on me:

I’m available for visitors only four days a week.

Saturday and Sunday I’m open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday and Friday I’m available from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Customers who purchase two or more items receive cash discounts and / or free inclusions.

Customers who also provide their hard labor receive further generosity.

I also sell plants. There's an entire building for them, and inside, in sight, there's insight on how to find yourself in the weeds come watering day, real quick.

That means there's lots, which, like the pots, can also be purchased in lots. Most range from $10 to $45, with a smattering of large cacti or cactus -like plants mixed in for good measure.

Some items I'll never be in the weeds with are Gainey and Hammerly Ceramics. I can't get enough of these. These planters represent my high-end offerings, are very well made, timeless, and far from inexpensive. It's worth noting that these collector items cost less here than anywhere else, especially when you spend an hour pulling weeds beforehand.

You don't have to put in work for me to put some free items in your hand. Feel free to take as much of the following as you see fit:

Broken pottery

Terracotta bits

Terracottas for kids

Preferential treatment for bodyguards

Rescue plants and cuttings while supplies last

Weeds, but not grass

Pallets

Hearsay

Tomfoolery

Conjecture

Pottery jargon

==== Feel free to stop reading ====

pot·ter·y jar·gon

1: the technical terminology or characteristic idiom of special entities, Ian Bramlett and A House of Pots

2: fancy words, obscure and often pretentious garden language, marked by circumlocutions and long sentences to enhance post searchability

3: confused unintelligible language that probably has something to do with pottery

4: why are you still reading this; for the love of all that is decent, stop reading

==== I mean I told you it was jargon, so here’s Cheryl Wood again ====

What, come on Ian, do I have to really do this again? Cheryl Wood here, and I don’t even know what a lot of these things mean. What are pachypodium, maceta, gainey, macetas, xeriscape, euphorbia? I don’t know. I know he’s got a couch, more design than me, probably an iphone, and lots of exterior plant photos I look at on my tablet. There’s a surplus of items in his garden if you’re an outdoor baby who loves landscaping ceramics, potting, plants, and just the outdoors in general. It feels like a holiday when you get free with purchase pots for planting, especially when your husband is out fishing, racing, doing sports ball, or lifting weights or whatever he does, and you don’t have to worry about him saying anything about that big ol’ cactus you just got. Ok, this is hard Ian, I’m running out of ways to talk about trees, the extra container people pick up for their cacti, or leaving their laptop on their table and hiking up to this backyard in Sherrelwood. It’s better than being couch vegetables though, so leave your house, put your tires to the pavement, and treat this place like one big yard sale with decor, tree sized pots, and a deal or two so good that you won’t need to barter. Yeah, he’s got house plants. Yeah, he’s got succulents. Yeah, he’s got green ceramic options a mile high above sea level, so plant yourself here if you value the trade of getting nice nursery things as cheap as a planter is going to found for your deck in the 5280. Some cacti are in flower now, and you don’t have be climbing in nature to see them, or getting a bargain on a succulent, because deals grow on trees around here and there’s never a shortage of water. This is landscape land for the home gardener, whether they dig decorative Italian clay planters, yucca that bare no fruit, or just local gardening outside with pottery, desert flowers, and the perfect pot for a vegetable. Ok Ian that’s all I’m gonna write. I gotta go home now. Thank you for the opportunity.
