The relationships we develop at the Coffee Pot and Mountain Arts Pottery continue to be the best part of our business. It is amazing the friendships that form between us and our customers when we see each other only three or four times a year. Some of our closest friends live in Bozeman half of the year and Washington half the year. One couple started out as a customer and we ended up hiring her at our Kiosk for the Christmas season. Their departure back to Washington was delayed because he broke his leg falling off the sidewalk at our Store! That's one way to increase your friendship base!
David and I look forward to each season when we know that people will be traveling to Montana on vacation. This week we have a family wedding and out of town guests, so we are taking a week off. We are happy to take time off because it’s been a busy season, but we are somewhat reluctant to not be at the Store because we are likely to miss some of friends who only come in during the summer.
In the past year we know of 9 customers/friends who have made the choice to move away from our community, and one friend who died in an accident. We are so thankful that we were informed of their departure, but always wonder if there are others who have elected to leave, have come in to let us know, but we missed them for one reason or another. Please make sure that you ask for us if you come into the Store. We are never too busy to speak to old friends. Or new ones, either!
