Sonja Moser’s salt and pepper pigs and a beautiful plate by Joan Lord.
Wiggly pig made by Abram Borgman. (I had the high bid on this one. Woo hoo!)
Stefanie Alley‘s lobster pig.
The clever “porktato” pig, though I forget who made it. (Marah? Kirby?)
Hugh Smallwood’s pig bench (note the driftwood tail!):
“Pig of the Night” by Bruce Fernald. (He went whole hog on this one!)
Nancy Chusid‘s illustration makes me want to see a whole alphabet book.
Frank and Sam Reece served “pigs in blankets.”
Our postmaster Joy Sprague made some sweet knitted pigs:
Louise Chaplin’s tiny creation caused a bidding frenzy! Everyone wanted it!
Marian Baker not only organized the show, but also made this handsome vase/utensil holder.
The one I didn’t let get away. Brendan Ravenhill‘s salt shaker pig. (Several bids between my first and my last!)
There were so many wonderful pigs at the show; many more than I’ve posted here. I wish I could report the total of $$ raised for the Islesford Neighborhood House, but it was not yet available. Raffle tickets were sold for Ashley Bryan‘s pig plate. I LOVE his message on the plate. Potter Chris Breedlove won the raffle. It was a fitting bit of luck as she had been so generous in helping Marian with the show and in sewing up a large batch of piggy potholders for sale.
simply wonderful!!!!

Barb, did anyone think to sing “Hog Went A’ Courtin” or any of those other old favorites from Hogs’ Jowls, Arkansas? I bet not.

OMG!! We needed YOU there. No one sang it and there was no hog whiz cheese spread.
No granny or her will. :(

Oh my, those piggies are fantastic! As you know, we have a soft spot for little piggies at our house. If Macy had known about that auction, she would’ve emptied her piggie bank for a plane ticket to Maine, and I would’ve asked her to bid on Bruce’s creation for me! Thanks for the great pics.

I thought of you and Macy all through this show!! Bruce laughed out loud when I read your comment to him. Not everyone appreciates his “art.” Gotta love a lobsterman sculptor!
