00:00What your Southern China pattern says about you.
00:04You have to feel the spirits of the women who have handled and hand-washed these plates.
00:09Blue Willa, you were the choir director at your church.
00:13Your husband was a banker.
00:15Your daughter has never really stood out to you but your sons.
00:19You have three Bowies and none of them or their wives want this from you, which is a tragedy.
00:24You bring this out because every moment is special.
00:26A sip and see for a little Bowie or a little Bowie's baby shower.
00:30Or you could even do a Blue Willa Christmas.
00:33Now the pink transferware.
00:34This is for a girl's girl.
00:36This is for a lady who still uses talcum powder and doesn't want to see the sun.
00:41President of her garden club.
00:43This is for a woman who gets her nails done every two to three business days.
00:47This is for a woman who gets her hair done at the salon, set in place, sprayed down like a
00:53helmet once a week.
00:54She does not sweat.
00:56Except emotionally.
00:57She sweats all the small things.
00:59Everything needs to be perfect.
01:01This is a wild card.
01:02This is a woman who spends months at a time scouring estate sales, preying on the dead, trying to find
01:08pieces like this.
01:09She grew up in the South and then she went to Wesleyan.
01:12And then she came back home because her father runs a hardware store and he was getting sick.
01:16So all of a sudden she's ringing up feed at the hardware store, but she's at home writing poetry at
01:22night.
01:23And she has these competing senses of loyalty to family and then loyalty to the arts.
01:28It's a classic oldest daughter conundrum.
01:30And so she does the purple transfer where just as a sort of subtle rebellion against whatever is and a
01:37sort of homage to whatever can be.
