Once a year we pigrimage to Galveston, TX for the Galveston Dickens on the Strand festival. It’s an extravagant, posh event that we save and plan for all year. This year Marita Beth received a package at the Tremont House Historic Hotel very soon after we’d arrived. She immediately handed the package to me with a “Merry Christmas, Happy Anniversary, Happy Birthday &c.” message. Inside was this fantastic Pope Joan (also known as Michigan, Poch & Newmarket) bowl. I’d seen this item on eBay sometime back and even bid on it, but ultimately couldn’t afford its asking price. I’m not sure what deal Marita Beth struck with the seller, but I now own this bowl and couldn’t be more happy with it. Thank you! Now if I could just find some more (less expensive) that I could sell through East Wind Games.
