Celia UK Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't have a 'reply' option, just the heading for the text box 'Reply to this topic', in which I am now typing. I have 'post' and 'More reply options' at the bottom of the box. More reply options bring up the tick box to enable emoticons, but they're nowhere to be seen. Could it be something to do with Ipad?

Pugaboo Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 On my iPad when I hit reply, more reply options and then type to bring up the keyboard the key on the left side of the space bar turns into a smiley face and when I hit it up comes the emoticons selection.... Does this help? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sponge holders do not hold sponge cake or cake or berries it's made for a cleaning sponge folks. It's like mug holds liquids not cake Plates they hold cake Covered dishes hold cake Tea cups also do not hold cake It's a functional item for a specific purpose Yes people put business cards in them and stringy scrubbers but that's a holder use Now cake needs no holder just consume it with berries on top on a Plate with a fork Forks are for eating cake right Just so you know my mother taught home exconomics for 35years so I know how to set a table with silverware right. Sponge holders are for sponges Let's stick a fork in it. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the many more sales if it were a multi purpose item I can see them as Letter holder, taco holders, toast holders, clothes pegfs for thick washing line, napkin/serviette holders ,the list goes on... My mugs make perfect muffin holders Individual baking pots for muffins, now that's a must have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 They work best as cookie cutters You twist as you cut the dough Also great to use as tire lug nut wrench You can also hook a wire between two and make ear warmers which you can also hear thru One works held over the nose to keep the sun off as well The list is endless Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyndham Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I also make mine similar to Mark's with about 3/4 lb clay. The good thing about this form is that if you don't cut out the slot for a sponge, you have a sugar/sweet&low packet holder or toothpick holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 ok I succumb to the american need to display the dish sponge, I guess some of us just do the dishes and get on with it... Notwithstanding, nice pots all round! Is that how notwithstanding is used, always gets me that group of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark C. Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 After listening to my sponge holder customers at last weekends show-the rubber bottom along with the mulitude of glazes and smaller size are the key sales factors. One of my wholesale outlets sells them for 16$ and he has ordered 172 in the past year.So they sell well at many price points.He says teh rubber bottom sets them apart.
