Farm Fresh Fair & Market

 

 

Last Wednesday we spent a fun morning touring The Farm at Rabon Creek.  We will be a part of this year's Farm Fresh Fair & Market and wanted to preview the space.  It is just beautiful and beyond our expectations!  The Market will be held Saturday September 21 and we will be in very good company among the other artisans and musicians.  Can't wait!  You can see a sampling of the artists through the Market's Pinterest page and Facebook page.  Both are updated with images and samplings of all the wonderful treasures you are sure to find at the market.  See you there!

The free stall barn will house artists up and down both sides and along the edge.  The pasture to the left will have even more artists.  And the barn and equipment areas (that I didn't photograph) will have vintage and antique treasures.  Don't forget the live music and food!

Pete, Georgia, and Ethyl were as sweet as could be and enjoyed the snacks we fed them.

Hank and his son Salvador.  Mama Lolita kept to the trees and is due with another baby any day now!

New Items

The Etsy shop has been busy over the past month, so it was time to replenish a little. While I wait on some new pieces from Mom, I photographed the remaining pieces I had and they were almost all this beautiful forest green or firebrick red. These two colors are gorgeous in person, but so darn finicky when it comes to photography. I had good natural light yesterday afternoon and snapped quickly and here they are. I think you will love them as much as we do.

Behind the Wheel

One of the perks of visiting Mama is getting to see her in action.  Last week was just such a week and while she took some time off after our last show, she was busy on the wheel again when I saw her.  Here she is carving a cross ornament, letting some new pasta bowls air dry before their first firing, throwing a bowl on the wheel, and trimming the bottom of a brie baker.

Orange Street ArtsFest

This weekend was another great show and a great reminder of how many folks are fervent supporters of the art. We heard so much encouraging feedback and had a great time listening to all the musical acts. So thankful for such a great show in Wilmington!

We brought plenty of rings and ornaments and enjoyed showcasing them in new displays.

And these shelves turned out to be a great addition as well.

Valentine's Day

These hearts ornaments are just in time for Valentine's Day and just delivered to our favorite local shop, Kitchen Arts & Pottery at McBee Station. Go check out all of Chef Liz's lovelies!
