good long while

right around the corner

Well, I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me. I'm hoping to work, work, work up until the Sunday Best Sale in Portland, OR on November 28th and 29th. I can't believe how soon it's coming up!

Here is the mailer for the sale. If you click on the image you'll be able to read all of the text. Also, there is a lot more info on the blog if you're curious - including a bunch of vendor profiles (which is personally my favorite part to read).

There is a really great group of artist participating this year. To be honest I'm just as excited to shop as I am to sell. I plan to make a big dent in my holiday gift list.

I hope you'll drop by if you're in Portland that weekend.

looking to the days ahead...

I think that I might be the last to admit that summer is over and fall is here (ahh, it's still hard to write that!). It's been cold and rainy the last few days and we've been using our new wood stove. I guess I can't ignore the evidence any longer. So long summer, looking forward to seeing you again next year.

One thing that I'm quite excited about with the onset of autumn is that my very favorite holiday sale in Portland, OR is right around the corner. I've been participating in the Sunday Best Holiday Sale since day one. This sale is actually what motivated me to start screen printing on linen four years ago. I wanted to hang out with some of Portland's best crafters and artists so I came up with my printing plan.

The blog is just starting up again for this year. Lots of info is already there, along with photos and profiles from last year. And I'm certain a lot more info will be posted in the coming weeks.

I wish I could have made it to the opening of Jill Bliss' new show Prolific at Life + Limb last week. I really love this series of succulent illustrations. The show will run May-June. Maybe I'll figure out a way to sneak up to Portland before it comes down.
