If anyone is in Vermont this weekend...

We will be at the Wilmington Vt Flea Market for a weekend of crafts and fun! Please come by our booth and check out our work. My fiancee will be there with me, she will have beautiful handbags, jewelry and accessories.

I will also have a new product in my shop, I have featured one for about a week now. I am designing and making wooden combs. They have been a big hit so far with family and friends, check it out.

Walnut Comb :: $15

Greenfield Farmers Market, Greenfield MA

We will be at the Greenfield Farmers Market this Saturday, just in time for Mother's Day! This is our first craft fair type setting, we have a ton of work to get done before we are even near to ready! So, that means that the listing of the newest coasters will have to wait until late Sunday... hang in there!

Once Again...

I was on my morning walk, with my dog Calie of course, and the slogan "dip, dollop, spread!" came into my mind. I thought it was fun, and life is too short to be too serious. The spread knife collection only uses scrap material and a local shop where I sell my goods suggested I make these knives. I figured, I have nothing to lose.

Each knife is unique, hand finished and would put the final touch on your crackers and dip!

They are now available in my Esty shop.

The Walk

Almost every morning, if life isn't to hectic, I take my dog for a walk. I walk along a canal on a nice bike path. It's an interesting play of industry and nature - water moves along to a hydro electric plant, power surges through the large stands of cables and mechanisms, inspiration for me comes from the rhythm and sights along the way. My favorite bird song resonates as I walk, my dog smiles and so do I. The redwing black birds fly by, unconcerned as I pull a piece of paper from inside my pocket to jot down new inspiration.

This is how it comes, freely like the morning. It happens and it moves me.

The Industrial Jewelry Series Available now in my Etsy Shop

Etsy Treasury

After waiting for what seemed to be a VERY long time, I was finally able to make my own Etsy Treasury. Of course I made it compliment my items, title is Inspired by Nature, and had a ton of fun making it. Here is a screen shot of my curated show, but please go visit it, leave a comment and enjoy all of the beautiful handmade/vintage items that I love (well, also that my fiance would love, I don't know if I would wear the scarf... or the yellow dress!)
