Market schedule for the rest of August

It has been a very strange year for everyone, but it seems like things are "trying" to go back to normal.  I am now back at Orenco Farmers Market on some Sundays :-)  So glad to be back to the market that I always enjoyed.  Following is my schedule for the rest of August:

Saturday, August 15th - Hillsboro Downtown Farmers Market, 155 N 1st Ave, Hillsboro ( 9am -1pm)

Sunday, August 16th - Orenco Farmers Market, at New Seasons Parking lot, (10am - 2pm)

Saturday, August 22nd - Hillsboro Downtown Farmes Market

Sunday, August 23rd - Orenco Farmers Market

Saturday, August 29th - Hillsboro Downtown Farmers Market

There are so much yummy looking Oregon berries at the market, and my berry bowls have been pretty popular :-)

Market Season starts... Finally!

Finally, I am starting to show at the local markets!  Very happy to be out and see my vendor friends and wonderful customers!  Here is my June schedule:

June 6, 13, and 20th - Hillsboro Downtown Farmers Market ( 9am to 1pm)

155 N 1st Ave, Hillsboro, OR, at a parking lot near Public Service Building

To minimize in-person cash exchange and credit card transaction, you can pre-order/pre-pay using an app, WhatsGood.  You can sign up at: http://sourcewhatsgood.com.  You can see awesome products from other vendors, too.  

If using this app is not your thing, you can still shop like usual.  I have hand sanitizer and/or disposable gloves at my booth, if you like.  

It is a challenging time for everyone, and safety is the number one priority.  Our market manager has been working hard to create safe environment for everyone.  There is more space between each booth, and vendors wear face masks.  I won't be able to shake hands but I would be smiling under my face mask :-)  Hope to see you there!

Staying home for now... Preparing for 2020 Market season

Just like many of us, I have been staying home this spring.  Both markets I participate ( Beaverton Art Court and Orenco Farmers Market) only have vendors who sell essential items at this point.  They are hoping to welcome art and craft vendors soon.  Meanwhile, I am building up my inventory :-)  Hopefully, I can see my market friends later this summer.
If you are looking for gift for someone, and would like to see my pottery, some pieces are available on my online Etsy shop:  www.etsy.com/shop/tohkiyapottery.
Or, email me at mami_yamada@hotmail.com, if you like to purchase pieces at my studio.
Looking forward to being at markets soon!  Please be safe out there!
