Harvest! for Eve's Daughters

Today was supposed to be the last day at Art Court for me, but I had to make a difficult business decision not to show...  As an Oregonian, we are used to rain, but the wind can be the worst enemy for vendors.  I was at Orenco Farmers Market on Sunday last week in 18 mph wind, and I was holding onto the canopy the whole time so it wouldn't fly up!  Today the forecast said 22mph wind...  I am sorry if there were customers expecting me to be there today... 

I have one event in October:
Harvest!  An evening to benefit Eve's Daughters

Friday, October 18, 2013 ● Sunset Presbyterian Church Lobby

 

Shopping: 3 pm-7:30 pm ● Hors d’oeuvres: 5:30-7:30 pm ● Dessert Program: 7:30-9 pm

14986 NW Cornell Road, Portland ● Admission and Parking are FREE

The picture shows mugs I made for a special order.  They are smaller than my usual monster "load up with caffeine" mugs, with round bottoms :-)

Oh, @#%$!! It's September already!

Back to school...  that means running around stores and checking off the school supply lists, waking up early, packing lunches, and settling into the new routine.  The first week of September always goes by at the speed of light.  So I am delayed, but here is my September schedule :-)

Sep. 7th - Art Court by Beaverton Farmers Market, 8am to 1:30pm
Sep. 14th - Art Court
Sep. 15th - Orenco Farmers Market
Sep.21st - Art Court
Sep. 2nd - Orenco Farmers Market

August Schedule ・ ８月の予定

It is always fun when my kids have "claydates" with their friends :-)  This time, they made their masterpiece out of a slab of clay.  The second pic shows my new tumbler/ stem-less wine cup.  I want to tell the world that cups don't need handles!!  I use these tumblers for both hot and cold drinks.  They store better without handles sticking out :-)

Here is my August schedule:
August 3rd, Saturday - Art Court (right next to Beaverton Farmers Market ) from 8am to 1:30pm
August 10th, Saturday - Art Court
August 17th, Saturday - Art Court
August 25th, Sunday - Orenco Farmers Market ( at New Seasons parking lot) from 10am to 2pm
August 31st, Saturday - Art Court

子供たちがお友達と粘土大会をするのがなかなか楽しいです♪　今回は薄く延ばした粘土の板を使って作品を作ってみました。２枚目の写真は新作のタンブラー（または足のないワイングラス？）です。　日本で広く使われるような湯のみに親しみがないアメリカの人たちに、”カップには取っ手はいらないじゃん！”　と声を大にして言いたい！　私は取っ手なしのこういうカップを熱い物・冷たいものを飲む際に使います。取っ手がないほうが収納もすっきりできますよね。

上記は８月の予定です。

Picture shows the "volcano" mugs :-)  They have been particularly popular among male customers.  I have made an 8-inch tall one for a special order!  That is a serious cup of coffee!

以上が７月の予定です。写真は男性のお客様に人気の”火山”マグ。。。　特別注文で約２０ｃｍの高さの火山マグも作りました。　あのマグでコーヒーを飲んだら、気合が入ること間違いなし。。。

The picture shows Aegean Blue-Green tumblers with my signature hand-carved design.  These are special order items for a customer, who had purchased a set of bowls in the same color last year. It is so nice to see returning customers from the previous year :-)

６月のスケジュールは以上のとおりです。　写真は淡い水色・緑の地に手彫りのデザインを入れたタンブラーです。去年、これと同じ色のボウルのセットをご注文いただいたお客様からの特別注文です。　シーズンの初めに去年までのお客様が再度いらしてくださるのはとっても嬉しいです♪

The picture shows my best selling yarn bowl on my Etsy store.  Since I started selling on Etsy, I have shipped my pottery to California, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Maine, Arizona, Alaska, Rhode Island, and Michigan.  It tickles me to think that my bowls have crossed the Oregon border.  It has been so wonderful to hear the feedback from customers.  Thank you!  

写真はEtsyオンラインショップで一番売れている毛糸玉ボウルです。　Etsyでの販売を始めてからこれまでにいろいろな州のお客様へ品物を送らせていただきました。　カリフォルニア・コネチカット・フロリダ・テキサス・ジョージア・イリノイ・ウィスコンシン・アイオア・メイン・アリゾナ・アラスカ・ロードアイランド・そしてミシガン。　私の器たちがオレゴンを越えて旅立ったのだな～と思うと、嬉しくなってしまいます。　お客さまからの暖かい声を聞かせていただけるのも、とっても嬉しいです。　ありがとう！
