Mother's Day

Mother's Day is right around the corner.  I will be spending mine at Moorpark for the Studio City/Sherman Oaks Rotary club art show.  If you are looking for something to do for Mother's day weekend come and see me!  My daughter Carly will be helping me on Mother's Day!

Are you looking for a gift  for your mother?  Here are a couple of suggestions. Click on the photos to be taken directly to their page.

Happy Easter and credit cards on Etsy!

Wishing all of you a happy Easter or a happy Sunday.

I have some great news!  A few months back I was notified that direct checkout through Etsy was being made available.  As of today that time is now here.  This means that if you do not want to use paypal or do not have a paypal account you can still shop online!  All major credit cards are accepted including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

I will also be accepting credit cards at my upcoming show in Redondo Beach April 21st and 22nd.  This will not be the case at all shows but you can count on it for April!

Hope to see you soon!

Contemporary Crafts Market and other Shows.

I will be in SAN FRANCISCO for the CONTEMPORARY CRAFTS MARKET this weekend MARCH 10th & 11th at the FORT MASON CENTER FESTIVAL PAVILION. The show is Saturday and Sunday 10 am to 6 pm daily.

You can get FREE ADMISSION tickets here: www.craftsource.org

I am no longer accepting cards of any kind, very sorry. Credit cards are still accepted on Etsy.

I also will NOT be at the San Anselmo  show OR Marin at the Lagoon, so come see me here in S.F.!!! 

OR on my etsy site where new items are added daily!

Hope to see you soon!

New Photos and New Pieces!

I have been struggling with the photos I use on etsy.  All of my most recent listings have photos taken outside using natural light.  Please comment and let me know if you think these new photos are better.  Thanks!

New pieces will be added every day this week so check back daily!

Goodies for Valentine's Day

I made some small ornaments for Valentines Day.  They all vary a little is shape and size.  Each ornament is made of porcelain and was hand built and hand painted.  The prices range from $20-$35.  These are very cute!  I am expecting these to sell very quickly so don't wait!  Order by Friday to ensure delivery by Valentine's Day!

Coming Soon....Etsy Direct Checkout!

I am really excited to tell you that soon etsy will have direct checkout!  What this means is that you will be able to purchase items from my etsy page with your credit or debit card rather than have to use your paypal account.  If you prefer to use paypal you will still be able to use it.  Etsy wide gift cards are also going to be made available.

This is really exciting for me.  Many of my customers have expressed that they are not interested or comfortable opening a paypal account.  Having direct checkout will allow more customers to purchase items online.  Read more about this on etsy.com or at pcmag.com.

I will be sure to notify you when this new payment platform rolls out.

More New Stuff!

I am taking advantage of the warmer weather and working away.
 
I am frantically making new pottery for my Home Show on February 19th. Here are some photos of new pieces that I just finished that are being added to etsy.

NEW STUFF!

In my last post I told you about all the pitchers I was making. So here are some pictures of my new pitchers, lidded jars, spoon jars and other pieces that are now out of the kiln. I hope you like them! All of these are available on my etsy page.

Happy New Year!

2012! I have been frantically making pottery. I don't know why except maybe because the weather is good? It is 70 degrees here in Crestline, but I can't tell. It is still very cold in the dungeon.

I had to re-make a pitcher for a customer because unfortunately the handle broke during the shipping process, so I have been making all kinds of pitchers. Big, tiny, tall, skinny, short, and fat. I'm having fun! I also am making cups and all, as well. Just a busy bee.

I have also spent quite a lot of time raking leaves! With the hurricane winds we had a few weeks ago, seems like my cabin is a leaf magnet. All the oaks are bare and I know where the leaves went. I have filled at least 12 bags and haven't made a dent.

I am also starting to paint the cabin. It has not been painted in what looks like 50 years! But weather, etc. may be the cause. I am starting on the bottom parts that I can reach, and will hire someone for the ladder work. No way am I getting on a two story ladder! I chose a brown color to blend with the surrounding area. Maybe someday I will paint it red....

I am just now deciding which shows to do in the coming year, and will have a list soon. Meanwhile, if you are ever on the mountain here, I have my work at Timberline in the Glen, a store in Cedar Glen and of course on etsy.
