Flea Market Finds.

I am in California helping my mom
recovery from a hip replacement.
(She is doing amazingly well!)
Last weekend my partner came down
to help out and I took a few moments
to visit the flea market in my home town.

I found some great goodies!
Like these old wooden spools.

And....

A vintage typewriter that types cursive!

I had been somewhat obsessively
looking for these on Etsy.
Only to cry when I saw the
$200-300 price tags.

But I got these guy for under $30!

Don't you love a good flea market find?!

Give Handmade Sale.

Hope you'll join me
next weekend for a great sale!
Lot's of new goodies in store,
or should I say in booth!?
10% off all proceeds are
donated to the Oregon Food Bank!

Crafty Wonderland.

Hope you'll stop in and say Hi.
New prints await you,
as does original scratchboard artwork.
Yippeee!

Unfurl.

Chapman Chimney Swifts.

Here's another new one.

We went on our annual pilgrimage

a few weeks ago to see the

swifts fly into the

chapman school chimney.

How do all those birds learn

to circle, soar, and funnel

into that narrow chimney?

This original scratchboard

will also be on sale at the:

Small Wonders Art Show

Opens November 13th.

Many local Portland Artists,

sharing their small scale art,

for under $100 dollars!

Don't miss it!

New Scratchboards.

I've just finished some

new scratchboards.

Great Horned Owl,

Egret, Hen and Pigeon

will be available

for purchase in an

upcoming show!

I'll keep you posted

on the when and where.

Look for prints for sale

on my etsy site soon!

Happy Weekend!

Autumn is here...and it's been glorious.

It's sunny, clear and blue here in Portland.

Here are some wonders from

a walk taken this weekend.

Off to make a pumpkin pie...
