Market Day Is Near

The day is finally near! This Saturday, the 18th, Market Day takes place inside the Kirkwood Hotel and Gramercy Tap from 8am-1pm. My booth will be along the north wall inside of Gramercy between Marrisa Kephart of The Moon and Honey and Sara Briddell of The Sara Initiative . I look forward to meeting and learning from all of the other vendors, but I hope to be so busy at my booth that I'll have to do that as we break down after the show!

What To Do With The Small Bits Of Wood...

Every woodworker struggles with saving or throwing out scraps of wood. Some say if it hasn't been used in a few months it's gone. Others (like me) hold on to even the smallest piece of wood if it has amazing character to it. I have boxes and boxes of bits of wood that are the size of a golf ball or even smaller. A few years ago I made some necklaces from some of it, but the boxes of bits continued to grow. I'm participating in Market Day next month on the 18th and I needed some smaller, lower priced items to go along with my bowls, vases, bottle stoppers, etc. What I came up with were earrings, necklaces, key chains, tops, buttons, fridge magnets and a few other items.

Below are a few pictures of some of them. Stop by my booth at Market Day inside of Gramcery Tap at 400 Walnut St. before or after you enjoy the Downtown Farmers Market on May 18th from 8am-1pm and you can see them for yourself!
