It's The Holiday Season...Free Shipping Too!

So...Small Business Saturday is November 30^th and Cyber Monday is December 2^nd …Why do I mention these two dates? I’m have a small business that has a store online, that's why! This holiday season, if you could, please support small business when shopping for gifts. If so inclined,  I would consider it an honor if you took the time to look at my pieces at my online store while shopping. 

To get ready for these upcoming dates, I've added quite a few new items to my store on goodsmiths.com. More bowls, cutting boards and earrings and a couple sculptures as well. Plus, I've added free shipping to all jewelry thru the end of the year! Also watch for a great promotion I will be starting next week that will benefit a great cause too.

Some pics of a few of added pieces are below, but to see it all click here

PS Goodsmiths.com is a great site that is supporting artists, makers and business owners by providing a great site that enables them to have an online store at an affordable price and keeps the mass produced stuff out, period. 

Upcoming Shows

I’ll be busy the next couple of weeks finishing up some last minute pieces for 2 upcoming shows. First, I’m very excited to exhibit at Art On The Prairie on Nov. 9th, 10-5pm and Nov. 10th from 10-4pm . This show takes place in Perry, IA inside some of the historic buildings downtown. My booth will be inside the historic Security Bank Building, 1102 Willis Ave. in the Clarion Room. Alongside my bowls, bottle stoppers, vases, cutting boards and earrings, I will be debuting some new bowls and sculptures at this show so don’t miss out!

Perry is just a short drive from the Des Moines metro and there will be lots to see and do. In addition to the artists and their wares, there will be music, wine tasting, food, poetry and more. Learn more by checking out http://www.artontheprairie.org/

The following weekend my dad and I will have a booth for the third year in a row at the Beaverdale Holiday Boutique on November 16^th from 8am to 3:30pm. It takes place inside the gym and school at Holy Trinity Church, 2926 Beaver Ave. in Des Moines. Along with our typical bowls, vases and other forms, my dad will have tons of ornaments, coffee scoops and more. See more at the show's facebook page
