Poppytalk Handmade Housewares

I'm part of the Poppytalk Handmade curated market this month and seem to be in very good company!  If you are interested in sprucing up your home in time for spring head over here!  You can check out my table or recently up-dated Etsy shop too!  I'll be putting in a kiln load of work this coming weekend so bowls will be back in stock too!

Poppytalk Home Sweet Home Market Launch!

If you're a regular over at Poppytalk, you might have noticed my poppy vases highlighted the other day with a lovely little plug regarding my new photos! Well, this week opens the new Poppytalk Handmade Home Sweet Home Market and there really are some great things to check out this time around! I'm especially smitten with Bliss in a Teacup's new clocks, the really sweet poppy pillow by Olive, the garden markers by Just Work, and the great vintage items over at Ladies and Gentlemen, just to name a few! Of course, you might want to swing by my dahlhaus shop to see what's new over there! http://www.poppytalkhandmade.com/gallery7

Here Comes the Sun...

This is a sampling of some of the work I got ready this past week for the Poppytalk Handmade Market's 'Here Comes the Sun' edition! With my garden full of wild flowers and the 'occasional' weed, these vases are coming in handy to cheer up my desk or window sill by the sink. I'm gallery 19, come on by and check things out!

A weekend plus...

One of the real reasons I've been so frantic to get work done the past 2 weeks (besides the obvious solo show at the BC Gallery of Ceramics July 4th...) is because I have been looking forward to heading off to RockRidge Canyon for Dean's annual staff conference for 5 days. It's a beautiful camp in Princeton BC and I usually get to go there twice a year, once in June and once in October for their Women's Camp, where I usually teach an art workshop! It's a great conference with childcare provided in the mornings, and activities all afternoon for us to do as a family. My boys are pretty familiar with going now and they have a line-up of activities they want to do including canoeing, going on a speedboat to watch the wakeboarders, going swimming in the pool, skim-boarding at the lake (pictured above), and hiking up to the Pinnacle (1st photo). I'm looking forward to getting my reciepts from this year in order while the childcare is going on in the mornings, going on the Zip-line and possibly the ropes course again, and having some down time from the past few months of business.
In the meantime, I'll have a few posts ready to go here on my blog, especially since I have new work coming out of the kiln for the Poppytalk Handmade Market's Here Comes the Sun edition! And I think I may have another give-a-way in the works....
