very talented friends to join us in open studios. there will be jewelry, stationary, textiles, paintings and of course lots-o-clay. click on the lower image to see who, what and when, and if you are around on december 11th, be sure to come to our
big holiday party. it’s going to be a fun-filled-fiesta with live music and scrumptious treats to eat
AND to buy.

i love this saying. one belief of this phrase is the association that wood and trees have with good spirits. it used to be considered good luck to tap trees to let the wood spirits within know you were there. and now, we rap our knuckles on a piece of wood to stave off bad luck.
this phrase is usually used when one is already experiencing some good fortune and hope that it will continue.
i have experienced such great fortune in my life and am continually knocking on wood.

i know, i
KNOW . . . i’ts not even
thanksgiving yet, and yes it IS kind of sacrilegious to start pushing
christmas so soon . . . but i think given the state of the economy, we deserve a little head start this year, don’t you? anyway, it’s not just me. the people at
poppytalk handmade put their holiday market up today and i couldn’t resist jumping on their bandwagon.
it is a fabulous place to do your shopping and you don’t’ even have to leave your couch + you get to support independent artists from around the world. i LOVE being able to buy something handmade directly from the person who made it. it’s so old world.

this summer i spent a LOT of time deep in the woods of vermont, and was apparently subliminally seduced by the thick landscape of trees. so many trees. i am obsessed, intrigued, fascinated, and completely in love with trees, tree trunks, tree leaves, tree droppings, etc . . .
i am working on a
line of “wood” inspired items that will be ready soon . . . so stay tuned.

this article was written about me in a japanese newspaper and i have NO idea what it says . . . but i’m hoping they found some nice things to write about. if any of you japanese speaking readers care to translate for me, let me know!

my kitchen and i are going to be in a japanese book featuring 20 bay area artists/shop owners and their kitchens. the editor and
photographer came today for the photo shoot and the book will come out in april ’09. i am really looking forward to this book, as i
love peering into the homes of others. they will also feature my pals
jeanine, diana, and
bradley.
here are a few shots of my humble abode . . . .
. . . and because my kitchen is so sparse (just the way i like it), they asked if i would cook a meal to add colour and fullness to the kitchen. so now i think i can legally add chef AND food stylist to my resume, right?

my porcelain pourer is featured in the november issue of
COUNTRY HOME MAGAZINE. it is always a treat to get free publicity, and country home magazine is such a great publication, especially their thanksgiving issue. for me, thanksgiving is the BEST and the most DELICIOUS holiday of the year, and this issue is full of great looking recipes to try out. i am thankful for thanksgiving
AND i am thankful for country home magazine.
