Sherwood Saturday Market

Saturday, June 6th marked our third Saturday at the Sherwood Saturday Market. I really enjoy the Sherwood Market, not only because it’s close to home, but I love Old Town Sherwood. It’s very quaint and I would love to spend more time walking around and stopping in at the cute little shops.

Since I started participating in outdoor markets last year my booth has evolved. I finally feel like things are getting close to the way I want them. With the help of my parents, I now have a large bin to display all of my matted prints. It also holds my framed prints and other accessories for my booth, making it easy to transport from the car to our booth location. My mom and dad worked hard to have it ready for my first market on May 2. My dad shipped it from Michigan and we just had to put it together when it arrived.

My mom created two custom table covers. Saturday was my first time using them; they looked beautiful and made my booth look more professional. Here are some snapshots from the last few markets.

First Market – Saturday, May 2nd - Wet & Cold!

Second Market – Saturday, May 9th - Much better outside. Beautiful day!

Third Market – Saturday, June 6th – Wet & Cold again!

From the Studio

I’m back from a month long hiatus. I didn’t intend to take such a long break, but I started working full time again and time just slipped away from me. I’m feeling more settled into my new schedule and want to get back into regular postings.

I’ll start by getting you caught up on what’s been happening in the studio this month. I applied for and had 5 of my photographs accepted into the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery. I’m very excited about this. The New Gallery Members Show will be on Friday, June 19th from 5pm – 8pm. Stop by and check it out if you're in the Portland area. You can visit the Portland Art Museum’s website for more information.

I’ll be at the Sherwood Saturday Market on June 6th from 9am – 1pm and Art in the Plaza at Millennium Plaza Park in Lake Oswego on Sunday August 16th from 10am – 3pm.

And if you’re not in the in the Portland area to check out any of these events in person, pay a visit to the Paper n Stitch online exhibition space. Stop by my shop and the shops of other very talented artists and designers. The new exhibition starts June 1st and runs through July 12th. I just might have a special promotion for Paper n Stitch readers! Click here to visit Paper n Stitch exhibition. Oh yeah, when you visit don't forget to vote by adding a heart!
