My apologies to my spaces friends for not communicating much lately. I am on my summer festival season work schedule, and just haven't had as much time to play on my computer lately!!  Thanks for your visits and recent comments.  

As a professional working artist/ craftsperson, this is my busy season. I work at my home studio, then travel to distant places to sell my work. I sell regularly at the largest open-air craft Market in the USA, called the Portland Saturday Market, as well as festivals in cities in Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California. I have a handful of out-of-town shows left this year, and the rest of the time I will be in Portland, Oregon every Saturday, at the Market.

The Portland Saturday Market is open every weekend (Sundays, too..) March through December and is a tourist destination for many Portland visitors. We have had many international visitors this year, due to the fallen value of the American dollar, and they are spending happily!  It's been alot of fun to meet people from all over the world. The best part about the Market, though, is connecting each weekend with my many other talented artist friends. This Market is an eclectic mix of craft and fine art, and there is something there for everyone!!   XX  OO
