This week I made a new batch of tree pieces and tried out some little earrings (above). I'm quite fond of this tree design and am tempted to discontinue all other glass designs, but ultimately that could end up very poorly.
The Mississippi Street Fair went really well this past weekend; I was surpised at how many booths it consisted of, and only wished I had done more exploring.
My landlord/friend/housemate is out of town and consequently I have been tending to the chickens, among other things. I grew up with dairy cows, but we never kept chickens. Now that I'm growing accustomed to fresh eggs and beautiful chickens pacing around in the backyard, I think I just may always want to have them wherever 'home' is located.
Fortunately the weather has been gorgeous, and a visit from my younger sister has promted a scattering of visits to all of my favorite Portland places. In the past two days we've hit up Voodoo Doughnuts, NW 23rd Ave, Powells Books, Papa Haydn for coffee and desserts, Mother's Bistro, and the Kennedy School. We've made french toast using fresh eggs from the coop, eaten inexpensive sushi outside in the sun, and walked around town until the sweat secretly collected into drips under our clothes. My sister even made a glass ring which she is incredibly eager to fire in the kiln.
It should be a beautiful weekend and I'm excited to see everyone at the market once again. Maybe Judy (the Lavender Lady) and I will ditch our booths and take another tour around the market in one of the Rose Pedal bike wagons, as we did last week.
3 Years ago today I moved to Portland.
Happy Weekend!
