Summer Craft Shows

Craft Shows have kept me quite busy this summer; yesterday marked my 20th show since

the middle of May!  

Here's some of the lovely artisan merchandise other vendors have been selling.  

These headbands have been made by Abby, with whom I had a very 

friendly chat at the Beaverton Art Court on Saturday!  

And here is some of Kate's teas; Kate spends much of her time selling 

fresh herbs at Farmer's Markets in McMinville and Lake Oswego, and sells the tea

as a side hobby!  

Here's some lovely pottery from the Summer Art on Main, Wednesdays

at the Portland Center for Performing Arts.  Loved this display!  

And Paul Gerald made quite a showing with his awesome display of 

two books he's written; Breakfast in Bridgetown, a self-published book reviewing Portland's Breakfast Scene, and

60 hikes within 60 miles of Portland.  Plus he's selling books by other local writers.  

And here is your's truely, the little display that I put together last night 

at the Alberta Art Walk.  

Here's my neighbor, Ilona who makes beadwork, and on the other side of me, 

"Shh...It's a Pipe", these are actually bracelet that double as pipes.  omg.  

Donya Purse

Here is a new purse that I have been working on.

The inspiration came from some purses that I saw at the Hillsboro

Tuesday Market.  

It is named after my friend Donya, who also sold at this market.  

This Donya has two outside pink pockets

and also two outside larger pockets.  

The interior of the Donya has two pockets and a pen holder.  It is one of a kind

and handmade from repurposed jeans, sheets and shirts.  It is $39 and you can buy one here

Esther N&I Little Girl Purse

This is a modified version of the old Esther purse.

As with many of my products, I am adding some ruffles to the base

And the side of the purse.  This Esther is machine washable and one of a kind.

It has been handmade from recycled materials.  You can purchase one here.  

N & I Betsy

This Betsy purse is a little purse that I have 

been working on; have noticed from craft fairs 

that oftentimes people are shopping for 

little girls.  And so this purse has been designed 

with a little girl in mind.  It is one of a kind and 

has been handmade from recycled materials.  Buy one here for only $13!  

N & I Lizzy

Here is a new product that I have been making

and selling at the Beaverton Art Court

and other shows throughout the Portland area.

This little pouch is one of a kind 

and has been handmade from recycled materials.  

You can buy one here for only $8.50!
