Hello folks!!
A couple months back, I gave a peek into some big things happening in my studio. I shared about the work going on in my studio building and mentioned I am opening a little shop adjoining my studio (here). I have been so very busy the last little while getting my shop ready to open! Well I finally opened 2 weeks ago. Going to share some pics with you of the little shop and studio in finished state!
At the end there is a giveaway!!
Here it is from the outside. On the left is the little shop and on the right is my studio.
The little shop has work from about 10 different artists/makers.
And here is an update on the Studio:
A little cozy seating area by the fire. When the shop is open, so is the studio. People are free to tour the studio and even stay for tea!
This is where all my painting/glazing takes place. I am just crazy in love with the very old salvaged door on the left!!
And here is a spot to run classes! In fact later today 26 kids from our little school are coming down to make clay snowflakes for the residents at the local retirement home! I love to work with the little people and they seem to share my love for clay!
Thank you for stopping by to see what has been happening in my studio! I am off to get ready for the snowflake extravaganza about to go down!!
Before I go, I am offering a giveaway on this porcelain pendant set!
To win just leave a comment on where you like to buy handmade items. A local shop, a market, a show, online? Just leave a comment and I will draw a winner this Friday Nov. 24th.
Happy Monday!! Wishing you all find a little inspiration in everyday!

November 20, 2017 at 10:24 pmI love that you have a studio and now a shop side by side that just makes it extra extra special and what an adorable space for both, I also live how you decorated them. And those food baskets made me hungry, and now I also want jam and toast hahaha…
I buy from many places and artists online. Recently I attended our local Suagr Loaf festival and holy mother of shows… it was amazing!!,

November 21, 2017 at 6:13 amYour studio is lovely.I like to buy handmade items wherever I see something that appeals to me.We have some lovely shops a short distance away in the English Lake District but they tend to charge the very top prices as it is a big tourist area.

November 24, 2017 at 3:39 amwow, the shop looks fantastic! I’d love to come and visit your studio. I buy handmade online sometimes, but mainly at craft fairs or one of the handmade shops we have in my city. I’m trying to buy all handmade for Christmas presents this year as I didn’t have time to make them myself
