Our Busman's Holiday


I think I’ve mentioned before how tuning in to the all-work channel can make a person dull, so Groom and I took last Friday off to go to the Oregon Country Fair.

The number one question we’re asked: do we sell our jewelry there? The answer is no way, Jose! Not because it isn’t a great venue, it is after all, one of Oregon’s premiere events, the numero uno anticipated event of the year.



We don’t even apply, never have done because if we got in, then we’d have to work! The OCF is so fun, it would be torture to sit in our booth all day long while the crowds, dressed in their costumes, frippery, finery and plumage passed us by.



Nope! It’s the rare time Groom and I get to unshackle ourselves from the responsibility of minding the store and wander aimlessly throughout the dusty paths covering 80+ wooded acres, eating and visiting our way through the event.


And while we had a great time, the clock has struck midnight and this Cinderella couple finds themselves back in the studio, working overtime to prepare for the delightful Salem Arts Fair and Festival coming up this weekend.

Ma Ma Ma My Corona

The heat is on, in terms of summer temps and queries from people wondering why there haven’t been any blog updates lately. Imagine me exhaling a puff of air here, my bangs (if I had them) lifting off my forehead, whilst I sigh. Anybody got some extra time for sale? 


Well, what have we been doing? Gotta think. We participated in the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts during the last weekend of June and experienced a stunning solar corona, halo, or whatever the perfect ring around the sun is called. The show was brilliant and we’re happy to have done it.


 Our 4th of July was spent in the studio making jewelry for the upcoming Salem Arts Fair and Festival and we forgot it was a holiday until the rocket’s red glare and loud explodey noises reminded us at twilight’s first gleaming.
