The Scent of Hygge

A cinnamon stick and a few cloves in water on a potpourri burner. Simmer all day. Usually I don’t start doing that until December, but this year winter hit so early, there was nothing else for it: the scent of hygge to banish November gloom.

Fun was had at the Sandhill Winery Artisan Spring Market. Thank you to everyone who came out to see me and to buy stuff. The ladybugs were a hit! And I sold some books too, which was great. What it says in the picture! Sandhill Winery on Richter Street (towards Knox Mountain), Artisan Spring Market, next weekend Sat & Sun. Come out and see all the cool stuff! I treated myself to @thesneakyartist Nishant Jain's book on making (sneaky) art. Picked it up around noon from @opusartsupplies, and had read it cover to cover a few hours later! I don't usually "read" art books (mostly look at them for inspiration), but this one is eminently readable. So encouraging and inspiring! Highly recommend! So I am - taa-daah! - letting out my inner Granny G'nome at the 4 Wands Faerie & Fantasy Fair in Sidney, BC, this weekend. Guess where we're going? I even got the T-shirt - ahead of time at a Value Village in Surrey (score!). It's a new book! Available today! New post on the blog: "Clay Palooza and Imposter Syndrome". On how being asked to be on the discussion panel at #Claypalooza triggered a big case of Imposter Syndrome, and what came of it. #Claypalooza at Vernon Community Arts Centre @vernonarts was awesome! My mug on a mug won second place (by half a point) in the "Handbuild a Mug in 15 Minutes" challenge, and our team, "The Others", won first place (also by half a point) in the "Team-build a Trophy" contest. I got to be on a discussion panel with master potter Bob Kingsmill, which was a huge honour. So much fun, so many good vibes. Pottery People are the best. Happy Day-to-Enjoy-People-You-Love! ♥️
