Just arrived in Hinsdale… and it looks like the start of a beautiful day!!! Time to start unloading my car & setting up my booth. I’ve got a couple hours to get everything ready as we open at 10:00am. Be sure to come by Booth 69 to say hello today or tomorrow!!!

This weekend… the Hinsdale Fine Arts Festival in downtown Hinsdale in Burlington Park. I will be filling my booth with lots of handmade pottery… mugs, bowls, vases, flower pots, ikebana vases & so much more! Hoping for good weather & lots of fun people to chat with tomorrow & Sunday. C’mon by…

It’s apparently IRIS SEASON… at least by looking in my garden! I’m totally enamored by all of the different iris colors, textures & aromas that are blooming along my garden this week. The smell of a good iris is totally a childhood flashback. Some people love the scent, some people don’t… I love it!!! Unfortunately, the flowers are short-lived… so enjoy them while you can!

Looks like Julie is enjoying her new green stamped platter & staying healthy too! Sure, mine would have a cheesecake or something on it… but these look good too! HA!!! Thanks for sharing Julie!

Another quiet morning with a few clouds gently wafting through. A nice respite from this week’s “heatwave” with slightly cooler morning temps & a nice breeze along the lakefront.
