A quick “flashback” to last Sunday when my high school friend Jennifer stopped by with her family at the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. Always good to see longtime friends… and their great kids! And there’s a good chance that Sophia “may have” gone away with a couple freebie mugs gifted to her… for her upcoming college apartment! Perhaps two new shaped mugs… coming soon to an art fair near you…

After such an incredibly hot & sweaty weekend at the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR… I’m kinda surprised that my booth flowers are still looking so fresh?! So I re-cut the ends, gave ‘em some clean water & an oval vase to hang out in… and they’re still looking very happy! And so am I…

You gotta love having talented friends… and art fair booth neighbors this weekend!!! Like Rhonda from “The Buttons Stop Here” who created a very special bracelet for me made of vintage “trade uniform” buttons… all starting with the state prison button which I LOVE!!! Plus the artistry & detail of the other buttons is amazing as well… all over a hundred years old!!!

Stop by the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR today from 11:00am-5:00pm…
come see us both… we’re side-by-side!!!

Huge thanks to everyone who came out today for Day One of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. It was a sunny, hot, cloudy, steamy, breezy, sprinkley & hot asphalty kind of day… not ideal. So extra special thanks to those who “survived” it with us!

And a reminder… tomorrow is Day Two from 11:00am-5:00pm… and the weather forecast is looking better!Just hoping the wildfire smoke cloud doesn’t come back!!! Fingers crossed…

All set- up & re-stocked for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. The weather is already better than yesterday… (I’m not a sweaty mess)… and we already have some “early shoppers.” So c’mon by… we’re here until 5:00pm at the Attea School in Glenview!

Just another reminder… this weekend is the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. And it seems like the wildfire smoke has moved on just in time… so we’re happy to be breathing cleanly again. Just in time for this show. Remember that we’re at a different location this year. Hope you can make it… and bring a friend!!!

After summer camp today, I zoomed home to work in my basement prepping & pricing new pots for this weekend at the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. Lots of mugs waiting to be priced… but honestly, I kinda got distracted & sidetracked by cleaning out the basement a bit. Felt good to clean, organize & get rid of things I haven’t used for years. Pricing can happen tomorrow, right?… because now I’m off to the studio to teach class again tonight!

Mark you calendar for the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR this coming weekend… Saturday, July 18th & Sunday, July 19th from 11:00am-5:00pm. We’re at a new location this year due to construction… just a few blocks northwest of the original place. So we’ll be setting up at Attea School this year… and I’d love to see you there with plenty of pottery for everyone… and bring a friend!!!

Just two weeks away… my next summer art fair! Mark your calendar for the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR on July 18th & 19th. We’ll be at a different location this year… due to construction at the usual location. Just a couple minutes away at Attea School with plenty of pottery for all !!!

Finally got home after a soggy wet & rainy pack-up in Sandwich. Unloaded the car & everything is still wet! So for tonight, my condo basement has become the “drying room.” With all of my shelves standing vertically with air all around them… and my tent sides & canopy spread out so they can dry overnight too. Late night, exhausted & sweaty. Such a glamorous life this art fair thing is, huh?!
