Fabulous Flea!

Nalls Produce is opening it's doors for a Fabulous Flea Market this Friday and Saturday. 

There will be bargains on Nalls merchandise and lots of kitchen and garden goods for sale from local vendors. 

I am so excited for LePennyJ works to be a part of it! 

Working on the inventory now but there will definitely be mugs, platters, vases, garden "stones"  . . .
and other wares perfect for the gardener, cook, coffee drinker, or flower lover in you or someone you love.

Mugs and Fishes

Well, that's almost right given Valentine's Day is coming up. 

I've been on a mug making and mini-fish making kick of late. I guess the mugs came from getting ready for the holiday craft bazaar at Grounded Coffee Shop (yum, yum) last year and realizing I had only ONE mug ready for selling! At a coffee shop.

The fish are something that are a fun distraction while I'm waiting for a piece to be ready to trim, add a handle, or just have some time where I need to put off thinking for a bit. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with all of them . . .

New works in shops at Society Hill Designs (Falls Church location) & Honest Soul Yoga (Alexandria), and Etsy.

Happy Hearts Day! Mugs & Fishes, Jessica

Laughing In The New Year

Here's to a new year!

And some fresh resolve. I'm not very good with resolutions, but I know there is always something that I can do better. And I quite often need some reminder of what I've set out to focus on more in the coming year. This one came from a conversation with my daughter about a month ago. We had seen "The Princess Kaguya" earlier that day and then set off for a long drive which gave plenty of time for reflection.

 

And it's true, you should never {ever} lose your laugh. 

A {Good} HiSsY Fit

I'm so very proud to show my space at Honest Soul Yoga in Alexandria, VA where some new works will be selling.

Pardon me while I burst into a million (or so) shiny pieces . . .

 

. . . okay, back. I was in (before a really fantastic class - they're all fantastic) today to set everything up. Most are from my (new!) BREATHE, LAUGH, LOVE line with a few select other pieces.

Come for a class, leave with a pot! Come for a pot, stay for a class!

A Little Buzz-aar | Holiday Craft Sale @ Grounded Coffee Shop

I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it) . . .One of my favourite local coffee joints hosts a Holiday Craft Bazaar every year - and this year, I'm going to be there with my works! And a full / empty / full coffee cup. They have some pretty fancy bakery treats to enjoy too.  

Come in and say hello!

Artfête Part Deux

After a long day of setting up - the studio and my table, it was time to stop. It was so much fun getting everything cleaned up, covered up, spruced up. As usual, I took forever getting my table figured out - all the while knowing that things will get moved around (and maybe even wrapped up, taken home, gifted, enjoyed) while I'm away. 

I do love seeing the studio as it's getting ready and seeing everyone else's work on display - many pieces I've seen at different stages in the process but it's nice to see them all together. Come out this weekend - and if you can make it to the party tomorrow, there will be music from a great local band, food, drinks and fun! 

Artfête + Holiday Ceramics Sale

This weekend is a fun time to be in Alexandria . . .

The Art League Artfête Open House & Holiday Party is Friday night, with the ceramics sale continuing through the weekend. 

On Friday, there will be live music, food, drink, artwork, and artist demos to kick off the holiday season . . . I will be working in the afternoon on Friday - so that I can stay for a bit of the fun! The Scottish Walk Parade is happening in Old Town on Saturday just a few blocks away - and after there will be cider (and probably cookies!) in the studio to warm you up while you look around.
