We've Moved February 6, 2012

The year 2011 was quiet for us. We did do some markets, but we didn't announce them, as we weren't sure if we would be able to attend for sure. The reason is that we spent most of our time in the spring and summer looking for a new house, and selling our old one.

We wanted to finally pursue our dream and buy a small farm. We now have a small acreage where we're raising chickens, goats and bees (so far). When we first arrived we planted 100 heads of garlic which we plan to sell. One of our beehives died in the cold, but the other is going strong, and on warm days they're even foraging for pollen.

We will still be making soap, and pottery, but as yet we're unsure where. You may see us at the Haney farmers market.

Last Markets of 2010 October 3, 2010

Next weekend will be our last markets of the year. We will be in Burnaby on Saturday, and Ambleside on Sunday.

Here are some of the products that we'll be selling. I spent the afternoon glazing some pots, here they are before firing - actually, they still need more glazing which I'll do tomorrow. And, also, some of our soaps curing on our wall-o-soap.

First Lonsdale Market July 8, 2010

This Saturday will be our first appearance at the Lonsdale market since October 2008. We took last year off and concentrated on the Burnaby market each Saturday. To mark the occasion, Michelle made a patterned soap which she's never made before. As with all our bars, these will sell for $4 a bar.

From 10am until 3pm you'll find us on the concourse outside the Lonsdale Quay, see you there.

First Markets 2010 June 23, 2010

We have finally had our first markets of 2010. This year we have decided to return to Ambleside. Last year we only did Burnaby, this year we will be alternating Burnaby and Lonsdale on Saturdays, and Sundays in Ambleside. You can find our schedule here.

Here's a nice picture of a small porcelain bowl on display.
