Finding Joy and other updates

Few things happening:

1 - Started displaying my work at a local store called Finding Joy, take a gander findingjoyboutique.com.

There is one in Excelsior and a couple of weeks ago a second location in Chanhassen had it's grand opening, my work was included in the event. I gave them some bowls, tumblers, shadow lanterns, necklaces, magnets, cork pots, ummmm I think that's it. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take pictures because I had to run everything over as soon as it all came out of the kiln.

I am working on Christmas ornaments and wine aerators for the next batch of stuff I give to them and Tangled up in Hue. Very excited about both.

2 - Put some new stuff up on etsy a few weeks ago. Check it: www.etsy.com/shop/missyjayne. The 15% off coupon code (skuttlebutt) is good through December so don't forget to take advantage! I've made a couple of sales since I got it up and running and it is the best feeling EVER! I am working my ass off to get more stuff on there in the next couple of weeks in time for Christmas shopping, here are a few of the things I've added recently, some of which have already sold =)

magnets

 Also made a cheese and cracker tray for Lauren and Eric's housewarming. I have another one on my wheel right now, will be making a bunch of these.

 I'm loving the wax resist on my wheel thrown stuff. Recently bought some screen printing and sgraffito equipment so those are the next two techniques I will be exploring.


3 - Third and final update, fostering a new dog named Lily.

She was 10 weeks old on the 10th and is a lab/german shepard mix. After this we won't be fostering again until the spring. (I really really need a break). She is so sweet, whoever adopts her will fall in love. http://secondhandhounds.org/2011/10/lillian-10-weeks-german-shepherdlabrador-retriever/

Received an application for her yesterday so just waiting to set up a visit. I imagine whoever meets her will adopt her because she is just awesome.

That's it for now!
