Getting Pickled!













































Do you like to eat? (or do you need a last minute hostess gift?)
Try some of these canned treats by artist JEN SMITH.  
Re-interpreting a tradition of her grandmother's, she expertly blends vernacular spices with seasonal fruits and vegetables, (many from the trees around us) in perfect harmony.  

Here's what's on the menu:

loquat chutney (top off a grilled meat)
bread & butter pickles (put it on a sandwich)
dill spears (no brainer)
pickled cactus (along side a soft cheese)
curried cauliflower (exotic!)
pickled golden beets (don't need a thing)
loquat compote (on some ice cream)
lady marmalade with meyer's lemons (on your toast for breakfast)

Large jars- $10
Small jars- $7

All are $6 / each!!!! 

+ on the way from WAKA WAKA are stackable wood record holders/shelves/boxes.  

Ceramic by CAROL NEVITT






































































Some incredible works by CAROL NEVITT.  
Formally trained as a figurative and abstract sculptor (doing bronze castings from wax, plaster, resin or clay forms), she tried her hand at ceramics some years ago and produced some amazing results.  Here are a few of her functional and non-functional pieces.   

Vessel #1-  $225
Vessel #2-  $205   

Raku ware (a Japanese pottery style used for traditional tea ceremony.  The firing temperature and short glazing process make for the unpredictable and cracked surface treatment.) 

The Circle Jar-  $225 
Unglazed stoneware (Black Mountain clay, to be exact).  Put some cookies in here...the interior is glazed.
