Another season is approaching and there are lots of changing leaves.
On PBS I've been watching a special about the history of tea in China called
Leaves of Change. I'm learning all about tea growing, harvesting, and the culture and ceremony of drinking tea.
This summer has been the driest since we've moved here. Every day I hope for even just a bit of rain. Many of the forest leaves are changing color early, conserving what little energy they have left.
I've sold almost all of my leaf dishes at the farmer's market. The leaf dishes are some of my best sellers. I'm also working on several commissions for the holiday season. More about those later. Gary has been working on garage and solarium projects. More about those soon. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
I am so glad to hear that you have sold most of your leaf dishes AND have commissions to work one. Wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, now I have to make more leaves and quickly. Ha.
DeleteIt's been very dry here, too.
ReplyDeleteYour first and last pictures are quite alike.
Hi Joanne, thanks, I can't believe my luck, last night we got 1/2 in of rain, yippee, the trees and plants are singing and me too.
DeleteIt's little wonder you've sold your leaf dishes...they're great. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, thanks, they are a versatile item and fairly easy to make, but winter I run out of leaves and so far have resisted making a mold
