We just discovered something cool - did you know that Etsy has a gift registry tool? So if you're getting married, or planning a baby-shower, or even a housewarming, you can make a fabulous wish list of lovely handmade stuff. You'll get beautiful handmade things, and small businesses will get...business! Awesome! It's a bit of a bear to work with, but this article can help walk you through the process. Happy planning your big event! :) CRB&S

Looking forward to seeing you all out at the markets! Be well, Benjamin Headed to the Sioux Falls Sidewalk Art Festival this weekend. Logistics are tough for the artists, but I imagine that it's a lovely show. (Fingers crossed). Grateful to have been named a best artist for the past 3 shows - nice surprise after eight+ years on the circuit! Hoping that everyone enjoys the lovely fall's weekend. Defeat of Jesse James Day in hometown Northfield. Get excited! Be well, Benjamin   I am eager to be a part of www.siouxcityartcenter.org/artsplashArt Splash this weekend in Sioux City, SD! I plan on bringing lots of bowls and spoons.
I am continually amazing by how bountiful our summers in Minnesota are. I've been very fortunate to have some tree companies that have brought me some beautiful fallen trees - which I'm doing my best to turn. I've discovered a new technique to use the excess parts of the tree for my utensil making, which has been a brilliant development. My garden continues to bloom with enthusiasm. My pumpkins are threatening to take over the entire yard, no small feat. Tomatoes are starting to come on. And, blueberries have been a frequent treat. Looking forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming shows! Be well, Benjamin
I don't know about you all, but my summer is flying by! And, here we are approaching mid-August. I've been doing a fair bit of traveling this summer, with shows in Des Moines, Madison, but also spending time near home in Northfield and up in Minneapolis.
I'll be at Riverwalk again on Saturday, followed by Duluth and then Austin. Looking forward to seeing many friends at the shows. Be well, Benjamin What better place to be than lakeside in Excelsior? That's where I'll be this weekend. Art on the Lake is this weekend. A good strategy will be to come early in the day on Saturday or Sunday. It's truly a great scene, with fun food and people too. Wanted to let everyone know that I'm closing up my Etsy store for the summer show season. If you want to purchase anything, please come to a show (or call me directly).  Hard to believe, but the summer show schedule is upon us. This weekend, I'll be at the Edina Art Fair - which is a wonderful way to start the season. I'll be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Long days, but looks like the weather will be comfortable (and hopefully the storms will stay at bay). The attached picture is a custom salad bowl, serving bowls, and servers that are headed for Japan. Very pleased with how it turned out. If you're keen on doing something similar, please let me know. This is doable and makes a very elegant statement. Hope to see many of you in Edina. Be well, Benjamin  |
