We’ve been busy catching up with orders coming in for the holiday season as well as preparing for our craft shows. Portland Saturday Market was busy today. Lots of families, friends, and animals enjoying the non-rainy and decently cool weather.
Come enjoy another lovely day in Portland at Pioneer Square tomorrow, Sunday the 29th.
You can visit the official website for Pioneer Square (with a live webcam too).
We’ll be one of the first booths you see when entering in from 6th Ave. See you there!
701 SW 6th Ave. Portland Oregon
11am – 6pm
Last night while making Kitty Egg Candles, Ben had a little accident and splashed beeswax all over his face! It was horrible. Earlier that day he burned himself while making porkchops too. Poor Ben! We have beeswax splatter all over our workroom blinds now. Ben said it looked like a crime scene of a bumble bee stabbing.
Beeswax apparently doesn’t come out of hair so he had to lather up with olive oil to get it out- now his hair is all greasy.. *sigh* All for the sake of these cute little candles…
These are the “originals” for the Kitty Egg Candles (made with crayon wax!). They look like they’re at a party. There’s one kitty egg in the background flat on his face, like he is passed out.
Here’s one of those coupons I mentioned earlier to use. It’s for our Halloween Special… I know it’s past Halloween but better late than never!
For Halloween Ben and I dressed up as a wizard and witch and did the Portland Saturday Market. The day started OK but then it rained a ton. It was a long day for us, although we did get to enjoy a good amount of morning trick-or-treaters who nearly picked us dry for candy (we only had kisses left at the end of the day) and drew some faces for our pumpkin kittyhead.
No costume pictures unfortunately but it was a surprisingly handsome yet thrifty ensemble. Ben and I bought 2 graduation gowns + a witches hat from the Goodwill for $20 total. Ben used 1 gown as his wizard’s robe, and I cut the 2nd robe in half. The top half went to use as a capelet for my witches outfit and the lower half to make ben a wizard cone hat. Some paper star cutouts and a twig later, Ben has a complete outfit. As for me I just tied some ribbon to hold my capelet together and wore some witchy jewelry and viola! 20 minute costumes.
It was fun doing the market in our outfits although as soon as we got home Ben and I had some dinner, and then Mikah and I passed out for the rest of the night! Maybe next year we’ll have more energy.
Till then, we can enjoy our leftover kisses..
