Use your skull

I had two skull-related special orders to make this week. First, I had a request for a skull and crossbones baby hat for a little girl. I think it came out awfully cute...


Then I had an order for a man-apron for a local artist who was looking to cover up while throwing pottery. He wanted something cool but not girly, so I had him pick out some fabric, and what d'ya know, skulls again!


Rock n roll card playing skulls, no less.

Pretty Pretty

I'm a big fan of CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), and our CSA here--Victory Farms-- is one of the best things about Richmond. We've bought a share every year since we moved here, and it delights me to have fresh local all natural (chemical free!) produce every week from May to November.
Yesterday I went down to my local market to help out with bunching flowers (and got a bag full of vegetables for it-- how awesome is that!? Vegetables for playing with flowers! Well, I also peeled onions, which gave me flashbacks to my days as a prep cook, but mostly I played with flowers....). How gorgeous are these? Black eyed susans, zinnias, snapdragons, irish bells, foxglove, dianthus and more. Pretty!

I'll be at the South of the James market in Richmond's Forest Hill Park this morning from 8am until noon.

So come on down and check it out!
