Our Trip to Homer

We are now home from our mini-vacation to Homer. We all had a grand time taking long walks on the beach, eating at some fun restaurants and enjoying a beer at the Salty Dawg Saloon. We spent a day taking a boat ride across the bay to the little village of Seldovia. It was a quiet day and of course, Xena was the most popular passenger on the boat!

Here are some pictures of our little getaway.

Xena tries to eat a crab at low tide. The crab won that fight.


Xena contemplates the darkening sky.


The Salty Dawg Saloon, outside, then inside. The entire interior is covered with dollar bills that patrons have placed there with push-pins over many years.


Now, I must get back to work making jewelry. The State Fair is fast approaching.

Going away ...

... for just a few days.

We haven't been to Homer in a few years. We love it there and plan to walk on the beach and eat great pizza. I promise to take some photos of Xena at the water's edge (she was scared of the little waves last time).

We may also make a stop at The Salty Dog. Can you believe I've never been there??

Til Thursday...

Morning Wind Pottery

My friend Marie Herdegen, the genius behind Morning Wind Pottery, is a wonderfully talented (and a bit quirky) potter. Her works are hand built and always whimsical. She has been participating in our Bad Girls of the North art shows for many years.

I drink coffee from one of her mugs nearly every morning. I serve hors d'oevres from her trays whenever I have guests. I serve olives in one of her wiggle trays whenever the opportunity arises.

Have a look at her website to see why I love her work so much!
