CURRENT PRODUCTION INFO:
Monday 5/19, Noon, PST UPDATE: Sold a lot of newer pieces in Gresham and have updated available items with the exception of adding photos for 8 new pieces. Will get onto those by Monday (sooner if possible). Have to get some chores done and then onto casting (it takes 30 days for items to cure BEFORE painting them). I will continue painting and listing more pieces as the week progresses. Check back Wednesday for a production update.

If you have a request (as to color or leaf type) let me know so I can create a custom listing for you.

I attempt to photo and list items when I have sunshine so you can see the colors I use unfortunately the camera just doesn't pick up the extent of color and shading I use. I still have hundreds more leaves to paint and promise to keep them coming out in time for Mother’s Day and incoming Spring/Summer weather.

ALTERNATE PAYMENT OPTIONS: Please convo me. I will gladly accept checks (given time for clearance and will mark your item RESERVED while your check is processing).

LOCAL DELIVERIES:
I will provide some deliveries and pickups for gifts as needed in April, please CONVO me for details so I can mark your pieces Reserved and adjust the shipping charges. I do not have a "studio" so I can deliver items instead.

2013 SCHEDULE:
Most of my pre-Mother's Day sales will be online however if you are looking for local pickup or delivery please send me a CONVO through Etsy!

Show scheduling through July will be more sporadic due to berry vendors filling many of the farmers markets (and my single vacation each year). Catch up with me early in the season while I have larger selections to choose from.

LOCAL SHOWS:
(SPECIAL NOTE FOR ALL SHOWS REGARDING WEATHER: If the forecast predicts RAIN for that day, I may not be able to sell. I do NOT use a canopy at shows and can't afford to pack wet display items into my car thus growing mushrooms and mold as a result. I will post TENTATIVE on all shows where weather is indicating rain. I will CONFIRM or CANCEL as that show approaches within 3 days of the show. Please check show dates close to the time of the show. Thanks!)

If you have a favorite show you'd like to see me attend, do let me know as I'll be trimming down my appearances from the 2012 schedule of 3 shows per week!

CUSTOM REQUESTS: If you see something in my SOLD items you would like for yourself, contact me. I may have the leaf type and size to customize it for you! I've sold hundreds of leaves but most are at local shows, I may have a finish you'd love if you can name the color! (I number and photograph all of my pieces). Every piece is one of a kind and my stock constantly rotates. Few leaves EVER look the same (shape, size, depth, colors, etc.), hence numbering each individual leaf.

AVAILABLE "GIANT" PIECES: I have multiple extra-large, unpainted pieces (averaging 4 feet or wider) are not brought to local shows (due to size/weight): gunnera, tetrapanax, japanese butterbur and others... Contact me if you are interested in these for water features, garden focal pieces or alters, etc.
