Short holiday in Mexico

We left 8 new jugbirds at Crafthouse YVR as we left for a week in Puerto Vallarta. So nice to have that done. On our return before the sun came up yesterday I was able to see how they are displayed!

The week in Mexico was lovely as a break from rain, some snow and greyness here. No internet, papers or phone, just warmth, photography, walking, reading and good company and no cooking. Puerto Vallarta is just right for a holiday – markets, shops selling ‘artesanias’, galleries, flowers and totally different birds. I’ll post some photos in the next few days.
Meanwhile I have a request for a large ‘Watering Canard’ for Circle Craft, a vase for Eric Metcalfe to paint, bowls to make for a ‘Gogos’ fundraiser, and a Flicker jugbird. AND I’ve been invited to have some stoneware pots included in a salt firing in early March. So tomorrow it’s back to the wheel!
