## Tiny pottery
My latest obsession is making tiny things. I have been making tiny vases as fridge magnets and tiny mugs as keyrings or bag charms. Here are some of the tiny mugs with a full sized one for comparison:

## Going to markets
I'm always changing up how I setup my things at markets. I'm very pleased with this current setup. While it doesn't look like there are any less items on my table, I only had two things to carry: an IKEA bag and a crate on wheels. I admit that as I get older, I need to be mindful of what I'm expecting my body to do.

## I have a mascot!
I commissioned my talented daughter to design me a mascot. I wanted something that was Japanese inspired and asked her to draw a Tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog). The little guy is holding one of my mugs from the sunset collection. I have incorporated her design on my signage and packaging. I have even ordered stickers and epoxy keychains that I am planning to either sell as merchandise or use as giveaways at markets. This is her design:
