I love seeing the studio spaces of artists. Seeing where they work, create and dream up. This beautiful photo was taken by Sam Slater, Jewelry & Classes in her studio!

She teaches jewelry making classes, and I have heard from a few people who have taken them that they are wonderful. This was taken before her bangle making workshop and the rainbows from my suncatchers fill her studio in the prettiest way!

You can find both of us this December at Urban Craft Uprising the 4-6.

And you can find me and my rainbow makers tomorrow in Bellevue at glassybaby glassybaby bellevue from 5-8 pm to celebrate Sarah Simon • Watercolor • Artist • Teacher • Author Wanderland Ashley Rodriguez StudioLife

Glassybaby is asking people to RSVP so they have an idea for how much food Ashley Rodriguez will need to make, Sant’Angelus w**e, na w**es from NA Sommelier, Trophy Cupcakes | Seattle Bakery cupcakes and macarons to bring!

There will also be a free raffle that everyone that joins us will be entered to win! I hope to see you all there. It'll be a really sweet evening together.

Back in the pottery studio, working on more lil birds! These are tiny crows, and I am inspired by our mad lil Goosey Girl, of course.

She's so chatty all of the time that it always looks like she's mad and yelling, lol!

I'm calling these guys Concerned Crows. You can see how my style of them evolved as I was making them too, which I think is very fun. (Back left, compared to the front right.)

I hope to have these with me at Renegade Craft San Francisco! November 14+15, so save the date.

From finished product to the individual parts. These earrings are time consuming, but are true labor of love.

You can find my lightweight, ethereal Lily of the Valley Earrings this weekend at Renegade Craft Seattle!

There is a ✨ New location ✨ for the show this weekend! We will be at the Exhibition Hall at the Seattle Center right next to McCaw Hall. The new location is in a bigger space so there are more vendors than ever for this event. Over 200+ artists from around the US will be gathering for a sweet Fall market.

See you this weekend, Seattle! This is a new show and a new location for Renegade Craft at the Seattle Center. The bigger location means ~50 additional vendors and I am so so so excited.

During holiday shows, Andy and I are always so busy we can rarely if ever leave my booth, so I'm holiday shopping at this one if I can!

I don't have another local show planned until December, so if you would like to shop in person, maybe grab a few suncatchers to tuck into holiday cards, this weekend is it!

It's that time of year again, to start prepping your garden for winter. If you have Basil in your garden, you can harvest all of the leaves before the first frost, food process the leaves and freeze them in mini ice cube trays with a bit of Olive or Grapeseed Oil. They both have higher smoke points than Extra Virgin Olive Oil, so I prefer it when you don't know what you'll be cooking a few months down the line.

Pop out a cube whenever you need fresh basil for dishes, and cook it directly from frozen.

Swipe to see a lil video of our one vertical garden bed that truly did the work this year. Heirloom tomatoes, nasturtiums, multiple varieties of Basil, shish*to and bell peppers, Japanese eggplant and cucumbers and failed peas that we planted way too late.

SEATTLE • If you don't want to say goodbye to your garden just yet, you can pick up one of my sweet gardening pins this weekend with Renegade Craft! This is a brand new location with more vendors than ever before. It's going to be such a fun time!

gift guide • Falling for Flowers 🥀

Leading into the holiday season, I am going to be putting together gift guides of pretty things I love. It will include work from friends, things that I've seen online and from markets that I've participated in.

They will feature original work from small businesses.

I hope you like this series as much as I enjoyed the process of creating it. You can find the guide on my website with direct links to where you can check out. Find the link located at the bottom of every page, copy this link here or check out the link in my bio.

If you have any theme suggestions, or product suggestions, please go to my website and add a comment on this post!

Is there something you're looking for? A gift for a sibling, a neighbor, or your pet? First of all I love those themes, second of all, please let me know!

I truly doubt any of these products will have affiliate links because so many of these businesses are so small, like mine, but if they do, I will always disclose it.

Does anyone remember treasuries on etsy back in the day? That's what I was inspired by. I'm still friends with so many people I met in this community groups way back when. If that's how we met, please drop an emoji!

As the days get shorter, colder and darker, I'm holding onto summer with these adorable Wildflower Earrings. These sweet earrings remind me of picnics in the park, outdoor concerts, and Sunday brunches with friends.

What do they remind you of? A place, a person, a moment in time? Please let me know, I love when you share with me.

I've been finalizing my Winter Tour dates, and am only waiting to hear back about my applications two more events. Right now I'm confirmed for events in Seattle, San Francisco, Tukwila, Santa Clara and Portland. Wish me luck on the final two! 🤞🏻✨

Scenes from a Night Market, CID September 2026.

Thank you so much for the lovely event, Seattle. The community, the friends, the customers, the weather, the dances and the food, it was all so nice, and a really sweet way to close my outdoor market season.

Thank you so much to Seattle’s Chinatown-International District for organizing and putting together events like these. For creating the traditions and memories, and reasons for generations and community to gather. Thank you to Shishido Creative for being such a community leader and inviting me into my first stamp rally. Thank you to Studio Toujours // Katrina for the Seattle Best Tea treat.

And thank you to everyone that showed up to chat, for the hugs, for the stories that you share, and for taking a moment to saying hello. 💗

My next event in Seattle is October 10+11 at the Seattle Center with Renegade Craft ILY Seattle
