Doesn't feel like we've had much of a summer this year. We've even had the fire on for warmth a few times!
We visited the pottery festival in Warrandyte this morning - a collection of artists who gather by the river each year to display their art.

It was a gorgeous morning for it, already 28 degrees at 10am.
The yarra is so full after the rain we've had this summer.
I love these guys:
Such happy creatures to welcome us!
Kind generous souls making available their home grown produce for peckish visitors to nibble at!
I'm looking forward to seeing the 2011 bench at next year's expo!
How amazing are the works in this photo by Jena Bedson of Jena Ceramics. I love those ceramic sunflowers. The birdbath and the planter on totems are so covetable!
I was so happy to meet Julia from Mud Factory again, we already have one of her 'chooks' in our garden!
I love this little ceramic mobile from madebytruly.
Warrandyte village is filled with beautiful handcrafted items like this public water fountain:
Can you guess from my shadow what I'm carrying home from the market...?
I think they fit right in (the two ceramic sunflowers I brought home). I LOVE them!!
We had a great morning, thank you beautiful talented artists!
Master Bok wishes he could take this friendly fellow home...now wouldn't he be lovely on the front lawn! Someone for visitors to hug!
Seems like a very fun trip and very enjoyable day spent. Lots of nice crafts. You brought many treasures back home;-).
ReplyDeleteG'day I found you sticky beaking around blogland. Just thought I would say, years ago I made a visit to e the warrandyte fair, I am excited to see on your blog that it is still going strong. the chooks are great aren't they, as are the big flowers. Btw, i am a hobby potter.
ReplyDeleteHello girls! Yes I am guilty of reading lots of blogs :) I'm new to this and have been amazed by how many blogs there are to do with my favorite subjects, gardening, permaculture and sustainability! It's been so good to meet so many lovely people. It's very absorbing looking at how others are managing their gardens and I wonder what Mr Bok makes of it all :) The kids have been looking curiously at my screen though and making comments on some of the blogs I come across. So good to get inspiration from others!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I especially love those little chooks, looking at me all wide-eyed. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your day with us! :)
