Well, hell. Apparently I cannot even go to work without spending my paycheck. 😂

In my defense… Dolly Parton.

I mean, what was I supposed to do? Clock in, behave responsibly, and just WALK PAST HER?

Absolutely not.

Working at a refillery is supposed to help me consume less.

There appear to be exceptions. 🤠✨

✨ OLD SOULS. NEW STORIES. ✨

A few new pieces have found their way into the ReLove section at Vessel Refillery, and I am pretty smitten with them.

There is just something about old furniture—the solid wood, the little imperfections, the drawers that have been opened a thousand times. These pieces have already lived a life, and instead of being discarded, they get the chance to live another one. 🌿

I cleaned them up, gave them a little love where they needed it, and let all that wonderful character remain.
The roll-top desk might be my favorite. (Although I probably shouldn't pick favorites. 😉) Add in a sweet little wood table and that perfectly imperfect cream-and-woven stand, and suddenly we have a whole collection of furniture waiting for its next home.

Because ReLove isn't about making something new. It's about seeing the value in what is already here. ♻️🤎

Come wander through the ReLove section at Vessel Refillery and see what has arrived.

Maybe one of these old souls is ready to start its next story with you.

Let's support our libraries!

Our Fine Arts Festival is coming up soon! Join us on August 22nd, 9am-2pm, on Line Street by our new building (no we havent moved yet), and come shop at our amazing vendors!

Next up is MWR Designs

Every piece I create is a learning experience. My hope is that my vessels are not just seen, but used — held closely, shared, and perhaps even tied to moments of connection, like a warm cup of coffee with someone special.

Over the years, I’ve had favorite cups. Sometimes it was the way they rested perfectly in my hand, or how they met my lips just right. Through making functional vessels, I have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the craft — and for the hands that made those beloved objects. It is my hope that, one day, someone will feel the same way about a cup shaped by mine.

Please enjoy the fruits of my labor. It brings me great joy to know that my vessels are held, shared, and that a small piece of clay from my hands becomes part of the quiet, beautiful moments of human connection.

Come find me, say hello, pick up some pottery, and see what all of these talented local artists have been creating.

Shop small. Meet the maker. Buy the weird little thing that makes you smile. 😉

That’s what art festivals are for.

There is something about the last little bit of August that I absolutely love. 🌻

Summer hasn't quite packed her bags yet, but you can feel the change coming.

The sunflowers seem brighter. The evenings begin to soften. The colors get warmer. We start thinking about cinnamon apples, cozy gatherings, open windows, and finding reasons to sit a little longer with the people we love.

And maybe that's why fall has always been my favorite season. 🍂

It feels like an invitation to slow down.
To gather.
To create.
To share a meal.
To spend time with friends.

To notice the changing colors and breathe in that first hint of crispness in the air.

Today I started making room in my booth at The Rink for all of it. Sunflowers are blooming everywhere, the harvest broom has arrived, a certain little scarecrow is keeping watch, and more fall goodness is still to come.
I'm not rushing summer out the door...

…but I may have cracked the door open and whispered, “Fall, you can come in now.” 🍁🌻

Due to the potential for severe weather tomorrow, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our market tomorrow out of concern for vendor and patron safety. This decision was not made lightly and is the first time we have had to cancel due to potential severe weather. We hope you will visit our page here tomorrow as we will post some promotion for our wonderful vendors who were slated to be in attendance tomorrow. Our next and final market of 2026 will be Saturday, September 12 from 9 am to 1 pm in front of Pathway Community Church (1010 Carroll Rd., Fort Wayne). Thank you for your support of our market and stay safe!

Nothing but joy and whimsy. 🌸

Sometimes inspiration doesn't come from grand ideas. It comes from the pansies growing along the path, a tiny bloom catching the morning light, or a bird stopping just long enough to remind you to slow down.
This little collection was made with those moments in mind.

Each flower was sculpted by hand, one petal at a time, then gathered into tiny bouquets that wrap around mugs, vases, and tea jars. Soft, speckled stoneware became the canvas, while cheerful blooms brought each piece to life.

I hope they make someone smile before the first sip of tea, the first bouquet from the garden, or the first glance across the room.

There is enough heaviness in the world.

Today, I choose flowers. Today, I choose whimsy. Today, I choose joy.
