Oregon Coast and the new plant stand.

I apologize for being such a tease last week. I was actually posting heading down I5 with my laptop tethered to my phone. We’ve long had this Oregon Coast trip planned once we knew the vaccinations were rolling out a few months ago.

A couple of the offspring on the beach.

Our entire family went on this trip. My son in law, my younger son’s long time girlfriend and even our doggos went to meet up with extended family. It was so good to see faces and hug everyone after the craziness of 2020. I know the pandemic isn’t over but everyone who attended our vacation was fully vaccinated.

6 by 6 Arts | Roots Indoor Plant Stand

I was just so excited after a long process of trying to make ideas work for a new plant stand - that we finally sorted one out.

This one really seems like a no brainer - Roots for a plant stand. Visually it’s great. Of course we test everything out first before we release them into the wild. One thing we figured out right away with this design that it only works for one size of stand. The layout and all that rooty goodness looks best within the 6.5” x 4” size. The roots are very delicate. Shrinking them will make them extremely fragile. Enlarging them made them a bit chaotic and cartoony.

I was so happy to hear such wonderful feedback already about this design. I did take a little hounding about the lack of their availability over the weekend. But here we are and they are available in our shop.

We recommend these for indoor use only. Aesthetic outdoor photos are acceptable.

Please let me know if you have any questions about our plant stands in the comments below.

New Stockist - Timberline Lodge (Yes, THE Timberline Lodge)

Recently, John and I travelled to OSU for a volleyball tournament for one of our daughters. Any parent with a kid in a demanding activity, knows how long days can get while traveling with a team/group. Every night we were more than excited to chill out in the hotel. Taking off our shoes, eating some snacks and zoning out on tv. We happened to catch one of those "Northwest History" shows that featured the Timberline Lodge one night in the hotel. John and I both commented how we both hadn't been out that way in years and guzzled up all the historic information that show shared about the lodge.  What an amazing place with incredible art.

Fast forward a month and a half, we had spontaneous interaction with a representative from the lodge and they asked about our products and the rest is history. You can find our goods at the lodge's gift shop. Now, you should just go because it's one of the most magical places on Earth with a rich history and it's not too far from Portland.

But for you PNW Stephen King fans, might we inspire a bit of wanderlust... as it is "The Overlook Hotel" in the movie The Shining. At least the exterior is. 

Add it to your travel bucket lists friends!

Crafty Wonderland Spring Art and Craft Market June 4th!

We have a many projects keeping us busy right now. So much so, that we decided to cut back on shows this summer. One of the two we decided to do is Crafty Wonderland's Spring Art and Craft Market - this Saturday June 4th 11am to 6pm at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland. It's free to attend and looking ahead at the weather report, it looks like it could be a great refuge from the crazy high temperature expected on Saturday. (Air conditioning yo!)

We will have MANY things on sale/clearance as we are phasing out a few of our products beginning this month. Deals will be had! 

Visit us at booth #98 at the one day craft market event! We're only going to be out in the wild a couple times this summer.

New stockist - Powell's Books

One of THE places to go in Portland, Oregon is Powell's Books. Their stores are a book lovers dream come true. I've always found treasures and had excellent customer service every time. Also, they host great events too! We are beyond excited to announce that Powell's is our newest stockist!

View fullsize

Look for our Oregon and Washington chalkboard magnets at Powell's.

We were asked to include a little sign so folks who walk by know who made them. We're so excited to take up even just a tiny spot in such an awesome store.

Happiest Friday to all!

Crafty Wonderland - THIS WEEKEND!!!

Ack! I'm so excited!!! 6 by 6 Arts will be vending at Crafty Wonderland at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland Oregon this weekend!!!

We're looking forward to the show and hanging out in Portland in the evenings after the show. We will have at least one of our six kids with us. So we're looking for fun kid friendly suggestions for when we're there.
