Everybody needs a calendar - and the new AGLF calendar is ready to order - and an Etsy treasury

So I'm doing this chronologically backwards I guess, or maybe just out of order, but if I was going to write my blog posts in chronological order you wouldn't see this one until the year the calendar is for is over (talk about a run-on sentence).

This is the third year that my friends at the Artisan and Glassworker Legal Fund have put a calendar together, and the necklace I had in the EHCC Trash Art Show this year is in it:




If you want to look at the rest of the preview and/or order a calendar or three (they make good presents too), go here:

And if you need other gift ideas, here are some from the Hilo area, put together by Daveda of the Etsy shop thewhatnaught:

Update on clove seeds

Apparently there are going to be 2 clove and clove seeds harvests from our tree this year. Unfortunately I'm currently in the slump between them as the seeds are concerned. That's still a lot more clove seeds than the rest of the year but nowhere near like during the harvest time. I am still able to do a small order or so per week but for the larger ones it's going to be a while, sorry.

As I'm already here I'd like to share another Etsy Treasury that has an item of mine in it, this time not from one of the Etsy teams I'm in but from somebody who found a jewelry set of mine and likes it enough to include it:

'Practice Aloha and ... Collect Hawaiiana from Etsy Shops' by DriftlineCuriosities

Nona Beamer was born in Hawai`i in 1923. She dedicated her life to the education of Hawaiians and those who have a desire to learn about Hawaiian culture and hula. She is the one who coined the word HAWAIIANA.
