Farmers Markets and Weird Stuff

Made out of corks. Price $750.00
 
Made out of pennies.Price $800      


An early walk on the beach this morning and I saw two eagles snacking on a sea lion carcass. No sign of the USGS guys doing any research today.

Jack and I went to the Newport and Waldport Farmers Markets. The usual produce,soaps etc but at the Waldport Market a lady from Indio was selling jewelry she had made out of dried potatoes. She cuts up the potatoes (organic) and spreads them on a table to dry for about 7 days...then paints them and adds beads. They are actually pretty cool. All you desert dwellers I think I've found our winter project!

I made a trip to the Newport Aquarium Village hoping to visit my favorite knick knack shop but it is closed down. Instead, I found the cork and penny forms for sale in another trinket shop. Interesting but a bit expensive. I have been saving corks for years by the way......

Another beautiful sunny day. Temps in the lower 60's.
