The Sunday Artisans were up early on July 4
to set up in the parking lot at the southeast corner of Chetco Boulevard and Oak Street. Vendors included Violet and Len Burton with their charming booth of Len's original oil paintings and prints, Violet's original photography and prints and lots of Len's wonderful hand painted creations in wood.
Violet chatting with a customer while Len gets a bag for her purchase of a print of his gorgeous oil painting of the bridge at Gold Beach.
Len has an intriguing new item... framed seascapes with a "shadow box" below filled with seashells, small driftwood and other small "found" items from the beach. The back can be opened so you can include your own beach treasures.
Other vendors at the Sunday Artisans included fine jewelry, handcrafted leather items, pottery and stone work, and beautiful succulents.
Jerry Aydelott's succulents are all healthy, beautiful and potted attractively. If you're looking for nice succulents you can contact Jerry at easycare@earthlink.net.
Here he is, Mr. Plein Aire himself, Rob Decker, offering a home grown blueberry to Trude Zmoelnig. Rob's pastels are getting better by the day and are still priced reasonably.
You'll find the Sunday Artisans at the corner of Checo Avenue (Highway 101) and Oak Street, every Sunday during July, August, and September. They will offer artist demonstrations, arts, crafts, plants, garden items, and some produce. Hours are 10 am to 4 pm every Sunday.
There are a few spaces available - a 10 x 10 booth space is $16. If you'd like to become a Sunday Artisan, contact Violet Burton at 541-469-9522 or burtonique@charter.net.
