Just found out that Pottery Caffe, Boulder’s lovely little paint-your-own-pottery and espresso bar, is for sale. I’ve always liked going there because they’re very accommodating to dogs of all sizes. My Great Dane is as welcome there as my Chihuahua. I would never actually bring the Great Dane in of course, because he is named after Ferdinand the Bull for some pretty obvious reasons and it’s generally considered unwise to bring a bull into a china (pottery) shop. Anyhoo, if anyone reading this has interest in owning-your-own paint-your-own, get in touch with me. It’s been well-established for 9 years and has a superb location tucked on the north side of Boulders venerable McGuckin’s hardware store and right in between Salon Salon and JJ Wells so it gets great foot traffic. Here’s the website: http://www.potterycaffe.com

Ferdinand the Bull-puppy: Howling

I think the type of client I work with at any given time is a reflection of that time and whew! are the times a-crazy now. In the middle of moving to a new home I thought it was a good time to also completely remodel my website and start a new business as a Silpada jewelry rep and continue scheduling photo shoots and offer to start doing photo shoots of new home listings for my real estate agent. Not sure why that sounded good all at the same time but there it is. My most recent photo shoot felt just like my life: chaotic! But it all turned out fun. She had three adorable dogs and wanted a family portrait of herself with them all. Great idea but - wow - these were energetic dogs Shirley, the human, is a lovely person and her dogs just adore her. I think we finally got some good shots once the critters calmed down. Here’s a sample!
