Last weekend for US buyers to buy from my shop any ready to ship clay item, sadly, until a reasonably priced Delivery Duty Paid service comes available via tracked Canada Post. My items are tariff free under CUSMA.

A waxing gibbous moon from last night, looking orange from the haze of the not too distant wildfires in northern Ontario and Manitoba.

Sadly, I had to update the NEWS section of my Etsy shop announcement, to let potential US buyers know that as of Aug 29th 2025, their purchases from my shop may be assigned a tariff amount due in order to be received, % and amounts unknown to me. Sad today :-(

I was one of the lucky designers who got kept in the Society6 shake up this year. My sales had slowed a lot since 2022 (I've been on there since 2013). But, I hope this means maybe they'll increase a bit again. One can Hope lol!
Had to goose chase my shop url! Ugh!

The moon is always a pleasure to seek out in the sky, though not always visible at an ideal time, last night was around 11pm and it is a half moon now.
Several days before, it was just a sliver.

your shop photos are super well done, you have a gorgeous shop!

My art banner is up, along with the other artists' banners, all Summer along the Owen Sound harbour walking pier!

This is an older acrylic painting I did, circa 2007, "Girl in Quebec", painted from my own photo - I took some artistic licence with her face and likeness.

This image, of goslings at Lynde Shores, that I shot and did some editing on, was super super popular on Zazzle, but only sold once then was immediately cancelled like within minutes lol!!! Never could figure out why.

Decided to cancel my Etsy Plus subscription after having it for 2 years, just not making the sales to justify the cost of it anymore, though I did love having it and the listing credits &added multiple cover photo feature were useful.

what I believe is a '55 Studebaker, seen in town on our drive home from a hike yesterday afternoon

Added a new creation to my Etsy Shop - asimpleknead.com

Purse or bag charms. Following in the style vein of what I already create which is primitive artisan style pieces. 1st 2 pieces are popular themes in my shop! Made with super hard epoxy resin clay.

The strawberry moon through clouds on June 10th, the hazy moon June 9th. Shot with my Nikon D610 and Nikkor 70-300 zoom lens.

The moon appeared so orange in the sky from our yard last night! I can even see a partially lit crater on the left (shadowed) side!
