Shannon Hennrich, Confectioner

We have a few food items that make perfect holiday gifts.

Shannon Hennrich will be back with her mouth-watering peanut brittle, though I can't figure out how she will find time to do that while holding down her full-time teaching job in Beaverton, Oregon. She holds a doctorate in special education with a special interest in those students with ADHD.

My sister Billi will have her macadamia nut shortbread cookies that have been proclaimed by experts to be the best they have ever tasted!

I will have the almond toffee that has sold out every year.

  

Carol Allen will have homemade dog bones and catnip for our four-legged friends.

Leanne Fernald, Confectioner

So I have to tell you about my latest experimentation.

I make the almond toffee - like 30 pounds of it.

I have lots of crumbs left over when I break it into pieces.

I hate to throw all those crumbs away.

Idea: Why don't I use toffee crumbs in oatmeal cookies?

Mistake: read "vegetable shortening" as "vegetable oil".

The cookies turned out to be wonderful, crispy oatmeal cookies with toffee chunks, chocolate, and walnuts (the left overs from the candy.)

Tiny little cookies take hours to make, but they're great and are just the right size!

Now I'm in the business of making tiny little oatmeal "bites".

Combine a day at the ocean with a visit to the Seaview Manor Bazaar in Seaside, OR, October 24 and 25, 2014.

Suzanne Alberts, Artist

Sue is returning to the bazaar for a second year. She has spent her life raising her family, pursuing her career in nursing, and dabbling in artistic interests. 

Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1986, Sue honed her artistic talents, using watercolors to replace physical activities. 





She painted while her husband Phil walked; they were "alone together" in the scenic byways of Oregon.

Never one to give up, Sue says, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." One door closed and she made sure she opened another door.

Quite a few of our artists come to us from the medical community. That could be because my sister, Billi, and my original co-host, Carol, have been relentless in pursuing their friends to be vendors, or it could be that art is a great release for stressful jobs. Either way, I'm impressed.

Jean Furchner, Seamstress

Jean has been with us since 2008, madly sewing to keep up with demand.  Her reversible table runners are so popular. One side reflects fall colors and the other side is perfect for moving into the Christmas or Hannakah season. But she has other themes also.

Her placemats are also very popular - beautiful, fun, washable and durable. 

These are placemat sets, stacked because there are so many to choose from. Some sets are appropriate for holidays; some are perfect for the beach; some are elegant; and some are great for kids. 

If you look carefully, you can see the lovely materials Jean uses. I'll bet she can spend hours in a quilt shop!!

So we look forward to seeing you at the bazaar in Seaside, Oregon, October 24 and 25, 2014. 

Vicki Moser, Photographer and Artist

This is Vicki's second year with us. She is a graphic designer in Portland, Oregon, by day and a photographer and artist during off hours. Vicki always has a camera in hand.

 She manipulates some of the photos into mandala-like images on her computer. The patterns that emerge surprise even her, reminding her of a kaleidoscope.

Look carefully at the pendants above and you can see Vicki is not only a creative photographer; she is a wizard on the computer.

Vicki also creates encaustics, a hot wax process applied to photographs or paintings that results in beautiful pieces of wall art. You can find more on her website at www.vickimoser.com

We look forward to seeing you at our Seaview Manor Bazaar

This Year's Ad Poster

Well, I promised to show you this year's poster commissioned from Bree Lichnovsky, our vendor from Ilwaco, WA, right on the coast. 

The longer I look at the painting, the more detail I see. I love the coastal theme. Her artwork is delightfully whimsical with the imps and a unique font that Bree designed. You will be seeing posters and postcards along the coast in shops, restaurants and hotels.

We are once again giving all our profits to the Clatsop County Women's Resource Center (now called The Harbor to include all the men, women and children they help.)

We're just steps from the beach, so combine a walk on the beach with a visit to our bazaar. Just remember to bring your wallet. Send an e-mail to fernaldlk@gmail.com for more information.

Val and Sue Munoz, Glass Artists

Sue and Val Munoz, from Long Beach, WA, are returning to the bazaar for the fourth year.  We are always excited to see what they are working on now.

Val is the expert at making wonderful trays out of recycled bottles.  He painstakingly removes the labels, collapses the bottles in a kiln, then ver-r-y carefully adheres the labels right back where they were.  The process is quite amazing!

These trays make the perfect gift for someone with a particular favorite beverage.









Sue is the expert at creating beautiful glassware like this plate.






Most recently they are making lamps, hanging and standing, in a variety of gorgeous colors

 

These creations fly out the door, so claim yours early so as not to miss out!
