I'm at booth 503: come straight in the door: head straight ahead to the back, and hang a left. I'm near Pookie's Thai Ottawa

When the walnut is THIS beautiful, its hard to stop making bowls from it.

I’ll also be at the Nepean Sportsplex Nov 2nd to Nov 5th, https://fb.me/e/3X2yDzl6r
and the Canadian Museum of History Christmas market on Nov 23 to 26th.

I also have some stunning spice mills made from the same log: this all comes from a stunning walnut tree that sadly came down in the Kemptville area.

Follow along to see more beautiful items being created…

I was supposed to be at a great little market today (sunday Oct 15) : Broadhead Brewery. and Emri Home But I feel like crud, and so I think for only the 2nd time in 20 years I”m not at a market I signed up for :(

But please do go and support the event: there are some lovely vendors there and you’ll have a great time.

Brand new spice mills available today 613flea!!!
Saturday 10AM to 4PM.
If you’re an lover, come and see what beautiful things you can cook with!
These are all made from Ottawa area woods, (Apple, Maple, Walnut) and use a high quality food safe ceramic grinder. (No ‘unknown metals’ in a grinder from China…)
Perfect for anything from salt to pepper, herbs, spices, even harder things like fennel and flaxseed.
Also works for “leafy recreational substances” :)
Beautiful finish in walnut oil and beeswax; a perfect gift for yourself or someone you care for who loves to cook.

As the holidays creep closer: 613flea will have your back: Come visit Oct 14th and talk pens, spice mills, bowls, chopsticks and furniture.
These beautiful spice mills are made from reclaimed Ottawa area maple and walnut: and are made with a high quality food-safe ceramic spice grinder.
I won’t make a spice mill with anything less.
You can recognize these by the fact that they are ‘clean’ on top:no bolts or weird handles.
They’ll happily grind any herb or spice you want, or the more simple salt/pepper as well.
The photo shows the log-section that one of the maple mills came from: and not a piece of wood goes to waste: the smaller leftover pieces turn into pens or chopsticks.
