Hard Cider
Dry cider is best with strong cheese (gorgonzola) and pork dishes. Sweet cider goes well with spicy foods and is great for sipping. Serve chilled.

 Featured Vendor: Lauri's Jewelry Garden
Everyone should be able to afford art. By art, I mean real one-of-a-kind pieces that are handmade by the artist. This is the philosophy I use to create my art.
The raw materials are what inspire my designs. Whether I am working with gemstones and silver or polymer clay (pictured above), I often find myself staring at these objects until I am driven to turn it into something new. I go out of my way NOT to look at what other jewelry artists are doing to ensure that what I create is of my own inspiration.
When I first began working with polymer clay, I wondered if what I was doing was too obvious. My confidence was boosted, however, when I introduced my polymer clay designs to the public in early September 2007. Customers commented on how unique and special my art was and my sales soared above my wildest expectations.
I started making and selling jewelry in 2002. Due to positive feedback from customers and good sales, my business has grown by leaps and bounds over the last five years. I have lived in Oregon all of my life and am thankful for the great farmers' markets and art venues that have allowed me to flourish in my craft. I am especially grateful to all of the people who show their appreciation for what I do by purchasing my creations. Portland is truly a wonderful place to live.
