If you are in the area, here are a few wonderful places to visit in Paso Robles that we discovered today! First, The Black Market Cheese Company. We had a tour of the goats and sheep. Their lama helps protect the herds! Then a sampling of their fresh delicious cheeses made by the nicest couple. In the most beautiful patio and dining room with chandeliers!
Then on to the Sierra Honey Farm! the next stop was the Hambly Lavender Farm where you can pick your own bouquet and visit their shop of everything made with lavender. Salves, room sprays, essential oil, gelato, goat soap and other great products made from their lavenders! Ever had lavender syrup in your lemonade? I love their soaps! We learned so much visiting these farmers and shepherds and appreciated sharing their knowledge in their specialties.

Glass is a fascinating medium. After being introduced to glass by a well- known glass artist, we started an art studio in Gilroy in 2009 where glass bead making, glass blowing, lapidary, metal working and stone carving classes were offered and taught by well-known instructors. My husband manufactured glass shaping tools. We have moved to Paso Robles but continue to have friends and relatives in Gilroy and participate in various boutiques/shows. Glass is versatile and can be manipulated by melting on a torch, melted in design molds, and carved, as well as in other techniques. Our projects are kiln fired with temperatures up to 1500 degrees for 8-9 hours. My husband, Frank, continues to work in his machine shop while I, with my friend Lani, design and create art pieces in the form of jewelry, garden art, and home art.

What is druzzy in a stone?
“Druzy is a type of natural gemstone featuring glittering crystals that form a layer over a host rock, such as quartz, amethyst, or agate, resulting from sedimentary and mineral-rich fluids leaving behind silica that crystallizes over time”.
This is an onyx stone with a great example of druzzy! My favorite stone, onyx on silver.

And the first shop building is finished. Almost. Electricity inside is next.

Working with glass has been lots of fun this year while i patiently wait for our new shop building, maybe not so patiently. But I miss my metal work! so after reorganizing my little temporary shop, I will bring out the millions of metalworking tools (it takes many tools) to restart my jewelry projects and keep learning new techniques.

I shelled about only 15 lbs of walnuts, down from the 30+ I usually do. Saving some for baking throughout the year but also made glazed walnuts for my friends and relatives! Yes they have sugar and walnuts were sprayed for spiders inside of them, so not organic!

It’s starting to warm up here in Paso! Frank put up a shade cloth in my shop patio and it’s a beautiful breezy day to sit outside and listen to my Mexican romantic music and drink a seltzer all by myself. We needed a place to rest during the hot work days ahead. My little cacti is sprout babies and will transplant them to new pots.
