Yesterday I officially hosted my very first collective Open Studio sale! As much as we needed a good day-long rain, I was a little peeved at the sky for choosing yesterday to be that day. Nevertheless, a good handful of determined, wonderful folks came all the way up our mountain to pay a visit and browse some hand-made goods. Yummy cheese and crackers, along with Immortal Mountain chocolates were consumed, fresh Hibiscus-Ginger spritzers were imbibed (recipe follows), conversations flowed, and artwork was purchased. All in all, a success considering these artists and customers had a week's notice.
Now, everyone get your holiday gifts made and wrapped and then get ready for the next sale! (late January-early February)
Hibiscus-Ginger Spritzers
2 Tbsp organic ginger puree (from the jar)
2 Tbsp dried hibiscus petals (or 4 tea bags, from natural food store)
4 Tbsp organic agave nectar
1.5 cups water
Simmer these ingredients on low, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Strain, let cool, then mix into 2 liters of cold sparkling mineral water. Garnish with a fancy paper umbrella if you so desire and serve to excited guests.
spritzer and studio both, very festive! so glad it went well.
