It’s the annual Art by Fire Seconds Sale, featuring not-quite-perfect pieces of beautiful hand-crafted pottery, ceramics, metalwork and glass – all made by local artisans.
Set for Saturday, Jan. 14, this sale will pack Shepard Garden and Arts Center. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission and parking are free.
“A very special sale of less-than-perfect pottery, glass, metal and clay work at perfectly affordable prices!” say the organizers. “Treat yourself to an after-holiday present! Shop EARLY for best selection.”
Sacramento Potters Group/Art by Fire is home to dozens of talented artisans; many of them will contribute to this sale. This event is a great opportunity to find one-of-a-kind vases (wonderful for flower arrangements) and tableware plus much more.

Dig In: Garden Checklist
For week of March 26:
Sacramento can expect another inch of rain from this latest storm. Leave the sprinklers off at least another week. Temps will dip down into the low 30s early in the week, so avoid planting tender seedlings (such as tomatoes). Concentrate on these tasks before or after this week’s rain:
* Fertilize roses, annual flowers and berries as spring growth begins to appear.
* Knock off aphids with a strong blast of water or some bug soap as soon as they appear.
* Pull weeds now! Don’t let them get started. Take a hoe and whack them as soon as they sprout.
* Prepare summer vegetable beds. Spade in compost and other amendments.
* Prune and fertilize spring-flowering shrubs after bloom.
* Feed camellias at the end of their bloom cycle. Pick up browned and fallen flowers to help corral blossom blight.
* Feed citrus trees, which are now in bloom and setting fruit.
To prevent sunburn and borer problems on young trees, paint the exposed portion of the trunk with diluted white latex (water-based) interior paint. Dilute the paint with an equal amount of cold water before application.
* Cut back and fertilize perennial herbs to encourage new growth.
* Seed and renovate the lawn (if you still have one). Feed cool-season grasses such as bent, blue, rye and fescue with a slow-release fertilizer. Check the irrigation system and perform maintenance. Make sure sprinkler heads are turned toward the lawn, not the sidewalk.
* In the vegetable garden, transplant lettuce and kale.
* Seed chard and beets directly into the ground.
* Plant summer bulbs, including gladiolus, tuberous begonias and callas. Also plant dahlia tubers.
* Shop for perennials. Many varieties are available in local nurseries and at plant events. They can be transplanted now while the weather remains relatively cool.
