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.

Shepard Center is located at 3330 McKinley Blvd., Sacramento, in the panhandle of McKinley Park.

Garden Checklist for week of Feb. 9
Be careful walking or working in wet soil; it compacts easily.
* Keep the irrigation turned off; the ground is plenty wet with more rain on the way.
* February serves as a wake-up call to gardeners. This month, you can transplant or direct-seed several flowers, including snapdragon, candytuft, lilies, astilbe, larkspur, Shasta and painted daisies, stocks, bleeding heart and coral bells.
* In the vegetable garden, plant Jerusalem artichoke tubers, and strawberry and rhubarb roots.
* Transplant cabbage and its close cousins – broccoli, kale and cauliflower – as well as lettuce (both loose leaf and head).
* Indoors, start peppers, tomatoes and eggplant from seed.
* Plant artichokes, asparagus and horseradish from root divisions.
* Plant potatoes from tubers and onions from sets (small bulbs). The onions will sprout quickly and can be used as green onions in March.
* From seed, plant beets, chard, lettuce, mustard, peas, radishes and turnips.
* Annuals are showing up in nurseries, but wait until the weather warms up a bit before planting. Instead, set out flowering perennials such as columbine and delphinium.
* Plant summer-flowering bulbs including cannas, calla lilies and gladiolus.
