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 Sept. 24:
This week our weather will be just right for fall gardening. What are you waiting for?
* Now is the time to plant for fall. The warm soil will get these veggies off to a fast start.
* Keep harvesting tomatoes, peppers, squash, melons and eggplant. Tomatoes may ripen faster off the vine and sitting on the kitchen counter.
* Compost annuals and vegetable crops that have finished producing.
* Cultivate and add compost to the soil to replenish its nutrients for fall and winter vegetables and flowers.
* Fertilize deciduous fruit trees.
* Plant onions, lettuce, peas, radishes, turnips, beets, carrots, bok choy, spinach and potatoes directly into the vegetable beds.
* Transplant cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower as well as lettuce seedlings.
* Sow seeds of California poppies, clarkia and African daisies.
* Transplant cool-weather annuals such as pansies, violas, fairy primroses, calendulas, stocks and snapdragons.
* Divide and replant bulbs, rhizomes and perennials. That includes bearded iris; if they haven’t bloomed in three years, it’s time to dig them up and divide their rhizomes.
* Dig up and divide daylilies as they complete their bloom cycle.
* Divide and transplant peonies that have become overcrowded. Replant with “eyes” about an inch below the soil surface.
* Late September is ideal for sowing a new lawn or re-seeding bare spots.
