When the maillady showed up today she brought me a package from Canada. In it were two of the cutest little boxes....notice the message on the one.... from Tom Sanders. He does beautiful turnings in stone, wood and acrylic. Health problems have prevented him from "turning" much this year and he thought he might not be able to return to it at all. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled across these pieces of his on Esty. Naturally, I snapped them up!
One of the really cool things he does is the little certificate of authenticity. Each piece is numbered and signed. I bought two bowls, a serving platter and a mortar and pestle. You can poke the pictures to make them bigger....

Hi Tabitha....Toms work is awesome isn't it.
I've known him some time and have some of his work. As well as being extremely talented his is a super lovely guy.
He does have a blog....

He is building an extremely impressive Tudor house also.
Thanks for that blog link, Jayne. I don't know how I missed it. I am glad that he'll be able to continue his work. I am thrilled to own my newly acquired pieces!

No probs...must have been fate. I've not had time to read blogs for days but was stuck on hold on the phone so had a quick whizz though.... and out popped his name so I read on :-)
Beautiful Tabitha. Love the little Pestle and Mortar. x
Thank you very much Tabitha for following. Congrats with your buyings they are beautiful Rosanna
I am a big fan of Tom myself and have several pieces from him as well. He has quite a sense of humor, as well. ;)
I'm so glad I found your blog. :)
Thank You for all the wonderful comments about my work. (I'm blushing again)
I am always pleased when folks are happy with the pieces I send them.
Hey Jane ... hows the Pickled Pub coming? Likely no faster than my Tudor ... wanna race?
Tom
