Market Pics - See You This Week?

Here are some images from the air-conditioned Market last week, plus others from recent weeks. A very pleasant atmosphere for shopping + chatting! Come grab breakfast, meet friends, and let the kids color on our big brown paper.

We'd love to see you tomorrow - we'll have some produce, baked goods, beverages, eggs, granola, and more! Plus you can sign up to enter next week's Ice Cream Contest.... Can your flavor stand up to Margarita Ice or Mexican Chocolate or Tangy Goat Cheese?

We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Here's your chance to show your mad skillz - the SMM Ice Cream Contest!

We're closing out the Summer Season and kicking off the Fall.Whether it's fruit filled, candy coated, low-fat, or just plain strange, sign up to the right and bring your best ice cream.

--2 prizes: Most Original + Most Delicious
--The contest will be held Saturday, August 27, from 11AM - 1PM.

Of course, we will need everyone to come taste to vote on the winners..... Make plans to be there!

We Have A/C + Art This Week!

We know it's been hot - like HAWT! But this week we'll have air conditioning! We'll be in the same place, just further in the back, so follow the signs to the cool air of the indoor Market.

Also *NEW* for this week - we're starting an Art Meet-Up at the SMM - bring your supplies and we'll provide the inspiration! Kudos to Lathrop for the wonderful idea.

We Can Always Hope

I'm hoping that by Fall, we have a vendor like this:

via the Alkaline Sisters

Complete with Lime + Coconut pops, dairy free sorbetto, and 'master cleanse' pops :)

What vendors do you want to see? What vendor do you want to be?

See You Soon, Market Peeps!

I need some fresh produce in a bad way, so I hope my friends from Meridian Farm will be back this week! Have you tried their pickled okra? Wowee-zowee - a little zing of jalapeno + lots of garlic + dill... nom nom!

We had a vendor with monogrammed items last week - everyone loved her!

We also had a food truck last week. You never know what you'll get at the Market - but you can be sure it'll be better than sitting at home - so come see us! Sparkleberry Cottage will have a bacon cheddar scone waiting for you.

See you at Market!

I'm already looking forward to my Saturday morning ritual: turn the lock, roll up the doors, greet vendors, munch a bacon cheddar scone from Sparkleberry Cottage, and watch the day unfold.

Meridian Farm has been bringing organic produce for several weeks + they're developing quite a following. Their booth is cute and is always overflowing with squash, eggplant, tomatoes, corn, zucchini chips, homemade pickles, pickled beans, etc. They're so nice to work with + they really help make the market great.

Lathrop will be there with her OJ + lemonade, and I'm hoping her sister will be back with her deviled eggs. She brought deviled eggs topped with caviar last week - and let me tell you, they were good! Way to raise the bar, Bowen!

Pasco Farms will be there, along with an assortment of others, so come so your grocery shopping where it's fresh + local - we'd love to see you!

See you in the AM!
