Market Day

My favorite day of the week! 

I didn't get as many pictures this week since I had a booth.  I made a batch of market skirts this week to sell, and they were a hit.  I also had hair bows and pins, onesies, kids clothes and some other odds and ends.  The main reason for doing a booth is to keep the space in front of Greenies focused on Greenies.  And hey if I can make some spare cash what the heck!.

Go Local!

Last week I stumbled on a fabulous website called The 3/50 Project.  It is a website dedicated to promoting independent retailers and restaurants.  Of course this kind of thing directly affects {or effects, not really sure, its early!}me, being a local business myself, but it is such a great cause so I want to help spread the word.

The goal of The 3/50 Project is to get you to think about supporting your community.  Here's what you do.  Every month spend $50 at your favorite local shops.  Not $50 at each one.  But $50 during the month.  Easy peasy right?!  Their website will tell you all the reasons why this would be so awesome if everyone did that. 

Like... if half of the employed population did what I just mentioned, it would generate over 42 BILLION in revenue.  And that for every dollar you spend locally 68% of it returns to your community.  But if you buy it online.  NONE of it does.  Crazy huh. 

So head to the Farmer's Market this weekend, or eat at your favorite little restaurant for me.   Grab their button (mines on my sidebar) and help out this awesome cause.  I'm not the only one who would appreciate it!

Powerful?

I try not to get too personal on here but whats more crafty than being a Mom? 
We have struggled with infertility for several years and were blessed enough to be able to do IVF and have Ivy join our family on the first try.  Second and third round, not so lucky.  And since then we have decided to adopt.  We have a wonderful opportunity that we hope works out for us.   If you could please keep us in your prayers over the next few weeks we would appreciate it. 
Love,

Farmer's Market Day

Finally!
The weather hasn't been very summer like around here.  But look at those berries!  Nothing says its time for summer like that. 

The Richland Farmer's Market started today.  It is literally right outside Greenies door.

It is the highlight of my week in the summer.  I love all of the gorgeous colors and fabulous smells,

and the interesting people selling their wares.

I love how it is different every week, as the season passes.   

There are some new vendors this year which I am excited about too.  

Um yeah, aren't those almost too pretty to eat?!  Yep, almost.  

What is your favorite treat at the farmer's market?!

Just an Excuse!
