Shazam

Shazam! What a day we had at the farmers and artisans market. We were so busy at one point that we had trouble keeping up with our customers - what an incredible situation to be in [le chuckle]. Traditional summer weather for this bit of peninsula sticking out in Lake Michigan was the order of the day - sunny, but not too hot. A great day to be out and about at the local farmers and artisans market.

Customers just loved the new items in the booth. Soozee's coverall totes were a hit this week, as were the maple syrup and honey bears. Some of the folk art garden fences went to new homes this week. Customers' faces just lit up when we' told them the garden fences were constructed from cabinet maker's scrap and lathe recycled from an old plastered wall. That folk art fits so well with our green commitment - it's made with recycled or scrap wood, left-over bits of paint and lots of talent.

The Cool City Classic Car Show - over 100 classic cars - is coming to town on Saturday, June 28th. So we'll see what that brings to the market. We have extended hours that day so folks attending both events can just wander between the two all day long. Well, at least until 5 p.m., when the cars leave to go home - or maybe on a cruise first.

So, here's to living in the best little city on the lakeshore and being a part of the best place to be on a Saturday morning.
