Spring is in the Market!

 The People's Market has a few wonderful spring pieces that will cheer up any house or summer porch. The arrangements are artificial and oh so colorful. As if the colors weren't enough the bouquet has a set of lights nestled in it to add that little extra something! MOM would love these beautiful arrangements!

Spring is in the air at the market!

Spring has sprung at the People's Market! We have a display of new items on the counter at the People's Market and are excited to have some new candles (soy and beeswax!), new jam's and we love the Ichibana vase that holds a wonderful display of spring...daffodils from the nearby demolition project!  Yes, the old Chris and Green's restaurant on the corner is now gone. With the passing of time we must understand that everything has it's time~ like the daffodils in the vase and the old restaurant.

Well...we do believe it is now the "time" of the People's Market! Vendors and artisans are bringing in new "spring" items with color and life, so stop by to see the new pieces....

we continue to have new vendors stopping in to share their trades and new displays going up weekly!

Happy Spring!

The People's Market now has a whicker table out front so that the happy wanderers can rest their weary bones and have a water or Vemma...or simply sit and enjoy the warm sun!

New Vendors!

We have added a few vendors and need to catch up on vendors that have been here...

You name it and Jill Jerram hand paints her beautiful floral designs on it! Jill has a gift when it comes to painting. She has a small table, lazy susans, bowls, purses and jewelry and trays at the People's Market. Stop in and take a look at her designs...you never know what you will find that she has hand painted!

We're not clowing around...

The People's Market is picking up traffic and is getting a real following since the Grand Opening. People are coming out of hibernation and are wandering out a bit. It has been wonderful and we are getting compliments all over the place about the store and the artisans' work. People are thrilled to have a place to come to buy local items. People are regularly stopping by with requests to be vendors and a sampling of their work. The Governing body of the People's Market (4-6 people) look the items over and make a decision. We are pleased to say that the market is getting quite full and is now looking for a variety of unique items to add to the mix.

***In the above picture one of our artisans is painting a slate...could it be Crossroad the Clown? You just never know what you will find when you come in the People's Market...a clown...a spinner...a needle felter?
