A Big Welcome to Pembroke Honey!

We added some honey to the market today. It is so "local" the bee's may have polinated the flowers out front! Yes the bee's live on Pembroke Lane with their bee keeper... Marjorie Pryse.

The packaging comes in an adorable bear shaped plastic squeeze bottle, glass bottles and plastic squeeze bottles...so pick your packaging. A little something for everyone.  More information to follow but we wanted to get this right out to the people who buy at The People's Market! Welcome Marjorie!

The People's Market cuts the ribbon!

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and the vendors gathered together to celebrate and commemorate the opening of the market. The chamber was there and the picture as well as an article will be featured in the August ChamberGram in the Ithaca Journal.
A picture will also be featured in the "Welcome" Magazine in Ithaca at the end of the summer. It will welcome people to town and let the new students and families in town know about our "gem" of a store!

The sweet life...of Jam that is!

One of the vendors wandered in this fine Saturday with a pile of wonderfully appealing newly made batch of Jam's. Strawberry which we all know and love but what do you think of Strawberry June berry Jam? June berry Jam? (We hear she had to wrestle a few squirrels and birds to get these scrumptious berries!) and last but not least Black and Black Jam (black berries and black raspberries)...are you hungry yet? Well stop in because this new batch is calling your name and has been added to the already appealing group of Mango, Papaya and Pineapple Jams already at The Market!

What's New?

Well, it was a beautiful Saturday, the sun was shining and photographer (and vendor!) Matthew Binkewicz stopped in to drop off a few new items. He replaced some things with a few canvas' he had recently created of the old Ludlowville school in Ludlowville. Gorgeous! Just Gorgeous! They won't be around long so stop in and appreciate these incredible photographs in color AND sepia!
He has been dabbling and has come up with some beautiful small framed color photos of his work. They are perfect little pictures that could be used as a great small gift. Almost like a shadow box picture...and reasonably priced at $9.95! (Yes, you CAN afford nice pieces of art at The Market!)
While here he also replaced a few of his paperweights pictures with new photos as well.

Remember to stop in because you just never know what you'll find by the various vendors! Nice work Matthew!

NEW Hours at The People's Market!

The People's Market has been feeling their way in order to find out how to best meet the needs of the local customers and  community in relation to our store hours. We have gotten a feel for the stores "traffic" and have changed our hours accordingly. In addition....Sunday we found was a day of  "rest" and people have not been visiting the store on Sundays. Having had a recent death in the family really makes you stop and take stock in things...we need to set aside time for family and have two consecutive days so we can travel to see aging family.
We will be CLOSED SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS. (Unless it is tax season...then there will be someone here on Sunday afternoons...most likely the accountant :-)  We will be open Tuesday through Friday 11-6 and Sat 10-5. Thank you for supporting our business.

***Actually you may be surprised to wander by on any given day and see the "OPEN" flag out front...it means the accountant in "in"!

Here comes the BRIDE...and GROOM!

Just a liitle felting going on!

 It was such a beautiful day that Carol Engels decided to felt out front of the People's Market today...she was wet felting a few alpaca felted soap bars that will be sold in the store. It was a perfect day for it with only a little WIND! :-) Totally worth it though because along came a friend and it became a wonderful bit of downtime enjoying good company and forced time to get some projects done. The Market was down to one soap bar so it was time!!!!

Tim Ingall joins The People's Market as our latest vendor!

 Tim lives in Lansing and creates one of a kind pieces of art from local driftwood. To each individual a different subject can be seen atop or nestled in the nook or cranny of a piece of driftwood. They have each been secured and have a beautiful shinny natural finish to complete each abstract pieces look. You need to see these beautiful pieces of art to appreciate them. They are real conversation pieces and add a nice touch to a coffee table or mantle. Come in and contemplate our latest addition to the Market!
