DDP Beads
I will be back at market this Saturday with many new, original design pieces will make their debut throughout the summer!  The Saturday morning sunshine is my business partner as it generates radiant facets which captures the attention of many a passerby.  Chatting with new customers and familiar acquaintances is always a pleasure as they gaze at the unique handcrafted  sparkling creations.  Custom pieces and minor repair services are also available.  Although I participate in a number of craft fairs throughout the year, the Market continues as a favorite as it's a local gathering place with many return customers.  See you Saturday!

Matchbook Magnets

I will not be at the market this week, but plan on returning Saturday, July 13.  In the meantime, I will be busy making up some new magnets!  Although my dad’s vintage matchbook collection has been the incubator, I recently acquired a boxful of matchbooks and was thrilled to find it held some real gems.  I’ll be introducing them throughout the market season.  Email:  matchbookmagnets@yahoo.com  See you in July!  Cindy

Shooting Star Farm

Everyone is looking forward to a long 4th of July weekend. If you have visitors, bring them to the Market. It should be a beautiful day! We may be a little short on salad mix this week, but we'll have plenty of beautiful mini and full-sized heads of lettuce, as well as spinach. Look for lots of broccoli and sugar snap peas, too. Many of you prefer the old fashioned shelling peas to the sugar snaps, and we'll have plenty this week. Other items include beets, Swiss chard, zucchini and summer squash, kale, green cabbage, kohlrabi, mini white or purple onions, scallions, baby leeks, parsley, cilantro, basil, and rhubarb. See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

Starlily Degisn

I am STARLILY  Design. I create Cuddly baby Quilties. Sewn from Flannel and backed with Fleece, I call them Quilties because they are smaller for babies and toddlers. They're colorful, soft and comforting. They are also wonderful lap blankets for older people because they're not heavy or unwieldy, they are bright, warm and cozy. Machine wash and dry, easy care. I also make Pot Holders, from bright cheerful cotton fabrics. The larger size is for bigger pans and the smaller ones work well for casserole dishes or for Coasters under your coffee cup. They are lined with a thermal batting for heat resistance. All are machine wash and dry. I've been sewing since childhood, I love color and texture, creating something useful and fun is important to me. I hope to see you at the Market in June!  Alice Raymer
