I was strolling through UWF campus today and have been sad about missing the Farmer's Market even though I didn't know when it was, I just knew I would miss it. Lo and behold, the Market was right in front of my eyes! It was rather small, but that's ok. I bought some organic(probably mislabeled, most likely just locally grown) eggplants for 2.50 and the farmer dropped a raddish root in my bag as a gift. How sah-weet! Walking by the vendors, I noticed something crazily familiar- xoElle from etsy.com was there! I felt slightly star struck and wanted to talk to her for hours but didn't. I liked that there was a fellow Etsian in my presence who has had a little bit of publicitiy. Anywho, I didn't buy anything but remember blogging about her in my wedding blog when I had considered making bow ties for my groomsmen.
Apparantly these farmers and artisans have been participating in the Port City Market. Now I want to join! It's every Saturday from 8am to 2pm which is perfect for my schedule at Tokyo. Albeit early, I love these little things. The rent is $15/day which kind of discourages me, but at the same time, you can't have the Willy Nilly from next door selling their junk. Anywho, once I'm back from my honeymoon, you bet I'll be tapping into that. For the time being, I don't think I'll be creating my local market since there is one at the moment. Plus, it'll give me an opportunity to learn a little bit and organize my thoughts. I love organizing events, I'm just a little frazzled by it.
