A Morning at the Farmers' Market

Saturday mornings find me at the Shelburne Farmers' Market in Shelburne, Vermont. This is my second year there, and I love this market (I'll post some pics later). What surprises me each week is what sells or doesn't sell, and I have to say my sales pattern seems a little odd. The market starts at 9AM, and I seldom sell anything before 10AM, sometimes 11AM. Busy time for me is 11:30 to 12:30 or closing at 1pm.
Here are some pics of what sold this week:

Also some headbands, which I never bother to photograph. The yo yo block was sold as a quilt for a doll bed!

So, more on life at the farmers' market another time.

The Bobbin, Burlington Vermont

Do you want to learn to sew (even just for one project) or need use of a sewing machine? If you live in the Greater Burlington area, The Bobbin is the place it's at. Here you can rent time at the sew bar or take classes or private instruction, or come in for group time with like minded crafters. Upcoming classes include sewing basics, t-shirt transformation, and a wonderful class by my wonderful daughter, designer Rebecca Mack, in how to alter clothing, particularly thrift shop finds.
The Bobbin is located in the Old North end, and you can visit them online at www.thebobbin.com
