“What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to
humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's
pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.” ― Joseph Addison
Everywhere I turned there was laughter, good food
and beautiful handmade products. I was
energized by the liveliness at the market, scurrying around with my duties but
alas, able to take a few moments to snap a few photos and chat with vendors and
customers . I knew instantly I was among
friends. Our vendors work endlessly to
bring you beautiful products and it shows!
So, who was at the market Opening Day?
