Feeling Stronger Every Day

And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do believe I’m feelin’ stronger every day…
(Feeling Stronger Every Day-Chicago)

Feeling the grooviness of the sounds of Chicago, this morning…and, the perfect summary of my feelings about this market. It just keeps rolling, getting stronger and stronger, building up with vendors, product, customers, and amazingness!

Today is Tuesday, the market closes at 6am, tomorrow, and we want you to join in the fun of making this market stronger and stronger…

Go ahead…dig out those old Chicago tunes, and get your Tuesday vibe action…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Just Another Thursday Evening...

…nothing special. Just opening up the market, after a crazy busy week. But, as crazy as the weeks are, for me, I always love Thursdays. Thursdays are my zen day. I bake, and make soups, and get orders organized, and make sure all reports have been submitted, all while making sure everyone with orders have been alerted, or reminded, to grab their orders on Thursday evenings.

But, once I get to the market, make sure products are delivered, vendor checks have been distributed, I’ve checked in with the Y, for any updates…I can then just be one with my people.

I love the chatting, I love asking each of you how you are, how your week is going…many of you, I feel, have been with me for so very long, that we are family.

This market…the weekly vibe of me writing to you. The craziness of keeping it all going. The loveliness of it when I open it up for order pickup, and then ending my Thursdays, coming to you, live, after reopening the market…it’s a love, a thankfulness, and a gratitude that I cannot explain.

Just another Thursday night, maybe…but for me, it’s a Thursday night of market love…

Go ahead…feel free to throw us some Thursday night love.

And, as always, we thank you, kindly…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

California Sun

Well I’m going out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
Where I’ll walk
And they walk
I’ll twist
And they twist
And I’ll shimmy
And they shimmy
And I’ll fly
And they fly
Where they’re out there having fun
In the warm California sun
Well, I’m going out west
Out on the coast
Where the California girls
Are really the most
And I’ll walk
And they walk
I’ll twist…
(The Rivieras – California Sun)

Go ahead…look out at that bright sunshine, and just try not to blast this song, start to boogie down, shake your groove thing, and just get so excited that we have sunshine, we are warming up, all week, and it’s time for light hearted music!

This song has been covered many times since it’s 1961 inception, with my favorite cover having been done by The Ramones. But, even though I groove to the hippie beat, I was a club kid, and heavily into the alt/punk scene of the early 80s…

So many different versions of one song, a little something for everyone, just like this little market.

We offer such a large variety, something for everyone, because we all have our own likes, dislikes, needs, wants…we all groove to our own beat, and we’ve got ALL the grooviness for you!!

The market is open until 6am, Wednesday morning!! Why not start the week with placing your orders. Groove it out, market babes…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

It’s Saturday Night!

Do you have your market orders in?

It’s rainy, the Elite Eight are playing, the night is perfect to also work on your orders, while the evening sets in…

While I watch the games, I’m also watching the market!

Throw us some love for the win!

XOXO,

Over The Hills and Far Away

Hey lady, you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough
Oh darling, darling, darling
Walk a while with me
Ohh, you’ve got so much, so much, so much

Many have I loved, and many times been bitten
Many times I’ve gazed along the open road

Many times I’ve lied, and many times I’ve listened
Many times I’ve wondered how much there is to know

Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings
I live for my dream, and a pocket full of gold

Mellow is the man who knows what he’s been missing
Many, many men can’t see the open road

Many is a word that only leaves you guessing
Guessing ’bout a thing you really ought to know, oh, oh, oh, oh
Really ought to know
I really ought to know
Oh
You know I should, you know I should, you know I should, you know I should?…
(Led Zeppelin)

So…the weather, today, was nothing short of spectacular. Could you feel the shift? The hints of warm, the nuances of the rebellion that spring days bring?

I remember my high school days, and the reckless abandon that these early spring days would bring. Taking off from school, jumping into all of the muscle cars, windows down, hitching a ride off to fun. Shedding flannel shirts and jeans for tshirts and cutoffs…blaring music, cruising in the local park where I grew up, tossing frisbees, blaring car stereos with Led Zeppelin, and gearing up for one heck of a spring/summer pocketful of gold…

Anyway, this weather has me recharged, ready to open the market for another week, and hoping that you are all catching the same spring vibe that I am…

Toss us some orders…and then just mellow out…let the sunshine vibes take over…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Hello, Sunshine Day!

Sing Me A Song

Give me a beat, rock my soul…you get the vibe!

Now, let’s get this grooviness started!

We are back, ready for your orders, and….
We are going back to our Wednesday morning closing time!

The Tuesday cut off was just not working, so Old Souls has given us the ok to go back to our closing time, BUT, instead of 8am, we will close the market at 6am, so all of you Tuesday night customers can still have the market open!

Now, all you need to do is get your orders in!

Go ahead…sing me a song…

XOXO,
Cosmic Charlie
