Songs In The Key Of Life

The album of the great Stevie Wonder, and also, summing up this past week, past few weeks.

The key of life. The rhythm, the why, the mysterious, the journey…

If January was bliss, and ease, and colliding into the loveliness of the new year, February has seemed a year long, already. A challenge. A constant eye roll…the key of life, and all that is wrapped into our day to day.

When things get heavy, or when you feel your most crazy, why not make it easier with ordering from our little local market of love? It eases your load, and it lets us, your vendors, show you how amazing this market is!

Go ahead…you all have been really giving the love to this market, since after our holiday break. Continue to heap it on, because the month is young, and we all could use a little dose of love to get us through…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Love Note

Hello, February, Hello, Love...Market Love

Happy Sunday, everyone!!

Well, so far, we are now into the month of February, the ground hog has told us it will be an early spring, it’s Super Bowl Sunday, and it’s also an excellent day to get your market orders on the groove line!

I’m drinking coffee, listening to tunes, and one of my favorite Elvis Costello songs popped on. One of the lines of the song was perfect for our month of love…

“I’m not going to get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines…”
Elvis Costello-Alison

While we love celebrating this month of love, we like to think that every month, every week, is like getting a local dose of love when you order from us!

Since reopening the market for the new year, you, the customers have been throwing that love, our way, and we are so very grateful!! We are adding more and more new customers, saying hello to returning customers, and seeing all of our loyal weekly customers, continuing the market way of life!

Keep it coming, love…Keep it coming…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Speaking Of Love

A love note from The Barkery!

New product for your furry friends!

My PUP cakes are RED VELVET cake made with carob powder/beets and strawberries to make it red, the icing is cream cheese and greek yogurt with a bit of corn starch.

The Month Of Love!

Full speed ahead, smashing right into the loveliest lovely month of them all…February!!

I know, it all drabby drab winter, but at the heart and soul of the month, we have romance, songs, and the hope of love…

Well, what better way to usher in the month of love, the weeks of love, into this little local market of love, than with a love ballad…

Let’s kick this month off with a favorite. The song, the back story, all parties involved…

Layla…Eric Clapton wrote one of the most famous classic rock love songs for Pattie Boyd, who at the time was married to Clapton’s pal George Harrison. It was the title song of one of the three albums Clapton recorded as Derek and the Dominoes. The song title was inspired by a 12th-century poem about a woman (named Layla) and her unrequited love. It appears on the 1970 album “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.”

I love a good rock love song with my idol in the middle of a love triangle between two of the world’s leading men of music…

Anyway, let’s turn all of these love vibes to our market. Let’s just flood this market with all the love you can give us…

We open the market, tonight, with much love for you, our customers, and we hope to see much of you…all month.

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Happy Tuesday!

Good morning little local market of love vendors!

Just a reminder that it’s Tuesday, and it’s time to get all of your market orders in! And, we have a new farm joining the market, this week!

They are delightful, and have provided me with a write up for you to read!

We have lived in Champaign County for 24 years and raised our family here. Our farm is on 5 acres between Mechanicsburg and Urbana. We grow our flowers, vegetables and fruit with organic methods but are not certified as organic.

We grow a variety of produce and cut flowers and will have market bouquets and produce for the 2020 season. I love growing things and hope you will enjoy what we have to offer.

I also have handmade fabric tote bags for sale to carry your market goodies or groceries home in style!

Welcome to the market!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Shining Star

Honey, you are my shining star…
(The Manhattans)

This market, our vendors, our customers, the YMCA, the amazing product…

ALL of this, all shining stars! And, without you, our star would not be shining as brightly as it is now.

As your market manager, I want to thank you, all of you, for helping to make this market the success that it is, each week.

I am opening up for the week, and encouraging everyone to get their orders in, try us for the first time, or, return to us, if you’ve been gone. You will learn what our weekly customers already know…that this market is nothing but a shining star…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

The Weight

Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it’s time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she’s the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone…
(Putting the grooviness of, The Band, into your day…)

And, while you are searching your playlists to get this song implant into your morning, don’t forget to get your orders in for the market!!

We close, for the week, tomorrow, at 6am, and you don’t want to miss out on all that we have to offer, to get you through the weight of these cold, cold days.

Also, we welcome a new vendor, Karen’s Heavenly Fudge!! She just got her listings up and running, so if you would like to indulge…she’s got it all for you!!

Have a great day, put some music into your step, and groove the market…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Mr. Tambourine Man

Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship…

Putting a little bit of Dylan into your Sunday morning, and, with this cold day, I am going to settle in to practice with all of my musical instruments. And, I am sure of no surprise, one of those is a tambourine…

Anyway, getting on with this market, this cold day, and the fact that you have a whole Sunday at your fingertips, why not use the time to place your orders?

And…to warm your soul, your market manager has updated all quantities of Cosmic soups! I must have been lulled into the long vacation we took from the market, over the holidays, and I never checked that I was out of all soups!

Anyway…so much to offer on this market, but you first must order to get to enjoy it all…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

A Day In The Life

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late…
(A Day In The Life-The Beatles)

This lyric is pretty much summing up my day. From dusk to dawn, I felt like I was trying to keep tempo, keep my time, but with turn, I ran into a friend, or I took a phone call, or I got caught up in one thing or another, all the while baking for the market, planning for the market, and suddenly, after an amazing market, here I am, fresh off of a phone call with a dear, dear friend, more off duty market work, and here we are…I looked up, and noticed I was late to open…

So, my lovely customers, I bring you the market to start your week…I look forward to seeing your orders, and bringing you the love, once again…

A day in the life…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
