Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken like the first morning…
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird….
Praise for the singing…
Praise for the morning…
Praise for them springing fresh from the world…
(Morning Has Broken-Cat Stevens)

Well, morning has definitely broken, I am sure it will be a groovy kind of day, and a perfect day to get your market orders in!

The market will close, this evening, at 10pm!! Don’t miss out on the market goodness, the chance to support all things local, and the amazing feeling you will get when you pick up your orders from the friendly faces of your market managers, instead of fighting the crowds at the grocery.

Go ahead…thank me always…order!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Holiday Express!

And…a few details about the upcoming market weeks during the Christmas/New Year span of weeks.

With both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve falling on a Thursday, this year, your market managers have decided that we will not hold markets on either week.

BUT…we do encourage you to get with any vendors you may need during the holiday hiatus. Let them know what you need or want, and, as in years past, set up a mutually agreed on time and place for order pick up. Again, this will be done between you and the vendor.

I will open the market back up for the new year…what? 2016?…on New Year’s Eve, and normal market hours will resume that week.

Thanks so much!! Plan ahead!!

Last Christmas

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart…
But the very next day, you gave it away…
This year, to save me from tears…
I’ll give it to someone special…
(Last Christmas-Wham!)

As a mall rat of the 1980s, working retail during the holiday seasons, this song was always embedded in my brain, each year. I worked in retail during high school, college, and a bit, on the side, in Westwood, CA, when I was a flight attendant.

Back then, nothing Christmas started until after Thanksgiving. The magic of the season started with the sparkly mall decorations, the arrival of Santa, the crowds of shoppers, and the music soundtracks of the shops.

I was a Casual Corner mall rat. Versed in sales, customer files, trunk shows, style shows. Customer service was our highest goal. The minute I would say goodbye to my last final exam, I would hit the road, arrive home in the West End, and immediately transform myself from college girl, hippie girl, to super sales girl…all shiny and bright!

I loved the Christmas crowds, the hustle of the season, hooking up with old friends, rushing to lunches with fellow mall rat friends. I loved the excitement of shopping for my own gift list. Back then, it was just so much fun. The choices were fewer, the shops so special, and the fun was all about finding the perfect gift for both my own gift list or the gift list of those shopping from me.

This is how I feel about our own little market of LOVE…how special would it be to give your loved ones the gift of a local gift set, local products or local baked goods, or gift certificates to our own market, or from some of our vendors who have shop fronts? And, we even make it so easy by having tastings, and shopping, right in the lobby of the YMCA, each Thursday night, during market pick up time!!

Once again, on Thursday, we will bring you…Women That Farm, Mad Sweet Heat, and End Of The Road!!

Sadly, this will be the last market, for the season, for End Of The Road Farms. They are now just about done for the season, and need to concentrate on the farm, butchering, and working on their own ventures. We will see them, again, next spring!!! So, make sure to take advantage of the tastings and the shopping, this Thursday!!

The market is open, the morning is cold and frosty…why not take time with a warm drink to place your orders. Think about how easy it is to order, do all of your shopping, and pick it up from us with no hassle, all smiles, and all local…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
