So…here is some excitement!! Tomorrow, in the YMCA lobby, we will have Herr Family Farms set up with all of their fresh orchard peaches!

The Herrs are vendors for me at the Mechanicsburg Farmers and Artisans Market. We would like to see them join our virtual market family, they have a HUGE abundance of peaches, both white, and yellow, and we have invited them to join us, tomorrow, to sell peaches!!

If you are a customer with an order, come early to make sure you don’t miss out. Bring extra cash as they will be operating on their own, and NOT through our system with the YMCA. If you did not place a weekly order, make sure to get to the lobby to get your peaches!

I can tell you that I have purchased their peaches for the past two weeks and they are THE BEST!!!

So, make plans to storm the lobby, tomorrow, at order pick up. Grab your market orders, and/or, get in line for your fresh peaches!

You will thank us, always…they are THAT good!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Peaceful, Easy Feeling

‘Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling…
And I know you won’t let me down…
‘Cause I’m already standing…
On the ground…

Hello, little local market of love customers!! Your market manager is finally seeing the light of day now that all of Art Affair On The Square has been put away for the year!! It is unbelievable just how much work goes into that event, over the months beginning in December, and then escalating to mad proportions, all of July.

My time has been scarce, I didn’t have as much time to write this Weblog, or connect with my people, or, well, have anything resembling a life. But, I love it. I love what the event brings to the community, and I love making things happen.

Last week found me catching up on much needed sleep, laundry, and all things mundane. This week found me catching up on all things with my business, and my friends. My friends are the first that I have to part from in my busy times. But, they are also the first to understand, to text me good luck, to bring me coffee, wine, food, a hug. My friends and family are totally neglected during Art Affair.

But, now, this week, found me meeting pals out for drinks, planning dinners, making wine/champagne dates…just what I love to do in my down time. I finally am regaining that peaceful, easy feeling.

And, I am happy to be totally back on this market. I miss the daily interactions, I missed writing this Weblog, and I miss my vending people/customers.

So, I am back, I NEED time to get my own order in, and so while I am going through the market, you, the lovely customers get until 10:30 to still get YOUR orders in!!

Come on…get that peaceful easy feeling that we all get when we place an order.

We make shopping, fun, affordable, pleasant, local, and full of nutrition!

Show us some LOVE, and we will show you that peaceful, easy feeling…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken…
Perhaps they’re better left unsung…
I don’t know, don’t really care…
Let there be songs to fill the air..

There are some weeks that just need a soothing hand, kind words, a thoughtful approach, and a smile of kindness. This was one of those weeks for your market manager.

This past week just put me in line with a lot of people and situations that are not about the love, or the like, or the peace, or the good vibes. I have felt rattled trying to deal with this type of person or this type of mindset.

I like happiness, and smiles, and love…I do very well with everyone being kind, everyone being compassionate.

I don’t do well with mean actions, or mean comments, or general bashing of others who are out there, trying to work their love, trying to bring their joy, trying to make it all happen.

So, when these types of week happen, and, thankfully, they don’t happen often, I find refuge in music, in good hearts, and in good people. And, I find solace in this little local market of love.

Tonight found me with the lovely vendors, the amazing customers, and the always cheerful staff of the YMCA. I immediately feel like I have entered my happiness when I am setting up the market, chatting with each vendor, and then greeting customers. This little market feels that way because we nurture it to be that way.

I needed to be with my people, tonight…my ever positive, ever loyal, ever lovers of local!! Together, we bring the smiles, the joy, and the kindness…

Ease into the weekend, think about all that our market has to offer, and think how much better your upcoming week will be when you place your orders with us, and we fill you with love…local love.

The market is now open for the week…take advantage of the seasonal items before they are gone!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

The Righteous Brothers)

Don’t let the time or the love slip away, tonight! You have until 10pm to get those orders in!! Get the seasonal goods while you can!!

Let us bring back that lovin’ feeling in your weekly shopping for good food, local food, from right here in your community, supporting local growers, and producers, and feeling good about supporting your local economy.

It’s what the lovin’ feeling is all about…spreading the local love.

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
