Mr. Blue Sky

Hey there Mr. Blue, we’re so pleased to be with you…
Look around see what you do…
Everybody smiles at you…
(Electric Light Orchestra – Mr. Blue Sky)

So, another totally amazing day!! I had the day free of any obligations or responsibility so I spent it, outside, giving some much needed love to my flower beds!! It was so nice to be in the breeze, the sunshine, the blue skies. Even weeding was pleasant. I flipped on the outside stereo and went about my day.

I did want to remind you that while I hope you have been able to take advantage of this lovely weather, I hope you have had time to place your market orders!! You have until 10pm, this evening, to get it all together!!

Placing your weekly order will make this sunshine day even brighter for you!!

Peace and Love,

Dancin' In The Moonlight, Part 2

One thing that I hate doing is listing items because while I want everyone to know our products and their reflections of the seasons, I always get ahead of myself and forget to list them all. We have such a vast array of products that it saddens me when I forget a shout out…

But…what would these cool weather mornings and evenings be without the warmth of coffee from our local coffee house, The Depot?

Also…the season is perfect for fish and late season produce and potatoes! Or a lovely trout spread for crackers and bread for evenings spent, outside, taking in the late day sun that disappears into the moon…

See…we have it all, just for you!!

We are your one stop, shop it all, stress free, affordable local market!!

Go, get your orders in, then go enjoy another beautiful evening…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Dancin' In The Moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight…
Everybody’s feeling warm and bright…
It’s such a fine and natural sight…
Everybody’s dancing in the moonlight…
(Dancing In The Moonlight-King Harvest)

First…have you all been enjoying this totally AMAZING weather? This is my favorite kind of weather. Like, if I could just bottle it up and have it year round, I would be so happy!

Second…did you SEE the amazing moon, last night?? I just propped up in a window and let myself be mesmerized by the beauty of it all. I am a lover of the different moons and last night just took my breath away.

So, of course, it brought to mind this song, the happy beat, the memories of my time living in California and going to Malibu beach parties and dancing the night away. This song, of course, would always be on the music agenda of the evening.

Good friends having good times…just like our little market of love. We have become a friendly little family, full of warmth, full of charm, full of beauty. Much like this amazing weather and beauty of the moon. We shine like the brightest sunshine, and then we dazzle like the moon…

We are in the middle of ushering in this fall season. As much as I cry and sob over the ending of summer seasons, I do fall in love, each year, with this tiny bit of perfection. The coloring, the warm days, the cool nights…and, as we celebrate the change, we also notice the shift in purchases at our market.

Apples, fall flavored baked goods, summer’s late produce, locally produced meats, dairy, seasonings and herbs for soups and stews, greens to toss in with fall dishes, dried beans for soup making, maple syrups for cool morning breakfasts, eggs for baking, a more intense scent to the soaps, granolas, flours…the last of the season’s berries..

The shift is happening…just like the shift in the sun, the shift in the moon…a natural progression. The best part is that your local, year round, online market can accommodate all of your needs just like we did all summer.

So, be happy, enjoy these days, enjoy the moon while we still have it in this stage, and dance…we can take care of the rest while you are enjoying!

It is Monday evening. Your market is open until tomorrow night at 10pm.

Dance over to us…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Good Vibrations!

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears..
And on the way this sunlight plays upon her hair…
I hear the sound of a gentle word…
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air…
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations..
(Beach Boys – Good Vibrations)

So, this market is ALL about the good vibrations!! The vendors, the customers, the sales, the YMCA…we all just vibe really well, and it totally shows!!

Yesterday, a friend of mine, who has been a friend of mine forever, Bill, posed a question to all of his music crazed friends, on Facebook. He asked, if we looked back in the history of rock and roll, what would we change on the face of that history. It has been so interesting reading the responses!

Anyway, the main vibe from that whole conversation was that we all have a music vibe, or a whatever vibe. There is something, in all of us, that stirs a passion, that makes us ecstatic, that opens us up and takes us on a new journey.

This song, Good Vibrations, just spoke to me, this evening, after closing the market. To some, The Beach Boys are all powdery, sugar sweet, Top 40. But, if you listen to very early Beach Boys, you find a different tone, like they had hoped to go down one path of music before they got packaged into the mainstream.

Good vibrations…we all have them, we all get them from whatever moves us, drives us, we all have different meanings, like in music tastes, but we all end up at the same point.

Good vibrations…the market, the season, the people…we all work on it, together, for the best vibes around!

This little local market gets it’s good vibrations, weekly. This week, as I open the market, I am excited to bring you a new vendor!!

Volk Fruit Farm!!!! Amazing and delicious fall apples!!!! They are a local fruit farm, they supply Dorothy Lane Market, and tonight, we welcome them to our market!!!

Apples, Autumn, Amazing market of all vendors, this little local market of love….Good Vibrations!

Have an amazing week, get to know our market, our vendors, and start your own good vibrations!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
