Old Town Market

Tweet

Today was my event at the Old Town Market in Tylertown. I managed to get up at 5:40, get dressed and feed the cats, followed by the chickens (who were actually awake with the sun trying to come up). I then changed clothes, put a bit of makeup on and grabbed a couple of things I needed to bring with me such as a snack and a bottle of water. Out the door at 6:15. Not too bad! I was shooting for 6 am, but wasn't off by far. I got to the Market at 7:15, which also wasn't too bad, as others were much later. I looked at the floor plan and saw that I had the same booth I was in last September. The only disappointment was the lady next to me in September was not at this event. BUT, she popped in around 9 am looking for ME! She had asked for a sample last Fall and loved it, so she came to get some makeup. We had twice the vendors at this event vs. last September. There were about the same flow of shoppers. I did better with sales last Fall, but I had more fun shopping today! There was a new vendor with plants and fruit trees!! She had great prices and I came home with 2 new peach trees! When I told hubby via chat that a new peach tree might be coming home with me, he said we were going to have to start cutting down trees to make room. NOT! So I bought TWO! They are both self pollinating varieties, so we should be good to go since these are both recommended for milder winters that we usually have in the South. I also bought a lotion for the hubby that is made from all natural based ingredients. It is used for all kinds of pain, including neuropothy. I'm anxious to see how it performs. I will be dipping into this tonight! There was a big variety of vendors there today. Food: Crackling, Freeze Dried Candy, Girl Scout Cookies, a food truck serving Mexican, cakes and desserts, jelly and pickled foods - three vendors with jellies. Arts and Crafts: Embroidery on sweatshirts, baby outfits, towels, etc., jewelry by several vendors, wood carvings on products and earrings, Health: all natural body butter vendor, all natural pain relief vendor, Nutriplus by Farmasi Beauty: Mary Kay and Farmasi Outside: Floral vendor, Someone with chickens--they were OLD biddies (ha!) and looked rough! She also sold eggs. Garage Sale booth, Shirts and hats with Christian themes, Insurance Agent, Balloon Artist. All in all it was a fun day! I'll be back next Saturday outdoors if weather permits!
