Bradford Farmer's Market.

It was a rather pleasant day at the Farmer's Market this morning. Gray clouds threatened overhead, but the crowd didn't seem deterred. Lots of folks were out and about looking at all the lovely fresh produce and baked goods. The sun finally made an appearance right around noon and traffic picked up a bit.

Truly a great selection and competitive prices too! (I can't resist Mary's baked goods. mmmm... chocolate and peanut butter. Pistachio bread too!)

Most of the vendors are local. They make and sell things as a hobby or to earn a few extra dollars that our grandma's would have called "pin money".  Many have been there for years, although this is it's first year in the present location. I'm told that in years past the Bradford Farmer's Market was downtown in the historic district. Nice location, but not much room for growth.

This week I met a couple new vendors with great ideas.
One was selling chairs made out of pallets. Another was selling re-purposed chairs as planters (gorgeous - really... you have to see them to believe). Very original. Check her out at Charming Gardens in Bradford, PA.

Here's a closer look at the larger of the birdhouse gourds pictured above. It took about three days to finish. (work on it for a while....walk away...) So glad it found a new home.

Y'all have a great evening. ttfn
