attendance has picked up every week, of both customers & vendors. we actually do a full count of people every week, and we’ve been averaging 200. last week was a little lighter, but farmers reported selling just as much as when there were more people– because we’re seeing consistent faces, and people are now coming not just to check it out but with the intention to actually shop… and the total sales of all vendors has been steady or growing each week, too.
kayt– come on back, the veggies are really in, as are many of the tree fruits!
I was just thinking the other day how lucky the two of you are to be happily involved in a creative relationship, making cool stuff together and alongside each other, always inspiring each other. Not to sound super-cheesy, which this does, but doesn’t everyone wish to have someone like that?
It’s as beautiful as what Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley had during the period when he wrote “Uptown Girl” and she discovered her passion for painting.
It sounds nice when you say it, Uncle Wendy… As much as I’d like to perpetuate the myth, it’s not like we hold hands while I blog and she does her design stuff though. In reality, when we’re working on projects, we do so in almost complete isolation from one another. Sometimes, I think we’d be closer if we didn’t do anything but just come home and watch TV.

These look fabulous!
I noticed those when we pulled in the other day, and immediatly thought they were amazing.
Very nice! Any idea how attendence has been? I haven’t been back since the first Tuesday, which was pretty light (when I was there).

Were the signs up on Saturday? I looked for them and didn’t see them.
Yes, I was there on Saturday and saw at least one of them. It was near the stairs that lead up to the Freighthouse.
