june market premier babyggear

OK, I just can't contain my excitement about june's market!!!  here is a new vendor - check out her fun and funky creations.  You'll find her and much more at market on 6/19 . . . see you there!

Here is a little bit about the creator of babyggear:  "When my son was born I fell in love with all things small. As he grew I naturally kept looking for clothes and toys that fit our style. But alas I couldn't find it. So I made it.



babyGgear is just that my baby Gauge's gear. It started out small with a few tie onesies and a couple sock monsters but has evolved into a shop full of goodies for boys, girls, newborns, infants and toddlers. And my new line just for baby Mama's."

it began in a garden

love to garden?  cottage style?  dream of climbing glories blooming in radiant colors?  look at these beauties for your yard. 

My great-grandmother's bureau

My great-grandmother was quite a woman!  Very strong-willed and opinionated, she was a staunch Democrat, a Physician's wife, a prominent woman in Bountiful Utah, a mother of six (four of whom lived to adulthood), She raised my mother from the age of eleven.  She died when I was six.

I recall a spotless house, a cocker spaniel by the name of Blondie, a parrot called Peter, a large, beautiful bungalow with a magical basement with a summer kitchen, a garden arbor, a garden swing and a garage attic full of wonders.

I used to lie in bed with her (she was frail and bedridden with a heart condition towards the end), and talk her leg off (imagine that!).  My mother tells me she adored me and used to give me little dresses and books.

Saturday we sold her dresser - my aunt brought it in for consignment and it was a bitter sweet parting.  It was a beautiful piece of furniture in the style of "blond waterfall and had been painted brown but it still retained Bakelite and brass handles and the stunning raised detail of the day.

So often, a customer will ask, what do you know about this piece, as they contemplate a purchase and so often I don't know much, but Barb, you have a piece of history now, a piece of our family and a piece of our hearts!

MARKET ROCKED THE HOUSE!

fresh catch of the day
