AT THE MARKET:
So the main flower makeup of my market bouquets this week is lilies! I might even have a few stray sunflowers to add in for this weekend's Canandaigua market. And if the weather is warm enough, I might have enough sunflowers to make a full bunch for Monday's Cheshire market, or next Wednesday's Victor market.

AT THE MARKET:
Had a gorgeous day to start the Victor market yesterday! Hoping for one as nice for Canandaigua this weekend. It's still early in the season, so I don't have a lot of flowers yet, but I'll have a few bouquets, along with my beeswax tapers and catnip. And might even have some peony bouquets in time for next Wednesday's Victor market. Fingers crossed!
