AT THE MARKET:
I'll be a bit sparse on flowers at the market this weekend. I'm between sunflower patches and the mixed flowers have just about had it due to the dry weather all year. I will, however, have the first of my little flowered gourds (mostly green), broom corn wreaths, swags, and stalks; my pumpkins on a stick, a few copies of The Witching Hour to get you in the mood for October, and maybe even my first dried flower wreath of the season. See ya at the markets!

AT THE MARKET:
This week I actually do have fresh-cut broomcorn with me (know I've been saying it for a couple weeks now, but I really did get a change to finally cut it this week). I'll also have my usual flower bouquets, a fresh batch of greeting cards, and a fresh batch of soap, including some seasonally appropriate ones. And if they orange up enough by the weekend, look for the first of my pumpkins on a stick!

AT THE MARKET:
Mixed flowers are starting to wane a bit (this drought certainly hasn't helped them at all this year), but I'll still have a few mixed bouquets on my table at the market this weekend. And I should have quite a few sunflower bunches, as one my patches exploded into bloom this week. I'll also have some more autumn broomcorn decor, and next week in Victor I'll have the first of my fresh cut broomcorn (it's ready, just haven't had a chance to get it cut yet). And the pumpkins on a stick are just starting to turn orange, so watch for those in the next couple of weeks!

So I'm officially done at the Cheshire Market for the season, but Canandaigua and Victor continue right through the end of October. I've got a few mixed flower bouquets and sunflower bunches (more than last week fortunately), and a little autumn decor. Also hoping to have my milk can of broomcorn by the stem as well from now on.
