I had someone request the rest of the Gimli costume, so I went ahead and posted all the remaining Gimli costume tutorials, instead of spreading them out over several weeks. So you get 3 costume how-to's this week. Hope you all enjoy.

This is a pepakura tutorial guest filmed and narrated (mostly) by my brother (he's not used to doing this for film, so it got a little long).

AT THE MARKET:
The Victor market is officially done for the season, but there's one more Canandaigua market under the pavilion this Saturday (and then we move to the parking lot behind the Byrne dairy the first week in November for the winter market). If it doesn't freeze, I might still have a few flowers, though they're slow to open in the cold weather, so might not be enough to do anything with. I'll also have a fresh batch of beeswax tapers, pumpkins on a stick, flowered gourds and the last of my bittersweet cutting. And since it's the Saturday before Halloween, I'll probably be in costume!

Canandaigua Farmers Market:
Saturdays, 8:30am-12:30pm, June-October
Under the Mill Street Pavilion

AT THE MARKET:
I should actually have a fairly decent flower spread at the Canandaigua market this weekend. My late patch is finally coming into bloom, and with the rain and warm weather combo we've been having, they're popping open nicely. And I'll have some more flowered gourds, bittersweet, pumpkins on a stick, and broom corn wreaths and swags. Also next Wednesday, the 26th is the final Victor market of the season and if it doesn't freeze between now and then, I should still have a nice spread of sunflowers. So grab a final Victor sunflower bunch, and bring the kids down in their costumes to trick or treat at the vendor tables...I'll be the one dressed as Princess Leia!

AT THE MARKET:
Flowers are probably still a going to be a bit sparse this weekend. I'm hoping those last few patches of sunflowers kick in, and maybe pop the daliahs with the cooler weather, but with it being so dry, I don't know if they'll amount to much. So in their absense, I've had a bit more time to work on autumn decor. Look for broom corn wreaths and swags, flowered gourds, pumpkins on a stick, a fresh batch of beeswax tapers, and maybe a few halved/peeled squash.
