AT THE MARKET:
The lilies are starting to come into bloom, so I should have plenty of those in this weekend's bouquets. And at this point, it looks like I might even have enough bouquets this weekend to have a few left on my table for Saturday morning (not all presold yet), so get there early. And then I'm hoping to have a new batch of Star Wars soap done in time for Wednesday's Victor market.

AT THE MARKET:
I might still have a few peonies for this Saturday's Canandaigua market. It got so hot over the weekend, they've all bloomed out faster than they usually would. I don't think I'll have any left for next week's Victor market, however, I think I might have some lilies starting to fill my bouquets then.

AT THE MARKET:
I'll have a few flower bouquets at the market this Saturday (looks like the peonies are gonna be coming on, so look for a few of them in this week's bouquets!). Also have some beeswax tapers and a fresh batch of catnip. Then for Victor market next Wednesday, the predicted hot weather should pop a bunch of peonies by then for the bouquets.

AT THE MARKET:
Market season starts this week! Starting Saturday with the Canandaigua market. It's early in the season, so I don't have many flowers yet, but there should be a few lupines and some iris out there by the weekend. So I should have at least a couple bouquets with me this weekend. And if the weather warms up at all, hopefully a few more by Wednesday for Victor. See ya there!
