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!

AT THE MARKET:
Last winter market of the season is this Saturday, and then in two weeks (June 3rd), we're back under the pavilion and summer market begins! I think my flowers are probably already sold for this week (unless I miraculously end up with extra), but I'll have some more beeswax candles, and a few Star Wars soaps with me this week. And then we'll just hope the flowers "ripen up" for the start of the summer market in two weeks!
