Do you have any idea what time of year it is? Let me tell you - it is that time of year that you go into a panic about what to purchase for our Mothers! And Fathers! EGADS! Well don't panic- you know why - come to the art market on Saturday and let me introduce you to some of my friends. About 45 of 'em in fact!
The market artists are 100% locally grown, fair trade, organic, green, lean, mean and awesome!
From greeting cards to heavy metal - the best landscape paintings to the wildest abstracts- glass, ceramic, dichroic, silver and gold jewelry, pottery, purses to ponies. Seriously, stop by John Manes booth and ask him about his horses. All the attending artists and market vendors are listed online - check them out now!
