| Greetings! |
Time to Get in Gear! 
I know. The rule of thumb is wait until after Memorial Day to plant your garden but with the beautiful weather we've been having, especially after the mild winter, means the time is NOW!
Come down to the Market this weekend for some beautiful hanging baskets, patio pots, annuals, perennials, and shrubs. Spice it up with some garden art and Summer, here we come!
Add us to your weekend plans. We're open Saturday and Sunday, 6:30am to 1:30 pm.
It's FUN! It's Local! It's what we're all about.
 Like us on Facebook and stay tuned for the details of our upcoming events.

Music at the Market with Steve Sullivan and the Factory
| |
Their latest studio releases - two full-length CDs titled I Did a Bad Thing and Love Is a Hit Parade - both hit the street on December 23, 2011.
Steve Sullivan was born in New Mexico in a wasteland railroad town on the dried up banks of the Rio Grande River. With the ghost of Billy The Kid hanging in the desert air, Sullivan started playing guitar, writing songs and recording at age twelve. To this day he has released five solo albums (available on iTunes). In 2010 he released the Steve Sullivan and the Factory debut, Last Night.

| Vendor Spotlight |  Pastamore
Confession time ~ I don't cook. I used to, but the kids are mostly gone and I don't care what I eat, so why bother? Well, Stuart (left) sent me home with some Honey Ginger Teriyaki Marinade last weekend and told me to just put it on some chicken and cook. Easy. And it's so good I've honestly had it 3 times this week! Visit Pastamore and find your new favorite. Yumm.
 Kass Winns brings you a fun assortment of products geared towards fishing enthusiasts and beginners alike. Need a way to tie the perfect knot for your fishing hook? The Knotter is the easiest and fastest way to do just that. Don't miss 'the ultimate beverage holder' with its 4 different attachments (suction cup, velcro, permanent mount, flip mount) that let you attach it anywhere ~ and people do! Bikes, boats, strollers, wheelchairs, motorcycles, fish houses ~ even your lawn chair. Kass Winns is here only occasionally so be sure to stop by this weekend.
Our own Game Time Treats Kettle Corn stands are at both the Annex and the northern side of the Market. Having a hard time deciding which is best ~ Kettle Corn, Cheddar flavored or Caramel Corn? Get all 3 in the Chicago Mix!

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Visit Our Coolers
We'd love to see YOU!
 Ok, so I am not a poet and I should probably keep my day job, but I wanted to get your attention to tell you about the beautiful roses that are in stock right now. We have all different colors ~ not just these red ones ~ so come down this weekend and get yours. Cheap, too! $10/dozen or $20 for 25. Nice.
NEXT WEEK the Peonies should be in... Here's a link to the list of bulk flowers you can count on getting from us: MF Bulk Flowers List But remember, that's not ALL we carry. You need to come see for yourself what special items we find for each week.
Know a bride or someone else needing flowers for an event? Visit the Market Flowers website for great information on our DIY program!

Morel Mushrooms for just a bit longer...
| 
We have some truly wonderful Morels in stock this week ~ but not for much longer!
We've enjoyed an early season but all good things must end, so don't miss your opportunity to pick up some of these tasty morsels for yourself.
You'll find them near the kettle corn stand on the north side of the Market this weekend. Space 403.
