Music at the Market with the Dean Harrington Trio

Hot Club Jazz, Gypsy Jazz, and Jazz Manouche are all terms that describe this style of music that mixes American jazz standards from the 1920s-1940s and European gypsy folk music.

Dean Harrington Trio plays guitar driven music in the style of the great French gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt. They also play traditional jazz standards and Latin jazz.

Available for your next corporate or private event!

Vendor Spotlight

Bob Jensen and George Scott have been turning wood into beautiful things for over 30 years and they have been mainstays this year on Sundays in the Craftsmen Corner section of our Market. They will tell you they specialize in things that please them to make, and if others happen to want them, too, then that's a bonus. They have their work in five galleries and stores but say they love being here at the Annex the most. We can't have 'favorite' vendors anymore than a parent can have a favorite child, but I can say they're my favorite woodworkers! Fun to visit and tease, that's my Bob and George. ♥ (Special Treat! They're here Saturday this week as well. Look for them in the center of the Market!)

Southwind Treasures is here this weekend and for scattered weeks here and there this season, so whether you're a long time customer or a newbie to their hand-dyed clothing, you'll want to stop by and find that special item that's calling your name. Their friendly smiles and easy conversation make your buying experience that much better ~ only the best from Southwind Treasures!

Market Flowers

Peonies are pink
Peonies are white

Come get an armful

Before they're out of sight!

Peonies

Marginally better than my last poem, but still not quite up to par? I know, but I just had to try again. :o)

Well, as you may have gathered the peonies are now in stock! Unfortunately, they've endured a hard growing season which limits their supply. They won't be here for very long at all ~ so when we say come and get yours, we're serious!

Market Flowers is open Thursday and Friday 9am - 3pm, Saturday and Sunday 7am - 1pm

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.
