a happy customer

I ran into Kelly Sue Rioux, fellow Merchant Company vendor (she reworks found jewelry) and friendly face at the Local Sprouts Cooperative cafe, and was excited to see her in a pair of boots I had put in the shop several days before.  She looked so great - also sporting a perfect pair of vintage knickers (that I only wish I had sold her) and a vest she had screen-printed herself - that I just had to take her picture.  

I'm keen on the half-prairie, half-boxer styling of these boots... and glad they went to Kelly.

meet your cheese maker

This Sunday, October 9th, is the Maine Cheese Guild’s annual Open Creamery Day, which provides the opportunity for touring and tasting with fifteen participating cheese makers across the state.  As they recommend, the perfect day to pepper in stops at orchards and breweries (and for some of us, flea markets and thrift stores).  See their website for a map and details.
