September 18, 2011 Recap

On a Clover Sunday, the day begins before dawn in an a quiet, empty parking lot.  Seller spots are carefully marked off in chalk, cones and barricades are set out, and I savor a last few minutes of calm before our sellers arrive to load in.  This is how the parking lot looked at around 7 am that day:

Soon, the sun had come up and gifted us with a clear blue September sky and just a hint of crisp in the air.  It was a beautiful backdrop and as our sellers carefully unpacked and set up their tents.   There's always a palpable buzz of excitement during this time after so much careful planning and hard work.  Sooner than we know it, it's opening time and the buyers arrive.

In these early hours, we unleashed the lovely Carrie Hill from Carrie Hill Photography to capture some of the amazing items for sale that day.  I could go on and on about the creativity and talent on display, but instead, I'll let her beautiful images speak for themselves.

If this montage has whet your appetite and you'd like to see more, I've also posted some of the photos that I snapped during the day on the Facebook page here.  I'm not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination,  but I think there are some pretty nice ones in the bunch.

Our next fall Market on October 16th looks to be another blockbuster.  We have over 70 individual sellers (10 of whom are participating for the first time), our largest Market to date.  We will be filled to the brim in the Municipal Parking lot AND on Cricket Terrace (which will be closed to all traffic from S. Cricket Terrace east on Cricket all the way to Rittenhouse Place).  

In the coming weeks, I will be getting more Seller Profiles posted, so I hope you'll check back here often  for more fun details about this amazingly talented group.

Hope to see you soon at the Market!
