Trios of my Christmas Gnomes

for this week’s Thursday Trios

Last week and this week has been super busy for me. I was burning the midnight oil to finish making my gnomes for the Holiday Market on Dec. 10th. I also assembled over 100 new photo cards. The actual market was a little disappointing because the bad weather kept a lot of people home, so the attendance was low. Despite that I did make sales that day and since then I’ve sold more cards and most of my gnomes.

Fall Festival at the Inn

last week at Montgomery’s Inn

After we finished baking bread for the Farmers’ Market last Wednesday the outdoor wood burning oven was prepared for roasting corn for the Fall Festival. Luckily we had a number of new volunteers and staff who took over the tasks of roasting and selling the corn.

The market was bustling with activity and in the park a band was playing and pop up vendors were selling their wares. I enjoyed talking with these new vendors and I even bought a few things.

Easter at the Market This Week

…special bread and extra vendors

This week we brought out a recipe for bread that we haven’t made in several years….Timbit Paske. We slightly altered our fruit bread and added four Timbits when we shaped the dough.

There certainly was a lot of interest in this bread and it was mostly sold when I left the market an hour after the market opened.

Along with the regular vendors we had a few new merchants with special treats for Easter.

Making and Selling Bread

…every week at Montgomery’s Inn

Every Wednesday I volunteer at the Inn making bread that is sold at the Farmers’ Market. On Tuesday I go in and prep the dough that proofs overnight in the fridge. Wednesday morning we shape the dough, heat up the outdoor wood burning oven and bake 40 to 75 loaves of bread.
