Market Maven: Love, Love, Love
I love special sample days at the Market! Love, love, love them! Regular Market days are already festive, with all of the people, food and cheer. But on sample day, there is definitely some magic in the air. Sugardaddy’s Sumptuous Sweeties sponsored Strawberry Day on Tuesday and it was heavenly. Sugardaddy’s had samples of their strawberry blondies; and if you’ve ever had Sugardaddy’s, then you know that they are legendary. The strawberry blondies were delicious.
There were other notable samples; one in particular turned my eye. Now, normally I’m a “safe” eater. I don’t try many new things (aside from those purple green beans a few weeks ago). I stick to the staples like cheese and… chocolate. On Tuesday, however, I felt it was my duty to try strawberry salsa. And you know what? I could totally sit and eat a bowl of that with some chips.
Also, this week at the Market, I finally stopped by Poppin’ Time Kettle Corn. I never knew I liked kettle corn until last year at the Market when they reeled me in with their free samples. Theirs is one of the most enticing smells wafting lazily down the alley. My last favorite stop this week was at Salaam’s Caravan Fragrances. I love exotic fragrances and this is the place to get them. There are so many options and ways to use the oils, once you narrow down your choices. I put a few drops of oil into the water beads I bought last week and now they are an amazing looking air freshener.
Come see us next week at the Market and find some treasures for yourself!
