Market Maven: Market Treats, Tomato Tricks
Since I spend a good deal of time at the Market each week, I love it when new vendors pop up. And last week there were at least a couple that I had never seen before. Right next to us was a little gem called Cobenick Studios. They have all sorts of leather books and journals that I was astonished to learn are entirely handmade and bound. They are also quite affordable. The leather is hand-tooled and hand-dyed, or painted. The filler paper is also handmade; you can learn more about that at their Website. They also do wedding invitations that are stunning.
I stopped in to visit Ale’s House Peruvian this week as well. They have the cutest little things. And by little, I mean miniature. I’ve always loved miniature things; doesn’t everyone? There are little tiny houses made out of organic things like trees and gourds. There are tiny people in the tiny houses who are doing tiny things. It’s all just so magnificently tiny and cute.
I would tell you about the gorgeous cherry tomatoes that I got this week and how great they were, but I can’t because I didn’t get any! My kids ate them ALL while we were still at the Market. I would consider that a ringing endorsement, but I sure wish I could have had a couple. I guess I’ll have to try again next week.
Until next time. See you at the Market!

Cobenick Studios is awesome. Daniel Colvin, the owner, also has another business, an Art Gallery, a few doors down from the studio. We are the In-House Catering Company, that provides the food for his monthly artist exhibitions on the the 3rd saturday of the month. I has actually turned into a gallery hop, of sorts, comparable to the Short North. You should check out this monthly event, as well as our skills, as Columbus Caterers. Next one is THIS sat. 8/21/20! See you there!
