At the Markets

At both markets, we sold dish cloths, phone socks and mahjong bags.  We want to thank everyone who had stopped at our table and took business cards, as well.  It was nice seeing so many people coming outside-- despite the hot temperatures we've been having this Summer.  We hope to see you all next Thursday and Saturday at Damascus High School and also at the Main Street Pavilion in the Kentlands.

We are planning to start knitting more soap socks tomorrow afternoon.  If anyone is interested in purchasing a few, please send an e-mail with the exact shade of colors and sizes.  Since we use cotton yarn, some of the skeins of yarn are variegated and we can not guarantee how the pattern will turn out once the soap sock is completed.


Well, this is all for right now.  More knitting news to come soon.

Well, I know it's been a few days since I had the chance to just sit down and do some posting.  I plan to try and do a few postings at least once or twice a week.

Pictures for July 2012 (Fotos para julio 2012)

Hello everyone!  I hope that the weekend has been going well for you.
Hola a todos. Espero que el fin de semana haya ido bien para vosotros.

On the way to yesterday's market, in the Kentlands area, there was a family of deer walking on the side walk!  I wish I had the chance to take their picture so it could've been added in for this posting, but that's okay.  If I see them again next Saturday, I will try and get a picture.  The fawn still had its spots.
De camino al mercado de ayer, en el área de Kentlands, había una familia de ciervos andando en el lado del camino. Desearía haber tener la oportunidad de tomar algunos fotos, así hubieran sido añadidas en esta actualización, pero está bien. Si les veo de nuevo el próximo sábado, intentaré tomar alguna foto. El cervatillo aún tenía sus manchas.

At the market, there were a lot of customers.  It was great seeing so many people coming to the market even with the odd weather that had been coming all day.
En el mercado, había muchos clientes. Era genial ver a tanta gente viniendo al mercado a pesar del tiempo tan extraño que tuvimos todo el día.

Here are two pictures I had taken at yesterday's Farmer's Market held at the Kentlands.  In the second picture, there is a variegated Soap Sock hanging on the Mind, Body & Salt table along with their soaps as a display.  One of the Soap Socks got sold!
Aquí tenéis dos fotos que tomé ayer en el merado de granjeros ubicado en Kentlands. En la segunda foto, hay un calcetín de jabón jaspeado colgado en la mesa de Mente, Cuerpo y Sal junto con sus jabones como una muestra. Uno de esos calcetines para jabón fue vendido.

Speaking of markets, we had another band perform at the Kentlands Farmer's Market on Saturday.  Here's a picture that had been taken that we thought you'd like to see.  It's the band on the grassy part of the area near a few of the Vendors.  The band was really great!
