Me, MsB is the cranky assistant (not) :-) that runs the business side of things,networking,doing the sock tags,yarn ordering,kitchener stitching and more. MrB is studious,and is constantly cranking out new pairs of SOCKS Made on 88! Our story and my blog unfolds here... it all began Jan.3, 2012

A successful and fun day at the market today!

We are a market vendor at the Halifax Brewery Square. The HistoricFarmers' Market takes place in a 200 year or more old building. The character and architecture of this old building makes for a wonderful atmosphere as you stroll through looking at what all the vendors have to offer.

Today was our first time in this particular location. I have tried to capture of some the oldness of the building where we displayed today.
The floor is stone, and the walls are brick with very very high ceilings. It was cool to see the rain pounding the glass when raining and also so very cool to see the glimpses of sunlight make there way in occasionally.

It is Canada Day long weekend, and there were definitely tourists buzzing around today taking in the Historic Farmers' Market, Brewery Tours and just in general taking photos of the inside of the building with so much character.

We had a great experience doing our show and sell today and it was very nice to chat with many of the tourists. Many of which made purchases too! Hope you enjoy the Hugs for your feet!

Showing some of the brick and character inside the 200 old buidling.

There's MrB working away... and see the stone or brick floor!

Tried to capture some of the beams and floor again along with our today's display.


Brick away up, look away up... and again MrB crafting his art of sock making! Picture is a little blurred but it was the building more so that I was trying to capture today as I mentioned this was our 1st time in this location. And it worked very well for us today, June 29, 2013, being the new format of the market. You will see us back again July 27/13. We may be in the same location or we may be in the Lower Courtyard. This location is called the Upper Courtyard. I did not get a picture of the Lower Courtyard today but in the future I will try my best to capture some of the awesome building to share.
