Look who wears our SOCKS!

A well known CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) TV personality wears our SOCKS!
Are you familiar with George Stroumboulopoulos?
We sent him a pair of socks (which he loves)
All we asked in exchange was that he send us a picture of him wearing the socks to display at our Market table and he very much said yes and sent us this photo!

MrB can String you Along....

Here is a string of 6 pairs of socks!  MsB, that's me, will be busy in the next day or two, kitchenering.  We had a very nice day at the market yesterday.  MrB cranked away and I sold and chatted up many a conversation with so many very interesting and intriguing people. Some people are our local market goers, some are visitors and some are tourists.  I must say it is one part of my job that I thoroughly enjoy, intermingling with the people who stop at our vending market location.  It is a very rare occasion that I do encounter someone who is not pleasant!  But then again, I try to be courteous and welcoming, and do not string them along..... :-) It was our last market where we attend twice monthly.  Our next market, we are entering, what we call, our off-season, May to August in which we attend the market only once a month starting next appearance.  We decided last year that it was important for us to continue our presence at the market even if those 4 months are not booming sale months.  If we catch it right, when a cruise ship is in we do make several sales though, and we are in a building in which tours take place and the tourists are drawn to inspect us also.  Part of our market going is not all about sales, but networking and just being friendly also.  MrB also enjoys educating, demonstrating and sharing the art of sock making to all who stop with a very curious look on their face. It is not often either that he will string you along except when he is crankin' out SOCKS!

2 Pairs of Left-Over Sock Pairs and 4 more pairs!
