Year end tidy ups!

THANKS for a great market yesterday, folks!  We will be back again on December 3!  And after that only two more stints for your shopping needs.  Those dates will be Dec 3rd and  Dec 24th!

Note: The Market will NOT be open on Dec 31, 2016, as the vendors as a whole have decided to take this market date as a day off break for the end of the year. Market will be back in full swing January 7th.  We, Socks Made On 88 will also be at the market that date, Jan7, 2017.  

Also Note:  Winter Hours will be in place at the Historic Farmers' Market for (3) months, January, February, and March 2017, starting off the year of 2017 . So See you at 8 am instead of 7am, with the first date also being January 7, 2017!  Regular hours will again take place, come April 1, 2017!  Don't worry, I will remind you of this again in the New Year!

For the Season

We have 3 featured styles/patterns for the upcoming season to fill your shopping needs. We will be at the Historic Farmers' Market this coming Saturday Nov 19th, 7am-1pm :-)

Remember... Lest We Forget! November 11th tomorrow

It seems like it has been a whirlwind week with Mr.B doing an  English radio interview and a television interview for French viewing. Both Remembrance Day, and Circular Sock Machine related.  Those two events has encouraged us to have an impromtu market stint for this coming Saturday, at the Historic Farmers' Market 7am-1pm.  And as usual the Circular Sock Machine and MrB will be in full swing demonstrating the art of sock making, just as they were used in War time for socks for the troops.  

When watching our local news this evening, there was a small segment of a women 93 years old, who use to teach Morris Code in our region.  She still operates and practices Morris Code from her basement as a hobby.  As she was closing her information to the television audience, she gave a tid bit of info being 73 meant "Best Regards" and then she said better yet, 88 means " Love and kisses"  This was something new we had just learned and a key bit of info to add to our memory banks, as our machine is the 88 th one made.  88 is in our business name and our machine and mascot is called Brigadier 88.   Love and kisses ~ MsB

During War time, wool socks helped to prevent trench foot! Did you know that fact?
