Look for us tomorrow at the Market

We will be in the Upper (Main) Courtyard! 7am-1pm

Instead of yardscaping we decided to Yarnscape! Haha

You must see a new potential pair of Socks Made On 88 sock pair from these glorious colours of yarn?  We always have new colours of sock pairs at our market display.  We will be at the market (The Historic Farmers' Market) at Brewery Square 1496 Lower Water Street, Halifax NS.  this coming Sat. July 25th 7am to 1pm.  Stop by and have a "yarn" with us!

PS: Later in the week I will notify you here as to our exact display location.  If you miss it here it will also be updated at our website and Facebook Page too.

The Rain is welcomed today...

Brigadier 88 is waiting for MrB, as they have some cranking to start today!

 

And these sock pairs are waiting for MsB (me) to be kitchenered! 

There is work to be done this week before the market again this coming Saturday, July 25/15.  Socks Made On 88 is glad for the rain, for more than one reason!

The Word of Day is "GREAT"

Great to be back at the market after 5 weeks break! Great Break! Great Day Today! Great Customers! What can I say, all is Great with Socks Made On 88!  See you next Saturday too, July 25th (7am-1pm) for some more Great Market Moments.  We also like to share our socks with you, as we think they make Great Gifts!

And on another Great note, it is with Great pleasure that I am happy to announce that the Historic Farmers' Market will continue to operate at The Brewery Square 1496 Lower Water Street, Halifax, NS. It was a Great meeting today discussing our market's future.  Look for some great and exciting changes to occur in the next couple weeks after August 1st!  Sometimes change is a great thing if accepted with a positive attitude.  

I know I have said this before, and I will say it again!
Socks Made On 88 has Great and Loyal customers, so thank you to all of you!  Thank you for  being patronagers at our market we call HOME!

When you step down to the market tomorrow...

Look for us set up between the bakery display of Boulangerie La Vendeene  and the orange doors before entering Kreative Knits in the Upper Main Courtyard.  We will be right in front of the Brewery Square location map sign. Hours (7am-1pm) 


 

Step on down to ...

The Historic Farmers' Market this Saturday, July 18th, we of Socks Made On 88 will be happy to greet you and show you our products.
The Short Tabbies are only one kind of sock pairs that we carry.

Our colour palette that we use to determine our sizes and Updates too!

 

The top photo shows the range of colours in our palette that we have chosen to represent the sock sizes we create to show and sell.  Our sizes are from Women's size 5 to Men's size 13.  Each size has its own colour of yarn that we tie on our specially made Sock Tags!  And just to mention once again, our Socks are made to match your shoe size!  We have found that this works very well for us and also very well for our customers buying them. A win-win situation.

The 2nd photo shows the 5 colour tags to match the different sizes of Baby Hats we make.  I use our neon coloured business tags that are printed in 5 different colours.  Blue for X-Large, Lime Green for Large, Orange for Medium, Yellow for Small and Pink for Preemie!  I also use the pink tags to mark our Soap Sacks.  

When I take pictures outdoors for my blog,  I like to you use things or flowers in our front or back yards to make the captures reflect some of our personal life. Today features some of our flowering plants in our front garden near our retaining wall.  It is also nice for us to see how our gardens develop over the years and pictures can be looked back upon.

A reminder for our market customers, we will be at the Historic Farmers' Market this coming Saturday, July 18th, the next Saturday after being July 25th and then again August 22, 2015.

As usual our bi-montly schedule will return in September.  If you need to check ahead to see when we will be at the market in the coming months, our yearly schedule is posted over at our website.http://sockson88.wix.com/socks-made-on-88 under the Markets button.

And for those loyal customers of Socks Made On 88, in case you are wondering, we do plan to continue our market stints at the Historic Farmers' Market even with upcoming renovations to take place in the near future.  We love the Historic Farmers' Market as it is our HOME, we are happy to be part of the Cooperative and we are looking forward to the next phase of our adventure there, in whatever capacity is resolved as a whole.

Happy Summer to ALL  :-)
