Saturday Market (Last Day of Season)

The weather turned out pretty nice for the last day of market. October 30, 2010. The air was cool and crisp at 5 am by 6am it was a bit windy and of course felt cold down by the river.
Vendors were in dressed in halloween costumes and had candy treats for all . By 10 am the sun was out and it felt pretty warm out.
If the weather holds out I will attend a few market Saturdays with my Rugs before the holidays. I would like anyone who needs gifts for birthdays or holidays or just because they want a new rug, to come and see my inventory, I have at least six new rugs , and a bunch that are just waiting for the right home to go to. I have plenty of denim in various sizes and some corduroys, also some double knit in stripes. If you are interested in placemats ,I also have some in sets of 4,6 or 8. Come and check out the entire market, there will always be vendors inside and some outside for your shopping needs.
keep on weavin'

Market Ends Soon

The seasonal market ends on Oct. 30, 2010. That means that I will not be outdoors this winter at the Freight House Farmers Market.
I need to get busy and weave, weave, weave. I have had a good spring and summer at the market. My storage boxes are mostly emptied.
I will be weaving all winter as time allows..I sometimes get away from weaving and do only the preparing of fabrics for rugs, but I will be doing a lot of weaving to get ready for the spring and summer market season to come.
I will be working on the denims and the flannels for rugs. I am still waiting for a back order of warp so that does put a dent in the weaving process. I am hoping it comes soon.
I will of course take a weekend of well deserved "vacation" just a weekend getaway. Then get back to the work at hand.
Holidays will fast approach so that slows down the process. It is always an exciting time around the house. That also means dusting and cleaning, cooking and baking.
The weaving must go on!!
Keep on weavin'
Remember to stop in at the Freight House Market on the banks of the Great Mississippi River in Davenport Ia. Happy winter to all!!
