I’ve updated the schedule of confirmed events. There are a few more that I haven’t signed contracts for yet, but are definitely planned. I’ll add those dates when “the check’s in the mail”. Favorites are restocked, and some brand new materials and mixes. Can’t wait.
In Memory of my "Mule"
Most of you know that Jer started a battle with colon cancer on Easter weekend 2025. He finished chemo in December, got a clear CT scan shortly after, and had ostomy reversal surgery on January 20, 2026. He had beat cancer, but the effects of chemo on his heart were just too much for him to overcome. We lost him on January 21, 2026. The last thing he said to his surgeon before allowing them to intubate him was “if I can’t be well enough to be a market mule, remember that I have a DNR and advance directive”. I’ll hang one of his baseball caps in the booth as a remembrance. He’s sorely missed.
2026 Markets Update
I’m back at Allen Park Farmers Market on Fridays (3-7), starting the first week in May, and participating in the Art Fair on Friday. I’m back at Trenton Farmers Market and Artisan Fair every Thursday from 2-7
I intend to participate in St. Thomas’ annual craft fair on December 5th on Grosse Ile. Missed last December because of a conflict. Keeping the date open this year.
I’ve made some wonderful market friends who are now hosting events. Additional dates and locations as soon as I confirm.
Looking forward to seeing all of you!
Bracelet Price Change Effective January 2023
The price of single bracelets increased from $9 to $10 starting in January, 2023. Three for $25 will stay the same (so if you get six, one is free), This is our first (slight) increase since we started in 2017. Frankly, there were two factors: dealing with singles and taking a hit on $9 credit card fees. Thanks for understanding,
