Market days are happy days!

When I see this pic it just makes me smile!



Market days are such happy days!



There's no reason to be sad here because life is good!



The market is a chance to have a girls' morning out...





Or time with your honey...





It's mommy and baby time...



And, family time...



It's time for laughter...





And, time for Charlie lovin'!!



Thanks for your continued support! We'll see you Saturday!

Scenes from the market....

Saturdays are happy days!



See, everyone smiles!



And, it's Charlie's big day of the week too!



He gets lots of lovin...



Did I mention how much fun we have on Saturdays?



It's such a great time to be out in Petersburg visiting with friends and neighbors!



After you visit the market be sure to stop in town and have some breakfast or lunch!



And then go home and cook up that good stuff you bought for dinner...



We've got all you need and more!

Market days are here again!

This time of the year is so exciting! All of the veggies are coming in and the farmers market is bustling! Last week was our first week back at the Petersburg Farmers Market! Every green table was filled with amazing local products for your shopping pleasure!



You've heard me say before that the market is about more than just selling our flowers and soaps. Well, it's an opportunity to be a part of the community and get to know people. And, over the years we've met some AMAZING people. So many stories and ups and downs we've shared with them. Just like we've grown so have our customers!



I want you to meet my buddy, Joe, and his lovely parents, Patrick and Lia.

I first met Joe last year at the market. Even though he never said a word I felt like he was saying so very much to me. This little man is so special. Did you know he has a blog? Well, go check it out. And, most importantly, please take a moment to watch Lia's Mother's Day speech. It was the most touching thing I've ever watched. I couldn't stop crying the entire time! This family is amazing and just knowing them will transform you and how you look at things! I encourage you to sit quietly and listen to her words. Think about compassion, gentleness, and kindness! The things that this world needs more of.

We got a big smile from Joe when Charlie tried to mooch his dad!



Life is about people! Our friends from year to year like Meg!

She comes back with her "old" paper bag from my first year selling soaps! If the world had more recyclers like her we'd sure be a lean and clean place. It truly just takes one person to make a difference!



Shoppers come from all around to chat with their favorite vendors and support local! It's not just about buying veggies for most people. It's a social event!



I encourage you to swing by the market and say hi. Talk to the vendors! Find out about their farms. Be a part of the community!



Here are some of the great things you'll find at the market...

I still haven't mastered these yet!





And, Charlie was so out of practice "working" the market that this was him on Saturday night!



Thanks for all of the love you show our fur-child and us! We appreciate your continued support. See you Saturday! Under the bridge!

Yard Works

We decided to install irrigation to our veggies and flowers this year! Dynamo is so handy. He knows just how to do everything! It always amazes me how much he can do!



During the installation there was a lot of inspection by the Little Man! He just had to get in the middle of everything to see what was going on!



The most funny was when the elbows weren't on yet and the water shot up like a geyser!! Charlie had a blast!






So, we kept turning it on and off so he could play!





He loves to be dirty!



Then he wondered where it went?!!



We're excited that the irrigation will save us some watering time this year!
The little man is proud of his completed irrigation job! Where'd the geyser go, Mom?



How's your garden growing?

Market Saturday Update

Another glorious Saturday at the market last week! Beautiful weather and beautiful friends!



Happy faces!



Charlie too!



These ladies brought Charlie his very own bag of treats! They are always the first customers to arrive every week!



Saturday was filled with visits from old friends! I was reconnected with this mother/daughter after I attended my photography workshop at Warthan Farms! The daughter, Kim, arrived at the workshop when I did and said she recognized me! Her mom was a teacher at the High School I attended, was the head of the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), and also kept score for all of our softball games! Kim, who was much younger when she was hanging out at the ballfield with her mom, remembered me! Amazing! She and her mom rode down to see my mom and I! It was so good to see them!



And, we got a visit from our Waverly church friends! Jennifer and her daughter, Jessie!



And, Ally and her fiancee, Josh!



It always makes you feel so special when friends take time out of their busy schedules to come down and visit and support you!

Tom and his daughter stopped by for some soap! I have to give a shout out for Saucy's BBQ! Tom is the owner and if you haven't tried it, you should! Because it really is just that awesome! Plus, you can feel good that you're supporting local!!



More visits from friends!

Kelly and her family came down to visit and shop! Kelly was one of my very first soap customers! And, she's a biking buddy too!



Dynamo and Mike got to chat guy stuff!



And, Charlie's buddy, Dudley, came back for a little lovin'! He's a super guy who loves animals! Charlie just loves him!



To wrap up our Saturday we got a visit from a lovely family! This little guy, Joe, just made my day! He was so happy and glad to be at the market. It was so wonderful to see this lovely little boy! Isn't he adorable?



As much as we love our Saturdays, it's time for things to wind down! This Saturday will most likely be our last regularly scheduled market day!



We will return once each month so stay tuned to the email list and Facebook for updates! If you need anything please don't hesitate to contact me via email at rachel (at) dailyscrubsoap (dot) com.



I'll leave you with some scenes from last week!









Sure we've got music...



Check out Wayne's face!





Nothing but happy faces here...















Come on out this Saturday and see us! We guarantee you'll have a great time!
