Come join all the fun from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.!!!!

Food for thought's Spring Fling Vendor Highlight: Skr@ps Bracelets

If you have sewn, you know you always end up with a bunch of scrap fabric that you have no idea what to do with!  Well, this innovative individual has come up with a great way to re-purpose those scraps, as well as a fun fashion statement! 

"Each bracelet is made with scrap pieces of fabric which means no 2 are alike. They might have the same fabric or colors but they pattern never is the same. Which makes each bracelet a one of a kind piece of jewelry!"

Visit our outdoor market this Saturday and stop by Skr@ps to discover this fun line!

Food for Thought Spring Fling Vendor Highlight: Emerald City Soap

Suds up and enjoy a real clean with REAL soap!  

Their natural, artisan soaps are handmade in small cold process batches to ensure that each bar not only looks good, but actually IS good for you as well.  Here's some good info from their website: "Did you know that those big-name bars you see displayed on store shelves can't even legally call themselves soap?  That's why their labels say 'bath bar' and 'beauty bar' and other euphemistic catch phrases.  They've stripped away so much of the GOOD stuff (like the natural glycerin that is produced during the saponification process) they're not even considered soap any longer - they're detergents.  So they slap on a phrase like 'beauty bar' because it sounds so much better than 'skin stripping face detergent' and they hope no one notices!   Emerald City Soap bars are REAL soap bars.  Try them and feel the difference.  You'll be amazed how luxurious your skin feels.  Stop settling for skin detergent and get yourself some REAL SOAP!"

Check out their amazing selection of scents on May 7th!
