ABOVE THE BRIERY

Let's talk native plant fall planting this Saturday! Whether it's trees, shrubs, or perennials, fall is awesome! We think of fall-blooming plants in the fall, and there are plenty to choose from, but soon you can plant everything! In our climate, fall is great because our soil stays warm enough to allow roots to grow, even if the top of the plant is dormant.

Bizzy Izzy
Izzy has not decided what she will have on Saturday, but it will undoubtedly be good and interesting. Stop by to see what it turns out to be!

B and B Eggs and Crafts

Sandra
Sandra will bring her usual delicious pasture-raised chicken eggs. She is in need of 12-count egg cartons. If you have some to recycle, she would love to have them.

Arts and Crafts

  • T & J Designs will return with lovely home décor, wreaths, and flags.

  • B&B Eggs and Crafts: Sandra has created decoupage jar vases.

Try one of these lovely candles to set the mood or just to create a delightfully clean scent in your home. They are great.

BAKED ITEMS

Sandra at B & B EGGS AND CRAFTSwill have her fabulous "Liquid Gold" banana nut bread. It is SO good! Stop by for a sample. It's yummy!

HOLY GRANOLE WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK

ULIE BABBIN

Will offer us wonderful hand made ice cream made with local & seasonal ingredients. What a perfect treat for a hot day.  And, she will also have assorted baked goods. 

THE PORK SKIN MAN
 Rodney, The Pork Skin man, will have pork skins, pork rinds, fried peanuts and funnel cakes. He is open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

We hope to see you Saturday, August 23 at the Lenoir County Farmers Market!
