Our 1st Farmer's/Artisan's Market!

Yesterday was our first time to participate in a local farmer's/artisan's market at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church on Spring Ave. in Decatur, AL. We met several new friends and potential customers. We're hoping to make several appearances there between now and late October when the market closes for the season. A big thanks to Brad Wallace Imaging for our banner design.
