Next Market THIS Thursday, Friday, Saturday!

Grass almost ready...

It's the last Market before Easter! This must be true since I noticed that my candy consumption is skewing slightly more chocolaty than fruity this week: from chewy cherry hearts to crispy Fiesta malted milk eggs. Here's a reminder of our new hours for 2012:

March 8th Thursday 12 -6

March 9th Friday  12-6

March 19th Saturday 10-6 

Give your house or wardrobe a whiff of spring with something cheerful and new from The Market!

I've been growing grass in order to provide some real living green in as many places as possible. This is wheat and rye grass which is safe - even healthy- for kids and pets.

COLOR!

Recent jewelry designs embrace fashion's color blocking trend.* Blue beads accented by a vintage yellow rose pendant, or red and pink earrings bring whimsy and instant color therapy to any ensemble.
*Color blocking means blocks of solid colors worn together. It is a super hot trend for spring and summer.

Passion for Pearls and Patina

Other designs you'll see are part of a collection I'll be bringing to the Live Oak Arts Fest on March 31st in Ft Myers, Florida. Pearls (cultured, freshwater, or vintage glass pearls from Japan) are combined with old rosary chain, mother of pearl beads and sea glass to make layered necklaces and earrings that are my current magnificent obsession! Somehow, using the older chain and muted palette make this collection appropriate to wear now in northern climes. These pieces don't scream Little Mermaid or 'My mom went to Sanibel and all I got was this lousy shell necklace' like I was afeared they might. Nope, I'm wearing the necklaces layered one upon the other with a tshirt and cashmere cardi or to fill in the neckline of a button down shirt or dress. I think you'll like them.

Justine and Lisa almost sold out during the art crawl so there will be plenty of fresh new furniture and home accessories to make you swoon. Honestly, their stuff is so great: chic pieces that add personality and character to a room while pulling their weight as seating, storage or work surface. As a rule, older furniture is better made and longer lasting than what is produced in foreign factories today. It just makes sense to get items that hold up to years of use while becoming more charming with each transformation.

Don't forget our new neighbors who will be open this weekend. The Better Life Cafe at the top of the stairs is cozy, intimate, friendly and fun. AND, their food and drink is fresh and delicious.
Sandy's Studio Sandy (of Sandy's Attic fame) has a wonderful studio in Suite #121 open on Fridays from 12 - 6. Expect to see fashion forward Spring apparel as well as art, gifts, and accessories.

There's something for everyone on Market days!

Next Market: March 8,9,10!

March dates and hours go like this:

March 8th Thursday 12 -6

March 9th Friday  12-6

March 19th Saturday 10-6  

And guess what? Lots of our cool new neighbors will be open too! Art Crawl attenders got sneak peeks of some wonderful shops that have moved to Banbury. Here's your next chance to see all that's new in Building 13. The Market's goal from day one has been to partner with artists and locally owned businesses in order to provide a monthly "Farmer's Market" for art, creativity, and other delights. And it's happening! Here are just a couple of the new places to check out when you come to The Market...

Art Lovers, Your Mothership Is Arriving...

Banbury Building 13 will be all abuzz and exciting at the

 Banbury Art Crawl 

February 3rd and 4th this Friday and Saturday! 

Hours are Friday 3pm - 9pm

Saturday 9am - 3pm

This is the event that got me (Susan) into Building 13 for the first time and I've never looked back. Years ago, the crawl was the brainchild of Eau Claire's own stained glass artist and Fairy Godmother of the Arts Laurie Bieze.  The atmosphere during the Art Crawl is cheerful, welcoming and completely inspiring! Every visitor is granted instant insider status as studio doors open wide to each attender. The glass, painting, sculpture, oh my goodness it's like a mini renaissance of the soul on every floor. Honestly, there's nothing like walking down a hallway discovering an open studio door and catching a glimpse of the colors, shapes, and treasures waiting within. Yes, lots of artwork will be for sale but even if you're feeling poor as a church mouse, you will leave feeling full and fed and dazzled by creativity. Of course, The Market will be open! Come say "Hi" to Susan and Lisa and see what's new (hint: there is a lot). The Banbury Art Crawl is a kid friendly event (just keep your eye on them if you stop in for the free wine tasting at Infinity Beverages) and Susan is working on a free gift for the first 50 kids who stop by The Market! The Banbury Art Crawl has an amazingly informative website you can access at http://www.banburyartcrawl.com/  See you there! xo Susan
