Watch for progress reports, and links to vendors starting Nov 15th. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We still have room for vendors, so if you would like to sell, and promote your wares in a unique venture, let us know, and we would love to share the details. We are very excited with this concept, and to be the first buy local samples cafe venue in town. It's a win win for customers, and vendors alike.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The customers get to check out samples of many local Artisan products, and learn about the Artist, Crafter, Chef, or Farmer, so they can visit them in their own location. It's meant to be a hub, of buy local products.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The vendors get to show of their products, and promote themselves. They can keep their products competitively priced, as there are no retail mark ups, or consignment. The shared costs of the space for one month works out to a small percent of the cost of a table at a weekend Craft event. The vendor is able to stay in their gallery, kitchen, studio, or farm, while we take care of the storefront sales.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We would love to hear any thoughts, or suggestion for our buy local samples cafe. We are using the Craft Fair as a Christmas event and trial run, but hope to make this a regular feature at the store. We are also looking for a name, so far Local Flavors, your buy local boutique is what has made it to the top of the list.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">&alt=rss</div>Sandra Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13137549926957328069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5735589997544545374.post-73315472741125067892011-10-19T12:53:00.000-07:002011-10-19T13:17:14.918-07:00My Favs and a couple new this year bulbs.<a href="http://www.botanus.com/product_images/i/647/26035-1__65046_std.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 315px; height: 315px;" src="http://www.botanus.com/product_images/i/647/26035-1__65046_std.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Sabine Hay Narcissus, it's cutting edge breeding that will no doubt lead to interesting future cultivars.

Stop in and visit our demonstration beds, they should be at their peak in a 2-3 weeks. We have 120 named Cultivars you can preview the catalog on our web site. More exciting for me is watching the seedlings bloom. I expect to see at least 1000 unique Daylilies put out their maiden blooms this season.
