To Infinity and Beyond

Tim and Arbie
Space the final frontier

That is the phrase that comes to mind when I look at paintings from our newest artist Tim Anthony. His paintings have great colors and different textures swirled together in this whole kinda spacey theme and they are great. His art opens up a whole new feel at the market and we are glad he has chosen to share it with us. There are a few framed pieces and several individual paintings to chose from at very reasonable prices and each is a one of a kind piece of art. Keep your eye on Tim Anthony cause he is gonna be going places...

Rascal the Racoon

Rascal the Racoon



Rascal flirting with Demme
Now that's something you don't see everyday- A racoon playing in your hair. Rascal is a rescue racoon that is being fostered and will be released back into the wild. He is about 4 weeks old and his foster mother Kathleen will teach him to hunt for food and take care of himself before he is released. When we first saw Rascal at the market he could fit in your hand and was being carried around in a sling baby carrier, now look at him- he is huge. You never know what to expect at the market but a good time is had by all. Come see us.

Bongo Willie








Bongo Willie, Demme and I
jamming on Main Street






We love Bongo Willie! The first time we ever met Bongo Willie
we were at the Earth Day Festival at Riverfront Park earlier this
year. He was really the highlight of the day for us. If you have ever
seen Bongo Willie then you know him because if you walk up a stranger
you don't leave as one. He really is a all around cool guy who just loves
music and everyone who will play with him. His box of crazy music
makers is not anything that you would expect. (That is me playing
a pair of flip flop shoes on some pipes in the picture above). I think
my favorite instrument is the spoons because I played with them
so long that my hand was hurting. You can catch Bongo Willie on
some Saturdays at the market when he not jamming somewhere
else or you can catch him at his website http://bongowillie.com/
Thanks Bongo Willie for finding the hidden rythym in all of us.

Katy Bob Designs


Carry all purses made from recycled fabric



One of a kind Katy collars

Katy Bob Designs is a regular vendor at the Market. Her booth includes pillows made from old t-shirts (she also takes custom orders in case your favorite old t is worn out), small over the shoulder bags and huge carry all bags. My personal favorite is her one of a kind Katy Collars.
They come in assorted sizes and colors and are cute as they can be. Katrina Kelso is the mastermind behind Katy Bob Designs and she even has a water bowl for all the many dogs that come thru the market, and special doggy treats. Any fellow dog lover is a friend of mine. Katy Bob design is also a fellow recycler as she uses recycled fabrics for her designs.

Concrete Art by Jerry Klingbeil


Fabulous Finds



Every tree needs some personality
Jerry Klingbeil is another regular vendor at the market. He has a unique talent
making art from concrete. We love this, and so does everyone else.
His pieces are very popular at the market. He also does custom orders,
stepping stones, benches and alot of other things. Take a look at his
book of pictures and you will be amazed. I have ordered 2 original
crosses ( one for me and one for a gift) to pick up next Saturday,
and a got a small bird to hang outside my door.
You can also pick up some very unique jewelry from his wife Carol
(love her) thats her frog necklace from an earlier post. We are
very happy to have them as regulars at the market.
