If you look to the left from this scene you will find our market!
During the spring/summer/fall market seasons, Freeport is one of the Cumberland Farmer's Market setup locations. In the past we could be found in the parking lot of the town office on Friday afternoons. This year marks a significant change in our Freeport experience because we have been invited by L.L.Bean to set up on their campus as the Freeport Community Market.
Freeport has always been a good market for my aprons and we could always count on a modest number of tourists stopping by our market to see what's going on beneath all the brightly colored tents. This spring we will now be within the actual realm of that legendary store and within spitting distance of the thousands of visitors who come to the mecca that is L.L.Bean.
Excited? Yes, I'm excited. Unlike the farmers who sell consumables to their regular customers each week, fresh faces are necessary when selling non-food items. And to be in the middle of all those fresh faces each week throughout the "tourist" season - well, you can't get any better than that.
My aprons and my daughter's jewelry (check out her wares on etsy) will be ready to go on the official opening day on Friday, May 28th, from 3:00 through 7PM.
See you there!
