From email announcement:

Vending this week…
Shakambari Garden rejoins the market this week with organic bagged and loose teas, medicinal plants, a tea sample and a full noggin of ‘nowledge about the teas, their blends and origins, and their potential medicinal or health benefits. Sustenance has a conflict for the rest of the season so we bid them a final farewell (for the season) and welcome the family as shoppers and visitors. Caramont and Thinking of You Creations are off this week. But this glorious weather should ensure Chocolate Cravings is with us, don’t you think? Not too hot, not too cold – in fact a little crispiness to the air is a wonderous thing for produce, chocolate, breads and cookies, eggs and chutneys, viandes and sausages, fruits and flowers alike, eh, eh, eh?

The Library
The Grace Arents Library is undergoing a gradual and steady organizational and beautification overhaul. And its library manager would love to have the helping hands of those who love books, quiet and thoughtful tasks, sewing, old books and book restoration, and at least one or two who have real librarian training for some specific projects. I plan to schedule 2 clean-up days over the next month on Friday afternoon that will need 5-10 volunteers 4 hours on each occasion. After that, there will be ongoing need for those who’d like to spend 1-2 hours per week. Great for service learning and community service! If you are interested please reply to Ana at byrdhousemarket at gmail.com!
Thanks!
