Champaign, OH:  My Favorite Things-Part 2


I simply remember my favorite things,
And, then I don’t feel so bad…
(Julie Andrews)

I love when customers send me their likes, dislikes, songs, support, encouragement, and now their favorite things! Keep them coming…it means the world to the vendors!!

And, what I love, is that all of our favorite things will be different, because we all shop, differently, because we are all so different and unique.

This list of favorites comes from weekly customer, Dawn Butcher!

Oh, the chunk honey from Ladybug Acres! My husband eats some every morning on his English muffin! Yum.

Yes, and the fresh, deboned trout from Freshwater Farms! So beautiful and tasty, with butter and sliced almonds on top!

The short ribs from Oakview Farm Meats, fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy and sweet!

Of course red raspberries from Champaign Berry Farm are always a treat. As well as all their lovely jams and preserves.

My ChrisMis Survival Stick works on all my bug bites, blisters, surgical scars, and even my lips. My dogs use it, too.

I love eating eggs from chickens that have happy lives:). Thank you, egg vendors.

I have lavender bundles in my linen drawers, where they still look pretty and make everything smell great.

The item I used most this year: my mesh produce bags! I love them; I can pick my veggies, rinse them while they’re still in the bag, and let them drip dry. The bags are simple but amazing. I don’t remember who made them, but thank you.

Oh, and when it’s available, Pasture Bob’s coffee blend. Unlike many coffees, it tastes as good as it smells.

Champaign, OH:  My Favorite Things


I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad…
(Julie Andrews)

I have decided to dedicate a few blog entries titled, My Favorite Things.

I think this will be a fun installment, that along with favorite songs, you can send me a little blurb, via email, with some of your favorite products from the market, and why…The vendors/producers/growers work so very hard, each and every week, and I know that they would all be delighted to read little blurbs about their wares.

So, I am kicking it off, today, with one product that has become very essential to me, and that is a product from ChrisMis Farms, and it’s their Jewelweed Salve. In the little silver tin. With a lid that just comes off, easily, unlike my once favorite Smith’s Rosebud Salve that you practically had to have a hammer to get the top off…but, I digress.

This little tin of loveliness goes with me, everywhere. It’s cute, and stylish, and fits in all of my little handbags, clutches, even pockets of my jackets. It is the best texture, and when you rub it on, there is no gummy/greasy texture.

It is billed as being great for summer itches, but it’s great for so much of my life. It’s the BEST lipgloss. A bit of shimmer with a whole lot of moisture packed surprise. I love it under my eyes, before I fall asleep at night. The fine lines are looking so less so. My hands take a beating, in and out of the commercial kitchen/cleaning pans/baking, etc…and when I need more than lotion on my hands, I rub this in, and like magic…dry skin be gone!

It’s become the thing that I rub into my hands, the minute I get in my car, after being out in a public place. I first remove my face mask, and I then use hand sanitizer. Both of which dry out my hands, and my face mask has started to create little dry patches under my eyes. So, a little bit of this, and all dryness is gone.

It would be the perfect stocking stuffer for all of the people in your life…

And, so it begins…These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
