Champaign, OH:  2000 Miles

HE’S GONE 2000 MILES
IT’S VERY FAR
THE SNOW IS FALLING DOWN
GETS COLDER DAY BY DAY
I MISS YOU

THE CHILDREN WILL SING
HE’LL BE BACK AT CHRISTMASTIME

IN THESE FROZEN AND SILENT NIGHTS
SOMETIMES IN A DREAM YOU APPEAR
OUTSIDE UNDER THE PURPLE SKY
DIAMONDS IN THE SNOW SPARKLE
OUR HEARTS WERE SINGING
IT FELT LIKE CHRISTMASTIME

2000 MILES
IS VERY FAR THROUGH THE SNOW
I’LL THINK OF YOU
WHEREVER YOU GO

HE’S GONE 2000 MILES
IT’S VERY FAR
THE SNOW IS FALLING DOWN
GETS COLDER DAY BY DAY
I MISS YOU

I CAN HEAR PEOPLE SINGING
IT MUST BE CHRISTMASTIME
I HEAR PEOPLE SINGING
(2000 Miles-The Pretenders)

I’ve been thinking, a lot, about all the places I have been lucky enough to live, in my life, especially at holiday time.

This song always throws me back to my California years, traipsing around Venice Beach (my first apartment, out of college) and Westwood, my second, and more grown up apartment. You could ramble in and out of the shops, and eateries, and bars, during December, and this song seemed to always be playing, harkening my thoughts back to family, friends, and traditions.

Just like this market, just like the family that we all have become. We hope that your holiday roads take you to amazing places, and we hope to send you off, in this final week of the market, for 2019, with good cheer, and good food.

This will be our final market of the year, the decade! We are taking the two holiday weeks off, and will reopen for ordering, Thursday, Jan 2, 2020…

With this, we would like to thank you, all of you, for making this market what it is, and we look forward to serving you in 2020…

We open the market, tonight, and we hope to see you all at market pick up, on Thursday…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Champaign, OH:  A Little Holiday Haze...

Are you feeling the holiday goodness, this year? I know that it seems like it is coming, fast and furious, but I find myself quite taken by all of the lights, the music, the sounds, the festive warmth to the season. I love this time of year…but for some reason, joyous feelings, and new anticipations seem to be calling me, with nothing but excitement in the days to come.

I feel that I am taking more time in calmness, in making time for my people, my friends, and spreading the love, whenever I can.

This market, also my source of love sharing, is also anticipating the holiday by hoping that we can provide you with all that you need, want, desire. We hope that our market is always a sense of warmth, and gathering, during the year.

It’s what I always strive for, it’s what I always hope you take away from us. I hope that with each order, we also have tucked a bit of love, to take you on your travels, each week, as you leave us…

The market remains open until tomorrow morning, at 6am, before we close for the week.

Have a peaceful and love filled evening…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
