We ventured to Inverness, FL on Saturday to check out "Market at the Depot" at Liberty Park. The city venue is fabulous. The property is located near a bike trail and in addition to the large pavilion, has a "stage" under the water tower and a café with a game room.
A squall came through just after we arrived. The outside vendors, and even some of the inside vendors, had to deal with blowing rain.
There was a large variety of wares being offered for sale.
This was my favorite:
This clever lady acquired a variety of books of different genres. Each was wrapped and included a brief synopsis. For example, one synopsis stated:
Historical Fiction
- Contemporary - Cold War
- Troubled marriage - Lies
- Kept secrets - Love
- Twist - NYC
Rating: 4 stars on Amazon
The pretty packaging also included note paper, a marker, some stickers, a tea bag and other ephemera.
Who doesn't love a brown bag mystery?!
Clever idea!
I love the idea of a Blind Date with a Book! I've been meaning to sign up for one, but the thought of running across one at a market is even better! All of my kids are readers, and every year for Christmas, a book is one of their presents. I've played around with the idea of ordering a Blind Date for them, but I'd rather buy from a small business than from the big online store. Guess I'd better start looking around :)
ReplyDeleteI like the clever woman without having met her!
