Last weekend, The HH and I stopped by the Maker’s Market at Thompson Point for a look around at all the vendor booths.
Located in Portland, in the coolest brick building ever, there always seems to be something going on here.
This indoor space pulls in large crowds and unique crafts people and I’ve always thought it would be a cool spot to set up a booth.
While there are a lot of repeat vendors, there are also new ones every time we visit which makes the trip fun.
I love the hot pepper jellies from Grey Goose Gourmet. Every time I see them at a market I have to buy a couple of jars.
Their flavors are outstanding and spot on. {And much less expensive to buy in person than online.} Their hot apricot jelly is my favorite.
Another regular at the Thompson Point Maker’s Market is a giant flower cart with tons of botanicals {lots of them dried}.
I am always amazed at the prices and what they have to offer. It makes me want to start a flower farm and set up my own stand.
People LOVE buying fresh flowers!! And I love growing them. It seems like it would be a winning combination if you ask me.
The one thing I most look forward to when we go to the Maker’s Market though, are the big cookies. I LOVE a big cookie.
And there’s a lady there who sells stacks of them! Her big cookies are $5 each and worth every penny.
Chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia nut and ginger molasses. I’ve tried them all and all her cookies are fantastic.
I guess the things we love never really change… And for me that’s cookies and jam. Drop me at any craft show, or farmer’s market and that’s what I’ll end up buying. Every single time.
How about YOU? When you go to these types of shows what do you always seem to go home with? Curious minds want to know.
Have a great weekend everyone, I hope you have a good one!
