If you were in Abilene last Thursday, I hope your were able to grab a basket and skip on over tothe Quaint Marketplace!


Due to a 60% chance of rain, the market moved to Hannah Jane's @ Treadaway and South 14Th. A "BIG THANKS" to Homer Hillis for his willingness to let us move in with only 2 days notice. You are generous beyond words!

Practically overnight, twenty talented women moved their wares into the vintage warehouse and arranged them ever so well! Below, from left to right, was 'glitter queen' Brandy Faulkner, the lovely and talented Jana Thacker, and the amazing and gracious Molly Yarger, of Molly B's.

Just look at these fabulous burlap pillows! Great Christmas gifts!

Yours truly....flanked by Kay Noles, baker extraordinaire (aka Sugar Fairy) with her signature pink boxes!
