A few pics here to showcase some of our local micro-entrepreneur craftspeople who occasionally sell at the
Clear Lake Shores Farmers Market, which unfortunately has a downed website as of this writing, but it's every Saturday morning in Clear Lake Shores... just drive down there and you can't miss it. And/or you can find it pretty easily on Facebook. Happily, most of what this market sells is
actual home-grown and home-made food (rather than being a made-in-China trinket outlet posing as a farmers market, which some of them are), but there are also some wonderful local handicrafts among the offerings.
In no particular order...
 |
| Kitchen cutting boards crafted by RELEAF using recycled wood. This business has no website that I know of, but you can find the proprietor on Facebook by searching for 'RELEAF'. |
 |
| Superb artistry. My cell phone pics don't do them justice. Wonderful gift ideas here. |
 |
| Robin's Cedar Planters, also on Facebook. These are ingeniously constructed so that they are collapsible for easy transport. Most of them will fit into the back seat of a passenger car once folded up. Prices are very reasonable. |
 |
| I like this pic because it shows how a Robin's planter can be incorporated into a standard existing suburban landscape as a focal point. Screengrabbed from Facebook. |
 |
| This customer put the planter on casters so that it could be rolled around a patio as needed. For gardeners with limited spaces, these things would be great. They'd also be excellent for strawberry-growing. Screengrabbed from Facebook. |
 |
| I took business cards for two of these proprietors but I don't have a card for RELEAF. |
Remember to check with the market's Facebook page before you go to see which vendors will be present on any given Saturday. Not every vendor attends every market.
