Highlights


Janet Columbo - 
NEW VENDOR 
Local artisan, Janet Columbo brings her stylish hand-knit products to the Marketplace. Check out these delicate, ruffle scarves and tomato-inspired knit caps!   

Paul Lizotte - 
NEW VENDOR 
Paul has been involved in pottery for about 30 years, it has been a part of his life since high school. His approach is to start with a functional idea (bottle, plate, vase ect.) and then alter its proportions and add various construction techniques /decorations to make the piece more a standalone piece of artwork. Sometimes his work can be very subtle and other times more extreme. We are happy to welcome him to the Marketplace.   

Simpson Spring Turns 135!
 
The celebration will begin September 28th when we will have former owner Ed White on hand to do tours.  Over the Month of October we will have unique vendor specials to honor the Spring, a variety of special events and a cake prepared for Simpson Spring by Homemade Heaven Bakery's Linda Spartachino.Want to be a part of the celebration?  Send Simpson Simpson Spring a Birthday Message. Our favorites will be shared in our October newsletters!
