It's possible that you haven't completed your holiday shopping yet, and it's also possible that you have a tea lover on your list. If this is the case, allow me to name a few vendors that can help. Dressed by Les - handsewn reusable tea bags (pictured here with a pretty turquoise button). Cuppa' T' - quality loose tea leaves in special RFM-only flavours (pictured). Grandpa's Garden - fruit honey. Zee-Bee Honey - plain and flavoured honey. You're welcome.

The Flour Shoppe was not able to return to the market this fall, but they will be able to host RFM Kids' Club tomorrow! Some very lucky children will be dipping The Flour Shoppe homemade marshmallows into melted chocolate and garnishing them. Dip. Sprinkle. Eat. Repeat. Feel free to harass The Flour Shoppe about the severe lack of lemon tarts this summer. :)

Not all vendors are mentioned above; see the Vendor LIST for all in attendance. Refer to the Market MAP for vendor locations on the upper and lower levels (2 pages!).

Happy Holidays and we'll see you in the spring!
