This Week at the Market: Scent, Snack & Pom Poms!
We’re bringing farm-grown pampering and flavorful floral surprises to the Pittsboro Farmer’s Market this Thursday—just in time for Mother’s Day gifting (or a well-deserved treat for yourself)!
And don’t miss my little sweet pea, Amelia’s debut with her new venture: Pom Pom & Petal!
What we’ll have this week (5/8/25):
Botanical Body Lather – Custom-Scented, Gentle, and Refillable

Introducing: Pom Pom & Petal!
We’re thrilled to announce a very special debut at this week’s market—Pom Pom & Petal, a handcrafted collection created by my sweet 9-year-old daughter, Amelia, who regular market-goers know as my trusty and sweet assistant!
She’s been working tirelessly to bring you:
Colorful Pom Pom Garlands – perfect for bedrooms, parties, seasonal displays, or anywhere that needs a little joy
Loose Pom Poms – soft, squishy, and ready to be turned into your own creations (or just carried around like a pocket rainbow)
Each pom pom is handmade with care, love, and LOTS of giggles—and she can’t wait to share them with you at our booth. Come by, say hi, and help support a young maker launching her first venture!
Lush Bites Bouquets & Edible Petal Posies
Farm-grown, food-safe flowers—gorgeous enough to display, and totally edible! Each bouquet is crafted with stems selected for their flavor, aroma, and visual appeal.
We’ll have a limited number of flowers for lucky market-goers to nibble on and sample, so don’t dawdle!
