Folks,
have you ever shopped in a store before? I bet you have! This Farmer
loves to shop – especially learning to shop from the best shoppers I
know – shop owners themselves!
Americasmart is the largest mart in the country and THE SOURCE for, well, just about
anything you can think of to feather your nest, deck your hall, clad
with couture or simply sport some bling. I urge you folks to shop local
and spend local – these folks who run their mom and pop shops work like
a smart gardener works their plot – they plan and harvest from the best
sources.
If
you want a spring garden full of foxgloves and snapdragons, you’re
going to have to plant them and plan for them ahead of time – plant in
fall for a splendid spring and plant in spring for a fabulous fall!
That’s just what a savvy store owner does – they plan their Market trip
so that the very next season’s best offerings are right there on Main
Street USA… Or Carroll Street, East Clayton, South College and Magnolia,
in the Westside District, Mountain Brook Village, Rodeo Drive,
Greenwich Village or Highland Park… depending just what neck of the
woods you find yourself.
This
will be my second year speaking and signing books at Americasmart in
the ATL and I just cannot wait!! I’ll be speaking on A Time to Plant
which these shoppers will totally understand – it’s all about planning!
I’ll also be cooking up a Southern storm, with recipes from my
forthcoming book, A Time to Cook, which will be here this spring!
Come
on down to The Mart if y’all can! Plan your garden and plan your
shopping so you too can harvest the best! To market, to market this
Farmer shall go! To market, to market, jiggity-jig-jig!!!
