Save the Date! Field + Supply Fall Market

I am super excited to be participating in the Field + Supply Fall Market again. It is always such a good time.  Hope to see you there in October!   This is me with my husband, Smitty, in my booth at the last Field + Supply Fall Mrkt. My tent will be in the Butler Lot, pictured above, as it was the last time.  Think campfires, tasty beverages close-by, and an amazing view of the Hudson River. The Butler Lot is to the left of the big Butler Pavillion if you are facing the river.   For more info on the Fall Mrkt and to purchase tickets in advance, click here. Looking forward to seeing you! xx Margaret
