September Song
Arriving at the end of Summer | Market Place this Saturday | What's to Come
They say September is the gateway to Autumn. It certainly has felt like it with the cooler temps we had in late August! Here at Croft Place we love to celebrate the seasons and the changes that they bring. I know end of Summer blues usually strikes right around now, however let this be a reminder that we still have about 3 weeks to bask in the late Summer light.
This month feels like we’ve arrived at a destination. Our Summer Supper Series was our pilot pop-up experience, taking us through the Summer months right up to the Autumn Equinox (our September Supper Series is already sold out!) The markets are still ripe with a bounty of produce. We start to see apples galore. The hydrangeas start to turn to my favorite harvest hue. I start to gravitate towards the burgundy amaranthus versus the green (tho I will deeply miss the green cascades we have had at our events).
Speaking of flowers…
Our next Market Place is this Saturday September 6th at the Conklin Barn in Huntington from 3-6PM. Erin of EMF Gardens will be back with her beautiful homegrown florals for sale. We’ve been lusting over Erin’s flowers since our July Market and cannot wait to take home the end of season blooms. We’ll have original artwork, vintage treasures and records playing — come stop by and say hi if you are in the area!
I drove upstate this weekend to one of my favorite markets to source some beautiful treasures for the upcoming market. If you’re looking for one of a kind ceramics - I’ve got you covered! I truly do love to design and decorate seasonally, so I naturally found myself taking home darker hued pieces that will take us right into the Autumn season.
Now since it’s right around the corner… I have been plotting and planning for what’s to come for the rest of the year and let’s just says we will be embracing holiday (and if you know me at all, you know that my favorite holiday happens to be associated with skeletons and black cats). More to come soon, but for now I’m wishing you all a Happy September. Try to take in those sunsets while you can and we hope to see you at the barn soon!
