We woke up at the crack of dawn to slightly chilly temps and headed west towards WeHo from Silver Lake. The produce vendors were already in place and the prepared food vendors and crafters were setting up for the day. We grabbed a cup o' joe from fellow vendor Oscar's Coffee, unloaded our "store," and the day took off with a great start. We were welcomed by our neighbors, Honey from Bolani (SO GOOD), Bergen from Eat Me Cookies (Delicious and good for you!), and Phil from Fair Trade Express (I bought the cutest little bull handmade in Peru for my new nephew).
Burro the Bull
Really awesome people vending fantastic products. We're in GREAT company!!
The morning warmed up and the sun was bright and... well, sunny. :) Rose penned a sign that it was our first day of business and it was official. We were slangin' desserts!
(Photo Courtesy of John Lesko)The day was made even more fantastic when we sold out of our Chocolate & Caramelized BACON Bread Puddings! Another hot (sold out) seller was our Original Creme Caramel. For our new loves out there, get there early. We don't want you to miss out!!
(Photo Courtesy of John Lesko)We heart the vendors and WeHo community for such a warm and sweet reception. We can't wait to see more of you out next Sunday for our second day of business!!
Thanks to my very dear loves, Sean G, Creese W, Adri D, and Rose V for their support and help throughout the day. You are awesome beyond compare.
LOVE LOVE LOVE to our friends and family that stopped by: Vicky, Diana, John, Jenn B and the rest of the B family. :), my bro Kyle (aka my webmaster) and Sheila, my sis Karleen and Jules (sans new baby boy.), and lastly, my moms and pops. Our day was made brighter by your presence.
Week #2 here we come! And look what we have in store for you:
Week #2 - Hearts and Hot Love Week
We have two news items for you!
1) We're adding a little spice to our regular menu. Literally! Try our "HOT" Chocolate Bread Pudding made warm by All Spice Cafe's Ghost Pepper Grind spices!! This past Sunday's sold out Chocolate Bread Pudding will have a little hot action going with a simple sprinkling of All Spice Cafe's Ghost Pepper grind. The amount of spice is up to you. We'll give you a container of the goods, you sprinkle your desired temperature. The result is a warm, but not overwhelming heat that is tempered by the chocolate custard and our recommended sauce topping of Creme Anglaise. Get hot with our Hot Chocolate BP!! (Sorry - this lovely flavor will only be available at the Melrose Place Farmers' Market.)
2) LA/OC dwellers - Order ONLINE for the 14th and send your loves (friends, fam, and/or hot luvah) creme caramel and bread pudding to sweeten their day. (Ok, I hate that I used the obvious verb - lame, I said adjective, but I meant VERB. ;-) ) Last day to place your order for delivery to addresses (home and office) in LA and OC counties is this Thursday, February 11th by 4pm! Want to save on delivery fee and pick it up on Sunday at our booth? Enter the coupon code HEARTSIES and we'll confirm your order will be ready for pick-up anytime between 10am-2pm at the Melrose Place Farmers Market this Sunday, February 13th.
