If you’re looking to get your holiday shopping done early- while at the same time supporting local businesses and artisans, this year you’re in luck! The Foster Indy Mart will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday- then they’ll be opening their doors for a “Grand Re-opening” on Black Friday.

On Friday the doors will open two hours earlier than the usual- at 9:00 AM. Through the weekend there will be refreshments provided as well as live music! Face painting and gift-making workshops will be happen over the weekend as well. On Sunday at 1:00, Heather Miller will lead a card and envelope crafting session- bring scissors, card stock, good photos and old magazines that might be headed for the recycling bin!

I’ve bought several things at the market so far. The most exciting to me are two custom “ilovelents” T-shirts made on the spot by one of the vendors! One was printed on a white T-shirt provided by the vendor, Jason- the other was printed on a baby’s shirt that I bought at Value Village on my way down there. If he provides the T-shirt the total cost of the shirt is $10. Applying an image to a shirt that you provide? Only $5! If you would like an ilovelents T-shirt- Jason can make one for you! If you would like him to make any other custom T-shirt, you’ll have to provide him with a digital image in a JPEG format- and he’ll take care of you!
