[1] local farmer here for her income

[gunsandveggies]

Hello everyone! I'm Haru Okumura, an employee at Enchanted Blossoms.

What you might not know about me, however, is that I've been a seller at the Golden Gate Farmer's Market for several years now! I sell a variety of things; food and flowers from my garden, homemade crafts, and baked goods, all made and picked fresh!

November is a special time of month, isn't it? It's the month when autumn is truly upon us. The colors of the leaves are gorgeous fiery colors, the air is crisp and chilly, and best of all? The sky is blue again! What a beautiful backdrop for one of the best months of the year!

That's why all of my items have a fall theme this month!

First, as I'm sure we have some food lovers out there, I present to you: the pies!



I have here a freshly baked maple pecan pie, a pumpkin pie, and a cinnamon pie! I've baked a few each, and they're all wrapped up and ready to find a home - or maybe a hungry individual out there? There will be samples of each, just in case you find that you like one more than the other, but try not to eat all of them, alright? I'll need every single bit of it!

[She knows some of you out there.......]

Each pie is worth $15. Come get them while they last!

I'll have different flavors of pies as we get closer to Thanksgiving, though I'm stumped on what to make. I can't decide if I should stick with what I have now, or switch them out in favor of apple crumble, cranberry, or sweet potato pie. What should I bake next?

As for other foods, I have the harvest from my garden! Stop by if you'd like fresh cranberries, raspberries, parsnips, kale, and the last batch of lettuce!

Next, one of my favorite parts: the crafts! I prepare these in advance, and all paper items are coated with a material to help them last longer, even if they accidentally get wet! Still, I'd recommend bringing them inside if you know it's going to be a rainy day.


Fall Leaves - $4
Their stems are made out of pipe cleaners, so you can curl them around whatever you'd like! A mirror, a branch, or along your blinds - just try to keep them away from cats, they enjoy chewing on them!


Autumn Mason Jars - $12
Candles not included, but you can fill the jars with whatever you'd like! As you can see from the picture, though, candles give off a fantastic glow when lit behind the leaves.


Leaf Wreath - $25
Each leaf has a special coating of clear, sparkling paint so that they give off a shine, especially in the sunlight. It's like having the magic of falling leaves right on your door! There's only a few of these, so first come, first serve!

[Haru's experienced enough to know how to get these out in time, but some of these things take a lot of time and effort here.]

And, though these have nothing to do with fall, I've brought them back due to popular demand:


Cat Bookmarks - $3
A reader ought to have a little kitty companion to keep their place once they've stopped! I'll also throw in a special offer: For $5, I'll make your own kitty into a bookmark! Though you'll have to wait another week for it, and I'll need a picture of your cat to do so, but who wouldn't want the likeness of their furry friend helping them pick up where they left off?

I hope you stop by, even if you don't intend to buy anything! I love company more than customers, after all! But no matter what you decide:

Comments

[promisedyou]

Those are all very cute, Haru! I might just stop by for the jars and the little cat bookmarks. ☆

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you so much! ｡^‿^｡

I'll set them aside for you. Is there a certain kitty pattern you'd like?

[fiddlestick]

Wow Haru, you're amazing! These are all really cute!

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you, Elliot! 。(⌒∇⌒。) I had a fun time making these!

[She has fun making them all the time, hence why she's been doing this for like a decade]

[youraffection]

wow! u really made all those urself??

[gunsandveggies]

I did!! They took some time, but it's always enjoyable to work on these things.

[unenvied]

Those are some lovely pies and crafts. I'll certainly have to consider stopping by. Autumn really is a beautiful time of the year, isn't it?

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you! It was a joy making all of them.

It really is! It's one of my favorites, though spring is a hard contender for it.

[maskreant]

i will buy all of your cat bookmarks.

[gunsandveggies]

[All of...]

Akira I made 20

That'd be $60

/slams in here

[missingache]

[While Haru posts this, Shiori is going to be sitting there playing with some of the cat bookmarks. They're incredibly cute. Yes, he's making sure not to bend them.]

... you know, you should tell people to bring warm drinks or something. I bet they'd do it if they think they'll get something extra out of it.

[Sorry, bff, just a subtle way of saying he's cold. This boy is not meant for late fall/winter weather.]

[gunsandveggies]

[Haru trusts Shiori not to bend them, so she's not really keeping an eye on him or anything. She does, however, glance up at that statement; yeah, she gets it.]

There should be a vendor nearby selling hot cider. Why don't you grab a couple of cups? [She'll even give him money for it. The cold doesn't bother her too much, but might as well not let Shiori feel like an awkward turtle about it.]

[admiringly]

omg everything here looks AMAZING
the leaves and the turkey on your pies are SO GREAT and SO FUN i love it!!
the fall leaves are such a good idea the mason jars are BEAUTIFUL and the wreaths are lovely ahhhh
the bookmarks are super super cute too
it's so hard to choose but i'm going to come by and get something!!!

[gunsandveggies]

[Oh wow, where does she start?]

Thank you so much Chiyo!! (*´∀`*) I appreciate all of that!

I'd love to see you! I'll try to make sure I have at least one of everything for you. :3

[imaginex]

Oh that wreath is adorable!

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you! o((*^▽^*))o It took a while to make, but the result turned out better than expected.

[compendiem]

Looks like you put a lot of work into everything...

[ It's unfathomable. Here is somebody who lives off plain bread rolls and probably uses a paperclip as a bookmark or something. ]

[gunsandveggies]

I appreciate the compliment! [That's what she'll take it as, at least.] I've been doing this for a long time now, so I guess it's something I'm used to by now?

[blind_badass]

This might be a strange question, but for those jars, can you feel the leaves on them?

[gunsandveggies]

Oh, yes, you can! There's a coating over them to make sure they don't wither with age or catch fire, so they won't feel exactly the same, but they have a leafy texture to the touch regardless.

[She hasn't really gotten a question like that before, but she's still happy to answer in full.]

[burningblossoms]

Haru oh my gosh I love all of this stuff!!!

I want you to save one of each of the crafts, for me please.

And I'll take a cinnamon pie.

I would also suggest apple crumble. That's a personal bias but I want to try yours.

[gunsandveggies]

o(*>ω<*)o!!!

One of each? I'd be happy to! Thank you!

[Some people do that, but not many, and it's always nice when someone does.]

That's one for apple crumble! To be honest, that's one of the pies I'm excited to try making.

[justchords]

i'll take the cat bookmarks. all of them

(apollo you have to eat.)

[gunsandveggies]

[All of - goddammit]

Apollo there are 20 bookmarks

They'd be $60

[She knew she should've made 50 before trying to sell these, last time she just made one each and they were gone in like 0.4 seconds.]

[matchbreaker]

Oh those mason jars are simply *darling*. I think I've been suckered in for a sale already.

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you!! o(^∀^*)o It was a joy making them!

But pictures aren't as good as the real thing! How about you come down and take a look at them for yourself?

[me_matey]

hey what can i do for u to get sum that pie 4 free?

[gunsandveggies]

[For free...]

You could take a few of the samples?

[scarlet_devil]

I'm tempted to buy everything.

[gunsandveggies]

[... Oh]

Everything??

[adoringpast]

ill have the last batch of lettuce then if no one wants them

i have to admit that you're running a pretty nice business here

[gunsandveggies]

Then I'll set that aside. The last batch of the season, just for you! (*≧∀≦*)

Thank you! It's not technically a business, but I've been running my booth for a long time now. It means a lot to hear that!

[concasse]

cute shit

got any of the pies left?

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you!! ♥

A few of each, yes! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ Would you like to set one aside?

[seizedtheday]

These pies all look amazing. I'd buy one of each if I could [ but alas, that poor college kid dilemma ]

I'll have to ask my roommate if he has a preference but we'll definitely drop by for some.

[gunsandveggies]

I appreciate the sentiment regardless!! [She gets it; a lot of her income goes elsewhere, unfortunately.]

Let me know what the preference is when you can!
I'll set it aside for you later. (≧∇≦)/

[androidheart]

If only I had the extra cash...It all looks rather delicious.

[gunsandveggies]

[Oh no, Angela...]

Well, I do have pies at home that didn't quite make the cut. I wouldn't mind giving a few slices of those!

[fabrefactions]

Are you making apple pie?

[gunsandveggies]

I received a vote for apple crumble pie, so I think I'll be making that next! (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

Would you like to see the end result? [aka have some of the pie that won't be marketable]

[truedetective]

This is lovely. I had no idea you were such a talented craftsperson.
Do you enjoy gardening?

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you!! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Very much so! I've spent nearly my whole life around a garden. Taking care of them is like second nature to me now!

[yakan]

You had me at the first picture I saw. That looks so tasty, I really want to try all of them.

[gunsandveggies]

Well, I do have samples of all of them here! I'd be happy to let you try them!

A million years late

[strawberrypunch]

Wow

Youre really good at these

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you! (o´▽`o)

Do you see anything you like?
