[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

[truedetective]

I see. That's a very nice skill to have. My grandmother enjoyed gardening, but I can't say I inherited her talent, unfortunately. It does seem therapeutic. Have you been selling much?

[promisedyou]

That's right! ☆

[ She leans in with quite a bit of curiosity, peering at everything with the biggest smile on her features. ]

It really is nice to see all of this in person. In fact, I think they look even nicer!

[fabrefactions]

[A good idea, then.]

What sort of time would be best for me to get there? Just after 2pm?

Unless you an extra pair of hands at the stall would be useful now, in which case I am free.

[unenvied]

Those sounds like excellent ideas. I must admit that I'm not especially creative myself, so I'm impressed by what you can come up with.

[justchords]

you said A picture so i'll bring over about 20, does that sound good

also thanks haru you're a savior to mankind

[admiringly]

i do!! and i'll appreciate whatever is left!!
i'm expecting all your goods to sell fast because they're just that good!
hmm... i don't have an idea set in mind yet
but i do have friends with birthdays coming up and christmas is almost around the corner so i wanted to see if this was an option before i planned anything!

[missingache]

[Sorry your best friend is from Hawaii and used to not cold winters. Which is hilarious since the school Shiori had gone to had bitter winters. Can't take the preference for warm weather out of a boy...]

Cider? Mmm... Yeah. Sure. I can get some. [And he'll use his own money for it since the point of this was to help Haru make money. He puts the bookmarks down and gets up, sauntering off for a little while to procure their drinks. And from the bag he's carrying between his teeth, something else as well. Putting the cups down, he takes the bag and opens it.]

There was a stand selling roasted chestnuts! Want some?

[yakan]

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

A million years late

[strawberrypunch]

Wow

Youre really good at these

[concasse]

now i want two ngl

[seizedtheday]

For starters, he agrees with me that they all look amazing.

[ there might have been a few jokes about all they can afford is smelling it ]

But that pumpkin is calling our name. If you do eventually make the apple crumble? I'll definitely be back for that as well.

[gunsandveggies]

[She giggles a little, a light blush coming to her face. She hears it every time, but it's still humbling to hear.]

Thank you! They look even better when there's a candle inside!

[She holds up one of the jars that has one to demonstrate. Granted, it's one of those fake tealight candles, but it still shows off how it looks when there's a light inside.]

[gunsandveggies]

Glowing galaxy eggs...

[She guesses she can see it? Though it's a relief to hear that they're safe; it means her friends aren't going to keel over any second.]

I'd say they look more like the sun?

[...]

Or you could say they're sunny side up eggs!

[gunsandveggies]

[She laughs in turn, reaching around to grab the pie she'd been saving just for Yosuke. It's one of the nicer looking ones, though they do all look great, as he said.]

Thank you, Yosuke! [She holds out the pie for him to inspect.] Though, as it turns out, you're right! There is a pie with your name on it.

[fiddlestick]

[Was that a pun? Elliot.......likes puns. Oh no]

Hahaha! Cute! ☆*･゜ﾟ･*(^O^)/*･゜ﾟ･*☆

Though people might confuse them for the other type of sunny side up eggs.

What about "Sunshine Up Eggs"?

[gunsandveggies]

I've been doing this ever since I was young, so it's given me time to develop my sense of creativity!

[And, well. A chunk of her finances comes from this, so she better get those creative juices flowing, or she won't have enough to pay some of her bills or future crafts. Her mother's finances already go towards everything else.]

It's like art, I think! The more you practice at it, the better you get.

[gunsandveggies]

[Wow someone who doesn't immediately disown their friendship as soon as she makes a pun, what a catch]

☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆

Or even Glowing Side Up! That way Aki can have partial credit!

[fiddlestick]

(*⌒▽⌒*)θ～♪

Hehe that's perfect! I love it!
Got any ideas for an egg drop soup? It glows too.

[gunsandveggies]

He is a very handsome cat! (*≧ω≦*) I'd be honored to make a bookmark in his likeness! You'll just have to send me a few pictures of him for reference. [And because she wants pics of his cat, but that's not important.]

No, Akira. :(

[gunsandveggies]

[It's not even winter yet, you fool. While Shiori's gone, Haru arranges her stand a little, just to straighten it up and fill in the holes. He comes back just as she's sitting down again, and she perks up from the bag.]

Roasted chestnuts! I'd love to have some!

[She holds out her hands for them] Cross that off the list of things to sell, then. [She has a sort of policy - other than her own harvest, try not to sell duplicates, both for her sake and the other seller's.]

[gunsandveggies]

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

[gunsandveggies]

Thank you! (o´▽`o)

Do you see anything you like?

[gunsandveggies]

I do still have samples of it! Maybe that'll be enough to satisfy the temptation?

[scarlet_devil]

In that case, a little sample of it shouldn't hurt things.
