[1] local farmer here for her income

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:

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

It shows! They have so much joy in them!

I definitely want some of those mason jars.
You think fake candles will work alright?

Oh, and some produce too!

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?

Great! (/^▽^)/ Now that the fog's gone, I can do night performances again. Those jars would make for the perfect mood lighting!

I'll take the cranberries, raspberries, and parsnips. I have recipes I wanna try with all those.
fiddlestick: (ahaha)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-11-04 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe, a bunch of different spots. I still have to figure out what place draws the most traffic in November, but I'll let you know! But I also do weekend performances at Club Sunshine, and sometimes Catmosphere!

Sure! I got one for parsnip soup, cranberry sauce, and some raspberry cookies! You want those?

I actually like the gray one quite a bit, actually! Should I come by and pick them up today, then?
fiddlestick: (headscratch)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-11-04 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, yeah good point. I'm not looking forward to winter. Winter is no good for street performers.

[He feels you Haru. Unless he knows for a for-sure win spot, he doesn't even try to perform January or February.]

I don't mind at all! I'm trying to expand my cooking too, so it'd be fun to have a friend trying these recipes too. We can compare!

[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.]
