What a month! Campobello’s Family Fun Day was a raging success. Family came from all around to help with the booth and store. It was awesome to meet so many new people in the community and perhaps introduce them to our old-timey general store for the first time. Campobello T-shirts flew off the racks… we have a lot of small-town pride! For the month of May, we opened from 1-4 on Sunday afternoons. This has proven so popular we’ll probably continue it throughout the summer, starting June 8th and beyond. For now, we’re prepping for our upcoming flea market on June 7th. There are no more spaces for vendors in June, but future months do have openings. Please come shop! Jeaneen is off having new adventures of her own, and hopefully we get a full report soon.
Flea Market Vendors
| We want to be fully set up by 9am, so please try to arrive on June 7th between 7:30-8:30 for setup Saturday morning. Spaces will be marked off with flags. There are two loading zones: Between the buildings, and from the carport. We will be out to help direct traffic by 7:30. After unloading, please move your vehicles to Campobello Community Church’s parking lot, as they have graciously offered their space for us. We have to be sure we nor our shoppers block the exit routes for the fire department. A food truck will be arriving between the buildings for lunch. Let’s make this a fun and safe day for our community! |
Local author Donna Thornton’s newest book based on our Landrum farm friends has hatched and arrived just in time for Mother’s Day – but makes a great gift anytime. Follow the journey of Ruby the hen who longs to be a mother, but will she ever get the chance?
Our latest order from Watkins has arrived, and we are fully stocked on flavorings and extracts. New additions include bitters (aromatic and orange) and coffee flavor syrups (caramel and vanilla). Watkins has been a leader in the flavor industry since 1868 and remains popular. Try some today!
Our whipped beef tallow moisturizer from Lady May has been flying off the shelves! Customers like that it doesn’t smell “beefy” and that it’s extra “whippy.” If you’ve been looking for a back-to-nature gentle moisturizer without chemicals, this is for you.
Our friend John is here on summer break through July to help in the shop – and has been doing awesome. This store can be pretty overwhelming at times, but he showed up ready to learn and work! Thanks for making him feel welcome.
Don’t forget that we’re your local source for Lodge cast iron + accessories and Farmhouse Paint!
Farmhouse Paint is an amazing product designed to cover old furniture without the need of extensive sanding or priming. Unlike chalk paint, it has a smoother texture. Farmhouse Paint comes in a huge variety of colors and covers everything from wood to metal to concrete. 8oz tubs are a convenient and affordable size for small furniture projects!
We now carry a full range of Lodge cast iron products and accessories, including everything you need to keep your cast iron clean. If you’re looking to make a switch to healthier cooking or you’re already a “seasoned” cast iron user (ha), come see what we can do to help you cook with iron! We also have Lodge’s cornbread mixes.
| We’ve brought in (and sent out!) an overwhelming amount of vintage and antiques this month. To see daily additions, please stop in to see what’s new or follow our Facebook page where we post regularly at https://www.facebook.com/CountryPeddlerAntiques. |
| Thanks for supporting our store, and we’ll see ya soon! -Joseph |
