a glimpse at some of our talented vendors…

unique handmade glass beads and jewelry from noodlesaurus

our amazing friend, liz, chatting with guests about some fabulous "baked" goods

a closer look at kiffal's, red velvet cupcakes, old-fashioned pan pops, almond rochers, and an assortment of cookies...how lucky am i to call the baker my mom

necklaces anyone?? a perfect occasion for a "girls day out" or an opportunity for the guys out there to buy a gift for that special someone...i kill myself with these sappy comments, but they are so true

if these pictures don’t have you counting down the days until may 1…

where else can you find "kiffAl's" (named for and by yours truly, ally) with my grammy's dough recipe and fillings...wait for it...made FROM SCRATCH?? sorry...i couldn't resist!

the “snack bar” at FROMSCRATCH, featuring sweets and treats prepared by the parker girls in addition to savory soups made by our own french culinary institute trained chef, allison evans (known to some as “the other allison” or the mother of the most adorable red head on the planet)

did i mention that traci is talented? not only does she have a full time job with the popular runner's world magazine, she also is responsible for ALL design of FROMSCRATCH, AND sells her own "crafts" from jewelry to home accessories/decorations at the show...yikes!

hello again…

can you say tasteful? designed by our own pro, traci conrad-nicholas

it only seemed appropriate to allow our fearless leader, THE pam parker, to have the first word on our newly revised “fromscratch” blog…

hello, FROMSCRATCH indiependent market fans!

after the amazing success of the november 14th debut, traci, ally and i crashed and took a few days to regroup ( i know it seems like a few months now…but who’s counting?)

anyway, we are psyched, organized and ready for FROMSCRATCH 2! at this date we are about 3/4 booked with amazing craftspeople (hard to call them vendors, because it seems so nondescript and impersonal when their work is anything but!) we have some returning talent as well as new, but equally awesome folks. we can actually book a few more than in november, because we can use the outdoor pavilion as well. if you find yourself thinking, “i should be there!” or “i know someone, who would be perfect!”, please send them our way. we’re always looking for alternative, creative additions to our wonderful event.

peace and stay warm (especially for those of you battling this crazy storm).
