Here is the tale of the 13 Pesky Gnomes…
Thirteen pesky gnomes in a market one day,
Causing mischief and trouble in a sneaky kind of way.
They hid in the baskets, behind jars of jam,
Swiping free samples and slices of ham.

One rode a cabbage like a wild green steed,
Another played tricks with a bag of bird seed.
They danced on the counters, slid down the scales,
Tangled in aprons and knocked over pails.

They ducked in the teapots, they dove in the rice,
They swapped all the labels—not once, but twice!
Shoppers were baffled, the grocer just groaned,
“These gnomes are a menace!” he loudly moaned.

But just as the mayor was called to the scene,
The gnomes vanished quick—nowhere to be seen.
So if you hear giggles near the apples and loaves…
Keep your eyes peeled for those 13 gnomes!

🚨‼️ANNOUNCEMENT‼️🚨
We have another new vendor in our shop AND we are finally ready to post our shop hours, which will start next week!
Welcome our newest vendor, Moo Too, to our shop!!
Please see our phot for our store hours. We decided to stay open on Tuesday evenings so we can be open the same evening as the Dayton Lumber Store.
Stop by and take a peak! We still have a bit of construction, so please excuse my mess. I love the history of buildings, so I exposed the wall in our building that used to be the wall outside when our building was a drive-up soda, burger, and ice cream shop called Bohlkes Drive-In (or the But Hut). It has a red, white, and blue sun painted on the wall and I know some Daytonites will remember it. I also took down the drop-ceiling to expose the tall ceiling… but with every construction (or deconstruction) project, there is a little mess before it is all completed. Especially when you are one middle aged women doing all the work. 😅🤣
