Bill Pinner Footwear

Bill Pinner has been one of my window cleaning customers since my first week in business, back in 1981. They are located in Westgate Regency Shopping Center, at 3411 W. University Ave.  They are famous for hard-to-find sizes, and they have been inbusiness for 40 years. I found this YouTube commercial, featuring Duke Pinner, just today!

A Trip to Haile Village Farmers Market

This Saturday I went to the Haile Village Farmers market, in Haile Plantation. Haile Village is the commercial section of the sprawling housing development, near the corner of SW 46th Avenue and SW 91 Street. It is open from 8:30am until noon every Saturday, rain or shine. Vendors have a really sweet deal here. They tell me it is only $10 per week to set up a table here, and it’s an extra $5 to rent a canopy. That means I am applying for a space for my business, Marsh Window Cleaning!

Jewelers, candle makers, and various services may also participate, although edible creations are in the majority. All along one of Haile Village’s interior streets, in front of a conveniently placed cafe, you can find fruits, vegetables, plants, biscotti, sea food, prepared food, and other worthwhile subjects to investigate.

Most things I saw, and tasted, were locally grown, with the exception of the fish that cannot be found this far inland. One man was showing off the biggest shrimp I have ever seen. He boasted that he is there every week, and that there are regular customers who travel from across town to get his meaty catches.

Not all of my pictures came out well, so you will have to come out to see everything. Some of the regular participants include:

  • Custom Designs and Alterations by Ida Lawrence
  • Bee Sweet Apiaries, Inc. Producers of Florida Honey
  • The Green Mango, 100% Indian and Vegetarian foods
  • Embros Orchestra, Greek American Entertainers
  • Mobil Seafood Depot, Fresh Seafood
  • In The Beginning Jewelry
  • John Brothers, Guitar Lessons
  • Verna Groger, RD, Registered Dietitian

With any luck at all, I will get some of these people to write here on the blog, so they can share their expertise with you, and let you know when they are available outside of the Farmers Market.

If you’re wondering how you were selected to receive this message, consider it a blessing… we probably know you as a friend or a friend of a friend, you’re a neighbor, we attend the same church, you attended GHS sometime around 1992, or our kids are in school athletics or daycare together, or at one point we’ve worked together on some community board or in another arena…  However, I deeply apologize if you receive this notice more than once, and promise not to inundate you with many future solicitations.  If you want to meet the owners, best chance is on Saturdays, otherwise we’re happy to do business with you anytime.  Be richly blessed throughout this holiday season and the days and years to come as they will bring wonderful things to all of you.  Feel free to forward this message to all of your friends as well.

PS.  Please spread the word that there will be a Stop and Shop event at the Gainesville Women’s Club at 2809 W University Avenue this Sunday, November 16 from 12 – 5.  Several vendors will be set up to promote and sale their seasonal, holiday and other products and items. Each vendor is required to do a give-a-way item at their booth valued at $25.  There will be several food vendors and many product vendors so you can get much of your early holiday shopping done in one place.  Proceeds will benefit local organizations that help girls and women.

This is my first year attending and I’m really excited because I’ve heard a lot of good things about it.  I will have a booth set up so you can purchase and preview some of our items, and my give-a-way item will be a $25 gift card to the store…. so look for me and God Mommy’s Shop, LLC… Don’t forget to enter the drawings when you stop by my booth and others.   You do not have to be present at the time of the drawings to win, but only complete entry forms will be considered.
