According to their Facebook page, the “St. Pete Indie Market is a monthly makers faire showcasing the best of all things indie, located in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg.” And according to The St. Pete Indie Market Website, their mission is “To promote local arts and culture and to engage and empower our community towards positive growth.” Stated a bit wider than I like to see for their formal mission statement, it’s still full of that good “Hippie – Let’s Save the World” feeling. A feeling that I love to see, hear and experience. One I also help spread, along with my pals and fellow members at Keep St. Pete Local, plus always via my weekly fun and productive club for business owners and Entrepreneurs, on Thursday Nights, the Entrepreneur Social Club. It’s about connecting the world’s Entrepreneurs and solving our problems. All while having a great time. Like today, bike riding throughout gorgeous downtown St. Pete and eating delicious, well read on, you’ll see…
Running into cool, local business owners O’Berry’s Succulents, who, according to their FB page “are the O’Berry’s, a father and daughter team who propagate succulent dry gardens in St. Petersburg, Fl. We believe that plants bring joy and calmness to our busy lives and we want to share that with you! Our product is unique and one of kind, using up-cycled and vintage containers to create beautiful dry gardens”
Succulents make great house plants, and gifts. Much easier and better smelling than a cat any day. Just saying.
It was easy to make new friends with the lovely ladies of The HOLE doughnuts. They used an ancient Kung-Fu technique, one that I was unfamiliar with, and broke my gluten free fast (for a moment), “forcing” me to taste (then buy) samples of their AMAZING and ALL NATURAL doughnuts. Ohhh My Goooooooooooooooood!! MMMMM!!!! Follow the Hole Doughnuts on Instagram too, no calories found there, really! =D
See the Indie Market moves around a bit, and it’s a great collection of many unique local vendors, the kind that I LOVE TO SUPPORT.
