Eden Place Farmers Market at Fuller Park
five ACCESSORIES is proud to support the Eden Place Farmers Market at Fuller Park every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Not only does this farmers market provide a great variety of fresh produce, flowers, arts & crafts, music and more, it also provides a great sense of community and support. On August 28th, we had the opportunity to participate in exciting events at the market.
For starters, the Green Fashion Show was a smashing hit. We saw the best of recycled and refurbished fashions! Youth Choirs also showed of their voices in amazing performances and a wonderful green cooking presentation caught the noses of many! However, probably the most exciting of all were the White House officials in attendance! Imagine being a part of the community, meeting neighbors, learning how to be green, and meeting staff from the White House! Just think, they know Obama, how cool is that?
Also, five ACCESSORIES had a table and just maybe someone from the White House left interested in a bamboo bag? Or maybe the messenger bags? We had a great time at this event and look forward to many more in the future.

Gift Insider on WGNTV.COM
Thanks to Lindsay Roberts of WGN we were almost featured on The Gift Insider but unfortunately the segment got cut short. However, our Off the Street picture frame was still nicely displayed on the table. This picture frame is made of recycled street refuse and handmade by our StreetWise vendors. Also see The Gift Insider blog.
