Grange Organic Market



The Grange Organic Market is held every second Saturday from 9am - 2pm at the Grange Uniting Church hall and grounds on Beach St, Grange.

I am pleased to be involved in the market not only as a permanent stall holder, but I am also currently working on a new website and marketing to promote the market.

It's a great day out, and a perfect place to buy the freshest South Australian produce including, veges, fruit, coffee, herbs, dried fruit, nuts, wine, honey, eggs, olive oil, bread, pasta, legumes, chicken, lamb and beef, spices - all organic! Produce is straight from the farm so you buy direct from the growers at a very good price.

Besides great food you will also find organic linen, recycled greeting cards (MessageMark), natural cleaning products, cosmetics, soap, body products and more.

Come on down to the market this Saturday, do your shopping or just pop in for a yummy lunch and coffee. Bring cash and a carry bag - EFTPOS is also available.

WHEN: Every second Saturday
WHERE: 5 Beach St, Grange
TIME: 9am - 2pm
ONLINE: www.grangeorganicmarket.com.au (website under construction)

Photo Shoot...


My cute fluffy neighbour kindly volunteered to model one of my Christmas gift tags. Shadow (alias Tinker - well that is what I call him) comes to visit every day for a chat and occasionally he might get a wee drink as well. I think Tinker's owner thinks I'm a bit weird. I phoned her offering to feed him if she goes on a holiday. Do you think that is strange or just friendly? My husband thinks the owner might organise a restraining order against me!

Time Tested Beauty Tips

Today's *MondayMotivator by a friend of mine Glenn Edley featured this poem and I thought I would share it with you.

The following poem by Sam Levenson was reportedly Audrey Hepburn’s favourite. Ms Hepburn is one of the classiest and beautiful woman ever to grace the screen and from what I know of her I can see why she might have chosen this as a favourite.

Time Tested Beauty Tips
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk alone.
We leave you a tradition with a future.
The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed.
Never throw anybody out.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
Your 'good-ole-days' are ahead of you.
May you have many of them.

*SO WHAT IS MONDAYMOTIVATOR?
MondayMotivator is a free weekly inspirational email to promote power thinking.
Written by Glenn Edley it leaves his desk every Monday including holidays. Over the years he has given his thoughts on anything from; "Hospitals and Head Injuries" to "The meaning of Christmas" to "What my cellphone taught me" and "The Lost Arts". He hasn't missed a Monday for over 5 years. To get free weekly inspiration from a friend of mine click here to subscribe...

NEW! Stockist Spotlight


I've just added a new section to the MessageMark website "Stockist Spotlight". I thought it would be nice to create a special page dedicated to my stockists. Kind of like a review of each stockist, the "Stockist Spotlight" will change monthly so everyone will get the opportunity to be in the spotlight!
