All the 🍂 FALL 🍂 things! 🥰
Today at JBohnBishop Mercantile: our Lakeside Local Market is on rain or shine! ☔️
Step back in to 1692 and the Salem Witch Trials era with our most recent main display featuring this month’s JBohnBishop Book Club selection, Freida McFadden’s ✨brand new✨, The Witch.
Even though our official launch of Blind Date with a Book was last weekend and ELEVEN were immediately gone, we got busy and wrapped twelve more to fill the dating pool! 🤭
📖 These books are thoughtfully curated by J Bohn and put together with the help of literally every member of our team from the beautiful wrapping, to stuffing each package with chocolates, bookmarks, pens, highlighters, sticker patches, book review cards— topped off with a little dried baby’s breath. From formatting the genre & “clue” cards, to printing, cutting and attaching to the back of the package, we can say without a doubt that these were most definitely not just thrown together! 🥰
We think our biggest hit of the day is going to be Margie's Coffee’s adorable Mini Charcuterie Pumpkins! These turned out amazing! 🙌
Other sweet finds you’ll see at J Bohn’s today:
Smith Mountain Lake Cookie Shop
Half Acre Farm
Happy Bees Apiary
Fairy Hair Extraordinaire
Lake Life Lavender & Herb
First Light Coffee Co (who will be handling all espresso fixes from 10-1pm with Margie’s offering the rest of her regular menu of Lotus energy, boba teas, & dirty sodas!)
The Pink Peony will be joining us at roughly noon since it’s too wet to be outside with her welder at a previously scheduled event.
Grab your rain jacket and let’s celebrate this cozy fall day together! 🍂🌧️📚☕️🛍️
PS: The Ragged Edge pulled through when our sweatshirts were majorly delayed and got the mallard duck sweatshirts finished with the beautiful patchwork! 🥹
