We already made our picks for our Must Have items. But we also wanted to give you another perspective of what you can expect at the Market. In case you haven’t gone already, there’s always tomorrow. KMommy went today and gave us the scoop:
-Very well done this year: smaller but high quality selection of booths, “concentrated goodness.”
-I loved the new venue. It was great not having to go all the way downtown. I know parking seemed confusing- but they were putting up additional signs to help us distracted moms find the elevators from parking on the hill behind the Cahaba Center.
– If you aren’t pushing a stroller- it CAN be done in an hour.(though like me- you’ll want to go back) So sling your child- and take advantage of the free bag check at the front!
-Don’t miss the 5 dollar book booth. High quality popular children’s titles- paperback 3 for 5, hardcover 5 each.
– J Allens has a great selection of decor at all price points. I saw 100 wonderful gifts- bought a few things to add to my collection of ornaments- and they were thrilled when I mentioned BirminghamMommy!
-Keep your eye out for the BirminghamMommy Picks! Easy to spot! Though they are popular booths- so be patient!
-Don’t miss Home Fields Inc for the stadium cutouts- a great gift for a sports loving husband or Grandpa!
-My favorite new trend I hadn’t seen before were the rolls of mesh ribbon for using in your wreaths and greenery. Colorful and easy to use for a pop of color indoors or out.
