Loon Bay’s Saturday Market is always a hive of activity with a plethora of gift ideas. In addition to regular vendors of knitted goods, glassware, woodwork and preserves, there were stunning glow-in-the-dark magnetic bookmarks for $8 and Silva Lane handmade natural soaps, which does custom orders.
At the Farmers’ Market opposite, I found Alamaz Durand’s divine cookies as well as Easthom Acres deliciously unusual jams, and CEEDS flowering plants.
Both markets continue at 10 a.m. Saturdays until Sept. 3. The Farmer’s Market closes at 2 p.m. Loon Bay is open until 3 p.m.
