I hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day!  The snow was kind enough to hold off until after our market was over. Plenty of shoppers were here to stock up before the storm - and to make purchases for their valentines!  The Lowell Humane Society brought Rosie - she is a beautiful 3 year old Puggle that was definitely full of energy, and up to the task of entertaining the shoppers. Two wonderful 17 year olds were at the market selling wristbands for $1 to support To Write Love On Her Arms - it's wonderful to see teenagers so engaged and have such generous souls. 
Enjoy the pictures!
