Do you have any stories from the March Market? Here's our picture-story...

A NOTE FROM ONE OF OUR REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET REGULARS

Really really free market is a great way of donating and getting stuff one needs. We have been at the market since summer and enjoyed this wonderful initiative. The skirt from the picture attached was from the February market. We used it for a costume for a charity show that will take place this coming week-end. Thank you to all the volunteers and market participants for making this happen. Lori and Rosi

 

Do you have impressions, stories, lucky finds to share with us? We'd love to hear!

Market stories.... We want yours!

Each of our markets is full of people stories and nice little moments that would not have happened were it not for the market.

Some of those best moments take place when someone walks in with an item, and someone else who happens to be there, exclaims, "just I what I've been looking for!" There are many things we only buy for others as a gift but consider it a luxury for ourselves... But in the market you might just find that "luxury" item for yourself, free!

One of the memorable moments this past market happened when a girl of about 10 brought some of her things to the market. Five minutes after she left, a woman took many of those things, saying that they were exactly what the orphanage she was going to visit in Taiwan was looking for. I wish the girl and her had met one another!

And then there was this Spanish  man at our market, just off the plane a week ago!  His girlfriend had arrived from Spain couple of months ago for a job in Toronto, and visiting the Really Really Free Market was one of the first things she did here. She immediately knew she wanted to volunteer at the market. And so when her boyfriend arrived to join her, three of them-herself, her boyfriend, and their beloved dog-came to the market. You will see the pooch's photo in the slide show of the previous post.

DID YOU MISS OUR LAST MARKET? FEAR NOT, WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE IN A MONTH!

COMING UP: OUR 8TH MARKET!

Time flies.... This Saturday we will be having our 8th consecutive monthly Really Really Free Market!

Some friendly reminders:

• Items in good, usable and working condition, and reasonably clean, please.
• You can take anything from the market up until 6 pm, but please bring your items before 4 pm. Some of the stuff brought after 4 pm. is not taken by market-goers. Since we have no storage space, we must take them to charities.Transportation to charities can be a challenge, so we hope you will kindly bring your items before 4 pm, but continue to take whatever you wish up to the end of the market.
• Don't forget that Campbell Park also has Pleasure Skating going on, and a lovely community supper sometime after 5pm. Check out their website on the right hand side panel. >>>

Happy freecycling. Hope you see you all at the market!
