School's Out for the Summer!

What a great spring season for Clover it was.  Three sold out Markets, a successful expansion into fine crafts and handmade items, wonderful support from our buyers and the community at large, and three beautiful weather weekends.  I really couldn't ask for more than that!

After I take a little breather (and get my kids finished up with school) I'll get some more of my favorite photos and a more extensive recap posted soon, but in the meantime, feel free to head on over to our Flickr set for some of my unedited snapshots from the day.
Don't forget that our fall dates have been set: Sept. 18, Oct. 16, and Nov. 6 - same time, same place.

We're accepting applications to participate as a seller with early bird discounts through July 11th (just click on the Apply tab above), and after that, on a space-available basis.  So if you're interested, please get your applications in as soon as possible - the application is online and takes just a few minutes to complete.  Based on the applications we've received to date, I can tell you it's going to be another stellar Clover season next fall.

See you soon!  Enjoy the summer everyone.

Final Spring Market THIS SUNDAY - 60 Confirmed Sellers & Our Biggest Market Yet

Our sellers are motivated to clear out their inventory before we break for the summer, so we're packing the lot with antiques, vintage clothing & jewelry, original art, fine crafts, up-cycled items, and one-of-a-kind handmade.  There's something for everyone and every price point at Clover, so make room for your "lucky finds" and bring the family for a day of fun in the sun.


We'll have live music by Strolling Violins from 11-1 (violin and acoustic guitar duo) and Seve (southern influenced blues/folk/jazz) from 1:30-3:30.  And as always, we'll be featuring food and drinks from Ardmore's own Carlino's, Firinji, Milkboy, Peace a Pizza, and Taste of Olive and, for the kids, free crafts organized by Sweet Mabel.  


Don't forget to swing by Green Fest, an eco-inspired festival around the corner on Rittenhouse Place.  Organized by the Ardmore Initiative and State Rep. Tim Briggs, it will include a plant sale, electronics and mercury recycling, paper shredding, collection drives, children's activities, and more music & food.

Just to whet your appetite, here's a little sneak peek of our new seller group.  The complete sellers list can be accessed by clicking on the "sellers" tab above.

For the super organized early planners out there, the fall Clover dates have been set: Sept. 18, Oct. 16, and Nov. 6.  Same time, same place!  The seller applications are rolling in, and I'm expecting another stellar season based on what I'm seeing so far.  

Hope to see you Sunday!
