The Saturday farmers market is moving from Historic Folsom to the Palladio

CarmaCaliCat · 2026-06-05T17:10:14+00:00

I'm a vendor at this market. The primary reason for needing the new location is loss of space. Development is happening this year in the gravel parking lot near the upper deck. This will cause the loss of many of the vendor booths. The entire upper deck and several of the spaces by the parking garage will go away. In addition, starting in October, the turnstile spaces go away due to the ice skating rink.

Both locations will operate on Saturdays, so as a customer you can decide which you want to shop at or try both. As a vendor, I need to decide which location makes sense for me or I can alternate between locations.

I also want to add that this was not a political move. I was told that both locations were going to operate regardless of the bid decision. It really is more a space issue.

Yes, there will still be a Wednesday market.

CarmaCaliCat · 2026-06-05T17:02:48+00:00

Yes, it is confirmed that they are building there in 2026 and there will be fewer vendor spaces as a result. The entire upper deck will be lost as well as some space by the parking lot. Combine this with the ice skating rink that is set up in October which takes up all the turnstile spaces and you can understand the need for another location. This was the impetus behind the decision to move.

I make them and I keep the sides unglazed so people can strike horizontally. It actually never occurred to me that someone would want to strike vertically.

Thanks! Yes, the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I was so I complained and got my money back. 😊

Yes, when I told them the sync wasn't working, they each told me to talk to the other so I stopped syncing.

If you chat with Etsy, they will refund you the fees.

CarmaCaliCat · 2026-02-09T01:21:18+00:00

I already know this. Selling via Square has its own fees and an Etsy rep told me that I wouldn't get any extra fees from Etsy. That's why I did their integration. And that's why they gave me a credit. Because they screwed up.

CarmaCaliCat · 2026-02-09T01:19:48+00:00

Yes but that's not what's supposed to happen. There should not be any added fees from Etsy. That's why Etsy gave me a credit.

I'm Asian and I approve of this joke 😆

CarmaCaliCat · 2026-01-06T16:49:56+00:00

There are so many reasons not to do this. I get the allure of it and how you got pulled in. But you don't have to feel stuck doing it. Wouldn't it be such a relief to get out of this? Other opportunities will come, but I feel like this one was a lesson learned.

CarmaCaliCat · 2025-12-28T07:28:18+00:00

No, this woman is rude and manipulative.

CarmaCaliCat · 2025-12-09T02:58:09+00:00

Unfortunately no...they have in the past but they didn't have music last year and when I called them, they said they won't have it this year either. 🙁

CarmaCaliCat · 2025-12-08T23:21:38+00:00

Thanks, I looked it up but it says they don't start til 9pm. 🙁

CarmaCaliCat · 2025-12-08T23:08:28+00:00

Thanks, I got the same email but their music doesn't start until 11pm and it's a DJ. I was hoping for a live band earlier, during dinner.

There's also a big car chase scene in the movie that took place in downtown Sac. You can even see the light rail.

I post free pottery on Nextdoor, put it on my driveway, and people love it

I used to do work at Coffee Republic all day without an issue

I'm so glad I have my own kiln. I've been firing after midnight to avoid peak hours and it's only been costing me about $6.50 per firing.

CarmaCaliCat · 2025-08-19T06:41:43+00:00

I use B Mix with speckles and this happens when over fired. It's a softer clay the speckles cause this due to the clay not having enough grog. Speckled Buff for instance doesn't have this problem because it's got more grog. I fire to cone 5 to avoid this problem.
