Thank you to "the purple shop" for creating such a wonderful Christmas memory for our family!

I mentioned how difficult it was to find a breakfast place that did not have a wait on the weekends. A lovely couple next to us introduced themselves as they were leaving the restaurant as Bill and Susan and recommended we visit the Third Day Market kitchen and bakery on Saturday morning. They spoke so highly of the place we asked if they owned it and they replied no, but that they were lucky enough to work there. We decided to follow thier advice and had breakfast. We enjoyed three different breakfast bowls and one of us chose an early lunch of turkey and avocado sandwich with the soup of the day, roasted red pepper. All meals were delicious and the service was lovely; from the girls behind the counter to our new friend Bill who was in the kitchen and brought us our order when we sat outside. The market outside of town is under some improvements that we can't wait to see when completed, and our visit was so nice we returned that afternoon to have ice cream that is brought down from the Amish in PA. The whole experience was quaint, delicious, and super friendly. We can't wait to go back!

The clerk working the counter was very friendly, and their pricing was extremely fair, especially for the quality of the hats we got.

She asked a clerk and was told that the sweater on display was the only one available. As the clerk did not offer further assistance, I reached up to undrape the sweater from a t-shirt so that my friend could try it on. When I did so, the clerk came running across the store screeching, "Don't mess up my display!" I'm sorry, but I thought the purpose of a store that sells clothing was to entice customers to come in, try on the merchandise, and then buy it. If that's the case, someone should educate the clerk with the abrasive customer service skills. I will NEVER return to this store!
