Vendor Spotlights: Roxie Ashby & Broc Hoggan


As promised, here are the first of many Vendor Spotlights to come. Without vendors there would be no market and we are especially grateful for all of the participants who have been consistent. Also we want our community to be aware of all the great crafts products and fresh produce you can find each weekend when you come to visit us at the PCGMB (Saturday afternoons from 3pm-6pm between 100 N. 100 E in Providence). . 

Two of our vendors, Roxie and Broc are doing double duty as volunteers! Both have added tremendously to our success by helping to get this Market up and running so I thought they definitely deserved the first spotlight spots. A huge thanks to both of you for all your efforts!


Hi,  my name is Roxie Ashby and am a committee member and vendor.  "Times of Yore" is the name of my business.  I make and sell wood toys.  I make European Solitaire/Marble Solitaire, climbing bears, tops, candy dispensers, catapults, African Tongue drums, and aprons for young children.  I am very excited to be committee member of the Providence Market and Bazaar.  




Hi, my name is Broc Hoggan.  I am a vendor and the junior manager over the 8-17 year old vendors. I sell duct tape treasures such as wallets and flower pens.  I am also in charge of finding volunteer musicians to play or sing at the bazaar every Saturday between 3:15 and 6:00pm.  I need 4-5 people or groups each week.   If you are interested in fine tuning your performing skills as a solo artist or in groups, please come to the bazaar and talk to me

Cabbage Confessions: No.1- Zero to Three

When I volunteered to be a part of the committee to put together this market, or bazaar, I didn't expect to be nominated as the official blogger. Confession No.1 : my success with blogging is zero to three and I was a little apprehensive at first to take this task on. However, the fear that I will win the world record for most failed blog attempts and that it is now a responsibility rather than just a hobby has been motivating. So far, I've proved to be more dedicated to making frequent posts, and it looks like I have turned over a  new leaf! 

Since I am feeling a little more optimistic about my job, I thought it was about time to add a little personality and make a formal introduction. Then, as I started typing various bits of information about myself, it dawned on me - making my own introduction was one of  the reasons I hated blogging in the first place! I always feel like I'm saying, "Hello, World! Let me tell you all about myself."

It's not that I don't understand that is precisely why people blog in the first place - to tell about themselves, interests, causes, etc. and it's perfectly okay to toot your own horn a little bit. But there is a fine art to tooting your blog horn and not blowing it! To be successful at the dreaded introduction post, I realized I needed to take a new approach. I decided that instead of  blah, blah, blah-ing about who I am, etc. I thought the best way to get to know me is by just plain ol' being myself and letting you get to know me along the way via my posts. I am calling them Cabbage Confessionals - which is perfect, because believe me - I have a lot I can confess! LOL!
