Changes! @joyceseppala And @fritzlehmberg have left the @tbaymarket find out the details below! #Repost @tbaymarket ... Thunder Bay Country Market The impact COVID has had on our small businesses at the Market has been varied. Difficult decisions are being made daily by our vendors in all aspects of their businesses - changes for pivoting and discovering how to work in this new environment. Joyce Seppala of Joyce Seppala Designs @joyceseppala and her husband Fritz Lehmberg of Early Snows Pottery @fritzlehmberg made the difficult decision to close their Market booth and today packed up their van. The sky reflected the mood as we remembered their almost 10 years for Joyce and 13 years for Fritz at the Market. Fritz’s handthrown mugs will still be available in the Market Store. Joyce’s clothing pieces are unique to each wearer so contact her via her website to make a personal shopping appointment. Joyceseppaladesigns.com They will be missed and we wish them well and hope to welcome them back again soon. #thunderbay #tbaymarket #tbaymarketlove
