As an attractive entity that resides in Philly during the winter and moves to Bryn Mawr for the warmer parts of the year, the Clover Market is currently winding down its summer season. Today's brisk, October weather certainly was not a great setting for supporting the popsicle stand's wares (yes, there was a popsicle stand!), but I think that the scarves, ceramic pumpkins, cups of hot cider, and old books (ideal for fireside respites) felt quite at home. I'm a frosh at Haverford; I never knew that this market existed, but it fulfilled all my aesthetic needs today, and I simply have to recommend that everybody take advantage of its next two dates: Oct. 25 and Nov. 8.
Observe: open-air vendors' tents, food trucks, and adorable dogs.
(Warning: Here come the dogs!!)

Here is the haul that my family and I happily took home from Clover Market. Records, soaps, mugs, and more--it really is the little things that can brighten up the beginning of a new week!
If these pictures made you jealous of my exciting Sunday experience, you still have two more chances to enjoy Clover Market in 2015: October 25 and November 8. If it isn't too much trouble, bring your family; bring your dog. Everybody likes it!
