FIELD TRIP - Clover Market
Last year I heard so many wonderful things about Clover Market but had conflicts with almost every date. So yesterday I fought my way through the traffic of Philadelphia to get to Ardmore and see things for myself. It was a lovely day to be out and about, so lovely that I made it a family affair with Tom and Lucy. I met some new local vendors with handmade and vintage wares, including Made by Liddy, whose paper Kusadama balls made me want to get an early start to Christmas shopping (I’ve done it before).
I even loved her signage, which was the nailhead-and-string effect that I’ve been noticing a lot lately. Nevertheless, Liddy’s booth was simple and inspiring - I’m looking forward to what she cooks up in the future!

I heart you
Hello there.
I am a pretty sarcastic, no-nonsense type of girl. But nothing puts a twinkle in my eye like good, honest, smart design. General Merriment is my happy place – where I share modern and sustainable design news.
Other things that make my happy, in no particular order:
- Cardigans. I tend to freak out when I’m too hot or cold. We’re all in better company when I dress in layers.
- Coffee. Particularly La Columbe - it’s local and delicious. And I feel smarter with a hot drink in my hand.
- Vases and vessels. I own more than I know what to do with, yet still accumulate more.
- Prep bowls. Everything is better mise en place.
- Rock concerts. Because nothing compares to the energy of a crowd belting out the lyrics together.
I currently live in New Jersey (thisclose to Philadelphia) with my husband, Tom, our daughter, Lucy, and our cats, David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.
