Love my products and want to shop? Red Persimmon's retail home is on the weekends at the Minneapolis Farmer's Market Annex. www.farmersmarketannex.com
Come on by and shop, talk with me about your travels and love of textiles, buy some flowers and vegetables and have a bite to eat. We love having company and I love seeing my customers often, many of you who have become friends.
Interested in one of my two tours to India? Pick up a brochure, ask me questions and maybe your dream of an adventure will come true in 2018.
