Kristin's Cookie Chronicles

10/17/2026

Today's weather was definitely not what we had hoped for, and we did unfortunately deal with a lot of rain today during the Bradenton Public Market. However, we wanted to express our immense gratitude to those of you who STILL showed up to shop local today! 🙌

Sometimes as a small business you have absolutely amazing days, just okay days, not so great days, but they are never truly 100% BAD days (I suppose under crazy circumstances that statement might be false though). You gotta try to find the positives of the day and make the best of it all! The cookie fam got to shop the market extra during the slow times and lesser rain periods, and we also got to meet some of the new "friendors" ❤️

👀 Stay tuned for this week's market haul, because it'll be a wonderful one! We will also be posting some leftover cookies available for pickup at a discount tomorrow in 34207. Post with details on that forthcoming as well 🍪

We're all set up and ready for you cookie lovers at the Bradenton Public Market today from 9-2!

🍪 We have FOUR flavors today & mini tins 👇

🎃 Stuffed Pumpkin Cheesecake
🍁 Maple Pecan
☕ Iced Chai Latte
🪵 $3 Scott's Smoke Barrel INDIVIDUALS
☯️ $5 Mini Black & White 5ct Tins

📦 We have some of our mixed 6pack and 12pack boxes too, which contain some of each of the 3 main flavors (Scott's Smoke Barrel not included in boxes of "The Mix")

So far the rain has gone away and the sun is out, it seems like the weather is clearing up 🌞 But if the rain does begin again later, as long as it's considered safe to still be here the market will still be here until 2pm ☔ If anything changes we will be sure to post it, and the Bradenton Public Market page posts updates in a timely manner as well. It's gonna be a great day, come on down and shop local ❤️ 🛍️

Come see us all tomorrow and shop local 🛍️ ❤️

We know that sometimes the weather looks cloudy with a chance of rain. Last Saturday they predicted the same, and it ended up being a beautiful market day for us. All of our Friendors are small, local businesses who rely on us being open. We will always try our best to be open, unless the conditions become unsafe. Having said that, our plan is to open as usual tomorrow, Oct. 17, 9am-2pm. Please come out and show our Friendors some love! And stay tuned to our Facebook for any last minute weather updates.
