Linen Building Sunday Market

It's time to start thinking about those Christmas lists, and the Linen Building Sunday Market is the best place to find one-of-a-kind gifts for all of your friends and family. The November Sunday Market runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Linen Building, 1402 W. Grove St. in Downtown Boise's Linen District.

The Sunday Market creators will be stocked with all sorts of unique, locally-made gifts: arts and crafts, jewelry, food, even handprint art and portrait photography to give Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa a memento they'll cherish for years.

In addition to exciting new Creators, the Linen Building Sunday Market is honored to welcome the Idaho Youth Ranch to the November market. The Youth Ranch will collect coats as part of its annual Coats for Kids drive. Market visitors are asked to bring new or clean, gently used coats with them to donate to the drive, which helps assure that in-need Treasure Valley children are properly clothed for the cold winter ahead.

You can also help by purchasing goods and services from the Sunday Market Creators, as a portion of market proceeds will be donated to the Idaho Youth Ranch. For more information on the Idaho Youth Ranch, visit youthranch.org.

When your belly starts to rumble, take a break from shopping and enjoy a delicious brunch made by Open Table, Boise's newest catering company. Open Table is committed to providing fresh, scratch-made foods that are beautifully presented. The company focuses on local and organic ingredients to bring you the best flavors possible while reducing our impact on the environment.

The buffet-style Sunday Market brunch, served all day, includes:

Baked Vanilla French Toast: Thick slices of Zeppole's Village Loaf bread soaked overnight in a creamy cage-free egg and pure vanilla mixture, then baked till golden.
Eggs Florentine: Baked cage-free egg dish with fresh spinach and sharp cheddar.
Scrambled Eggs: Fluffy, cage-free scrambled eggs.

Live music will be provided by singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Thomas Paul, who was recently named one of Boise's top musicians and singers. Adept at a wide variety of musical styles from rock to country to jazz to Latin, Paul is an in-demand session player and instructor in addition to an engaging solo artist. Hear music from his newest album, the 10-song genre-crossing affair House on Fire, and learn more about Paul at thomaspaulmusic.com.
