red lantern has been in a deep deep sleep!

after a very long hibernation red lantern is letting you know that the olive tree market has just started a blog! also!! red lantern had hoped to have a mid year winter solstice market but the powers that be wouldn't allow us to use the market space. very sad as there were lots of great collaborations in the pipeline and it would have been very exciting! for now, we are meeting with the people with the keys to the city on july 2nd to try and gain permission to run red lantern over summer. stayed tuned for more info on that soon. for now it would be great if you could let people know about the olive tree blog!!!
