Bazaar à GoGo
This one-of-a-kind mobile boutique—the county’s first and only fashion truck—was launched by Bedford resident Marion Siegel, founder of home-goods website Hivernage, to showcase Bohemian clothing and accessories she discovers in her travels around the country and to Morocco, India, and Thailand. The focus is on leather goods, jewelry, and simple silhouettes in natural fabrics from indie designers. For where to find it and when—or to request a visit—go to www.bazaaragogo.com.

You’ll be tempted by alpaca, linen, cotton, silk, mohair, and bamboo yarns—some with sequins, some with a metallic touch—made domestically as well as imported from Italy, Spain, and Peru—plus a full array of supplies and classes for knitting newbies.
