More Cinderella Sightings in Sierra Madre

artist of the month 

Greetings,

My name is Soozee Van Dyke Woods. I am a local artist currently 
showing my work with my tile-making partner Tracy Chamberlin. 
We have been long-time fans of Mary’s Market in the SM 
canyon. We have seen it go through many “seasons”--some good, 
some not so good. Currently, it is fantastic! And to boot, they are 
promoting local artists by having an Art Wall featuring an Artist 
of the Month. 

Tracy and I have the honor of being the Artist of the Month 
for May--probably into the first week of June actually. Please see 
our blog page below chatting up this delicious concoction of good 
food, lovely atmosphere and local art. Thanks so much...I hope you 
are interested!

The lovely and delicious eating establishment of Mary’s Market 
in the Sierra Madre lower canyon has invited Tracy and I to be their 
“Artist of the Month” through the end of May.

Mary’s Market, located at 561 Woodland Drive in Sierra Madre 
is a hidden secret that needs to be shared. Carolyn, the owner, is a 
wonderful cook, has a clean & casual aesthetic and is like the cool 
mom in the neighborhood who’s house everyone wants to hang 
out at.

Mary’s has a simple and delightful menu. Tracy and I like to grab 
breakfast there when we’re walking in the canyon. Choices range 
from the wonderfully light and delicious “Size O” sporting a coupla 
perfectly poached eggs served with tomato, spinach, capers and 
yummy grainy toast (our fave) to waffles, and breakfast burritos 
or one of Carolyn’s freshly baked rolls. I’m hungry just thinking 
about it and all for about $4 to $6. Parking can be limited but that’s 
fortunate in this case. When you park below the narrow Woodland 
Ave, you get the opportunity to walk up through the fresh air 
and dappled light of the lower canyon, filled with bird calls, water 
trickling down the wash and unique canyon architecture. Every 
time I’m up there, I feel like I’m on vacation.

Okay, as long as I’m hungry and talking about the food at 
Mary’s...did I mention her gorgeous sandwiches and bbq’d burgers? 
They have live music on the weekends, and on the 2nd Wednesday 
of the month, they host a special BBQ evening with a featured 
something on the grill and yes...live music. See them on Facebook, 
www.facebook.com/marysmarket.sm

And...Oh yea, Tracy and I will be showing tile for the month of 
May on the Art wall. Pop up to the canyon, take a stroll, eat yummy 
food in a cozy atmosphere and check out Ramona Paloma Tile creations. 
Look for our tile right above the ice-cream freezer...great 
location...right?!

Mary’s is closed on Mondays. Give them a call if you want at 
355-4534.
