continued from page 1
she lays out her goods, one chair and
two large Tupperware containers to
store candles and supplies. She
works under the cover of a tent she
bought at G.I. Joe’s for $100.
Because she doesn’t have a car,
Valenzuela’s roommates drive her
— and all of her equipment — to the
market every Saturday.
She said the hardest thing about
her job was mustering the initiative
to do it.
“Now it’s just a matter of showing
up every weekend, making sure I
keep my stock up,” said Valenzuela,
who added it’s only her third Satur
day working the booth.
The Saturday Market, which has
been a Eugene cultural staple since
1970, has live music, jewelry, tasty
food, clothing and crafts such as
Valenzuela’s candles.
It runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
every Saturday, usually from April
to November, depending on the
weather and vendor schedules. The
market is located on the south side
of East Eighth Avenue, with two
blocks full of booths on both sides
of Oak Street.

ket, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., is
located just across the street on
the north side of East Eighth Av
enue. Farmers offer a plethora of
goods such as locally grown pro
duce and honey.
Venezuela said she and most of
the other vendors enjoy their
work, especially creating or grow
ing their wares.
She has a double-boiler her father
insisted she needed to melt the can
dle wax. She adds dye for flair and
essential oils for aroma.
She’s made three different colored
vanilla candles since she began
working at the market.
Although the student also plans to
add cinnamon soon, she already
sells candles scented with sandal
wood, lemon grass, lilac, hazelnut
and one she calls “rain.”
“Rain smells like clean laundry,”
she said.
The name of her booth also has a
story.
Venezuela said she and her moth
er came up with the name, Firefly
Gandies, together.
“My mom and I were thinking:
What was the bug that lights up?”
Valenzuela said, smiling at the
memory. “And we couldn’t remem
ber the name.”
She added that right after coming
up with the name, the two weren’t
sure about it.
“My mom actually wanted to
change it to strong woman candles,”
she said. “She thinks I’m such a
strong woman.”
