Eye Candy...

It's Saturday morning

and I'm waiting for 

the farmers market to open...

I love farmers markets

they are a delight to the senses

they have it all

color, texture, smell, 

There is just something 'right' about 

knowing where your food is being grown

like

from my friend Gale

who grows and sells the best tomatoes around

She tends them like they were her children

~

Or to know someone gathered fresh flowers 

just yesterday rather than them being shipped from

hundreds of miles away and was gown by some huge agra farmer

Cupcakes that are gluten free 

and decorated with eatable flower

SERIOUSLY

Fresh baked tarts

just sing of my grandmother's kitchen

my mouth is watering just thinking about it

I could eat salad every day if the greens looked like this

and yes

they were $18.00 

but 

they were HUGE bowls with the lettuce still planted

These little hats

are made from the wool 

that the maker raises on her farm

she makes and dyes the yarn herself

and then knits the hats 

Now THAT is love

and simplicity

Don't these look winter wonderful

and delicious

Mixed with theses

I wouldn't mind taking one of these home too

certified organic : )

And a couple of these with some fresh tomatoes

would make some tasty bruschetta

and how about a riot 

of color

for that empty space on your dresser

Do yourself a favor

live simply, buy locally, and support

sustainability
