early mother’s day lunch

Yesterday morning we went to the Farmers’ Market, as usual. The weather was beautiful. I commented that one day I’d like to sit out on the patio at The Oven and have lunch. It’s the perfect spot for people watching. Then I thought, why not today? That’s what I’d really like to do to celebrate Mother’s Day. So what if it is on a different day.

I ordered my favorite comfort food: chickpeas with poori (deep fried bread). It was heavenly! Bella was an angel considering that she had spent a lot of time already running around Iron Horse Park. It was a truly delightful morning with my two favorite people. Thanks T and M!

recycled crafts at the farmers’ market

I am so excited that it’s May because that means Saturday mornings at the Farmers’ Market. There’s a little area called Iron Horse Park where Bella likes to play. This is also where you’ll find most of the craft vendors. So, while T and Bella hang out by the fountain and the train-shaped jungle gym, I wander and window shop (or should that be e-z-up-tent shop?).

I saw a lot recycled crafts this year. My two favorites were the t-shirt grocery bags and earrings made out of cds. I didn’t think to take pictures, but they are similar to this bag and these earrings on etsy. The lady who makes Capri Sun tote bags (like these) is also back this year.

Later in the season, when there are usually more vendors, I’m hoping to see more recycled crafty goodness. (And hopefully, I’ll remember to take some pictures!)
