Market update

Yesterday was a slow day at the market. It was nice weather, sunny but not so humid, a nice change, but not so many people. Maybe it's vacation time? We had gorgeous eggplants, radishes and tomatoes, plus lots of other veggies. We had a young helper, who was a very good worker. I'm wearing a blouse made by Mayan women in Chiapas, Mexico. Amy, the organic farmer whose stand is across from ours, buys them directly and sells them at the market. I never wear this much color, but I really liked this shirt and thought it was perfect for being a veggie vender.

The wooden bowl was a gift for Chuck. It's walnut wood and made by Tom Lowe, who does really beautiful wooden pieces.

Bonnie is also across from us and brightens our view with her great tie-dye items. She's so good at this. Have you ever tried to do more than one color? I can only do single dye but she does really intricate multiple colors.

At the market

Last Thursday was a slow day at the Farmers' Market, so I had the chance to visit with some other vendors, who are near us. I'd been looking at Bonny Rike's tie dye goods and decided to buy a couple as baby presents. She does a really nice job and they make me feel all warm and fuzzy about the 70s, when I used to tie dye clothes for my kids. Amy of Amy's Organic Garden had edamame on the stalk, which I'd never seen before. It was some chore to cut the pods off the stems, but they cooked up nicely with salt. Amy has lovely colorful flowers, too.
