Flea Market

After baking a quiche for breakfast today, we walked to the flea market. Seeing these flower baskets was a welcome treat. I love how this lady uses old baskets and crates as flower pots. It gives her arrangements a nostalgic and organic feel to it.


It's cloudy today, walking along is easier without the usual summer heat. As of this post, I'm still looking for vintage fabrics & buttons to use for my fall/ winter collection.

Hopefully, I'll find what I'm looking for.

How about you, where are you headed this Sunday?

Market Day Feature

Hooray for another feature!

The lovely Meghan from Lotus's Workshop featured my veggie and fruit baggie in their website. Check out their juicy site filled with great handmade finds.

Farmers Market

Summertime is farmers market time! Every weekend, I love strolling along the busy market downtown to buy fresh produce. Our two year old loves carrying my bag, filling it up with farm treasures along the way. He loves tasting the freshly baked baguette too!

We say 'no' to plastic bags whenever a vendor asks us if we want a bag or not. It feels good to know that we're helping in our own little way to minimize waste by using our own 'lovely' reusable bag. We are going 'green', are you?

Why it Pays to be Green

Fruit Market Baggie, $17.

Did you know that one less grocery bag per person in a year would reduce waste by 5 million lbs. and save $250,000 in disposal costs?  

So, shop smart and stay 'green'.   These reusable and washable baggies are my best bets.  

I'm totally saying 'bye' to plastics.  How about you?
