We are sliding into the end of Farmers Markets for this year. As with all things seasonal, I welcome it and miss it simultaneously. A change of routine on Saturday morning, doing more of my own baking, trying to find other ways to surround myself with people I enjoy connecting with. In the end maybe it’s appreciated more because it’s not always here.
There is the glaring absence of cake in my weekly haul photo. The cake bakers were not there. These last few markets are very chilly and attendance is spotty, so I can’t blame them. AND they will be there for the Holiday Market and they usually have multiple kinds of cake there.
The thing I was most excited to see was a new bunch of drier balls. I realize this is an older lady thing. I love to get a new set every few years. These are especially pretty. Plus, I like to think about my clothes bouncing around in the drier with these balls from a local farmer and her sheep.
The gourds and the mini pumpkins were all lined up and waiting for me. I needed more to amp up the Thanksgiving decor at home.
Wreath season is upon us – these are a preview of what will be available at the holiday market in December, though these had an appropriate and appreciated Thanksgiving feel to them.
Pumpkins, gourds, and sunflowers sort of feels like a good way to close the market posts for the year. I am California bound this coming week. Planning to get in some warmth, sunshine, walks, serious cat petting time, and sister is going to teach me something about crochet. Good times all around.
