Summer at the Farmers Market


My daughters and I went to the Bellingham Farmers Market on Saturday. We stopped by Cedar Mountain Botanicals for some freshly-cut soap (my eldest chose "Lavender Mist," my youngest "Put Me in the Zoo"), grabbed some fresh sugar snap peas because mine didn't do so well in the garden this year (too! much! rain!), listened to the buskers, and met with my friend Clarissa from the Vegan in Bellingham blog for some exquisitely delicious food from Ambo Ethiopian Cuisine (spongy sourdough injera, spicy lentils, savory potatoes, carrots and beets, and cabbage so tender it practically melted in my mouth). On our way out of the market, I found two very cute pink-and-brown striped knit winter hats in the $2 box at Red Boots Design that fit the kids perfectly. I couldn't pass up that deal, but have since pushed any thought of winter away and focused on being here now, in (finally!) summertime.

  1. Homemade soap. How marvelous! I miss out on all the summertime Farmer's Markets I see on blogs. Dare I say that I am ready for (whisper)winter?

  2. Bellingham has the BEST farmer's market I've ever visited. BEST

    Freshly cut soap. That's a super service! And so pretty. Once again I wish there was a way to post fragrance.

  5. We are coming home tomorrow so maybe I can get to the Farmer's Market before the summer is gone. I've been once. That's not enough for my home town market. - Margy
