Finding Inspiration at the Farmer's Market

Just a few miles from my house there is a Saturday morning Farmers' Market. I consider it a treat to stroll the aisles. There are always friends and acquaintances that I bump into and get to visit with. There is a Farmers' Market String Band and they are really good!
Just look at these colors and textures!
You can buy homemade pies, local sausage, apricot syrup, hot corn on the cob, mushrooms already sliced for you, herbs, fruits and vegetables in every variety, cut flowers, potted plants and all sorts of other fun stuff. You can buy it all right from the folks who made or grew it. How cool is that?
The tables and bins piled with fruits and vegetables are beautiful. Who could resist trying something called "Flavor Grenade Pluot"?
Sometimes they invite artists in to display at the market. In my way of thinking, this is a perfect pairing. You can buy handcrafted goodies from the folks who make them. I got lucky enough to get a booth for next Saturday. Of course, I will have my loom with me and offer anyone who cares to join in the opportunity to weave on an inkle loom. And Katie, my neighbor in the previous post, will be giving me a basket of potholders to put out.

Care for a drink? How about some sauerkraut juice?

A chance meeting with a fiber arts friend at the market led to a conversation about looms. While exploring the Ashford website, she found  a picture of me at Convergence. Nice surprise! Thanks, Richard.
