Last year’s farmer’s market in Vancouver..
I’m thinking about doing Farmer’s Markets again. This is something John finds insane as I can hardly build up any stock – and it’s only June (he tells me this several times daily -because the Holiday Insanity is on the horizen). But, truth be told, I miss it. I really do. There is seriously something so special about watching kids with my dolls – it fills me up with so much creative ‘love’. The most special moment is when a child actually gets to buy a doll – seeing them choose and ponder and then finally connect with the one they want – this puts a huge smile on my face. I miss connecting with other artisans, I miss the bustle and the good chats , I miss finding yummy eats and getting first dibs on the seasons produce . Anyhow – I’ve done some research into where I’d fit over here on the Island and I’m thinking that the Sidney Farmer’s Market may be something to try – just one or two this season. I sent in my application today – we’ll see how it goes. Ha! Like I don’t need enough on my plate!
Thursday finds this week is fairly weak. I haven’t been perusing Etsy as much as I usually do. I did find this song though – which if you are a Radiohead fan I can almost guarantee you’d like. It’s called ‘Percussion Gun’ by White Rabbits. Then, I found this recipe for spelt and vegan muffins for Benjamin’s Kindercottage class. His birthday was celebrated yesterday (way late – he hasn’t been in school because of his whooping cough) and parents have to make something for the children to share. Spelt. And vegan. This recipe is fantastic – so, if you are in a spelt vegan bind – here’s your recipe! These are yummy and moist and wonderful. Yeah spelt vegan!
I’d love to know if any Van Island peeps like this market. There are a few other markets, but I hear such great things about the Sidney one and it’s good for my schedule. Any imput on it? Thanks!
I’ve got 5 new cuties ready for tomorrow’s upload on the shop! Should be around noon – ish that they’ll go ‘live’.
