A SMALL TOWNS PRIDE IN THEIR SATURDAY MARKET...
I had a great weekend...I hope that the rest of you did as well. My family and I visited a seaside town and had the pleasure of making it to their Saturday market. It was a small market, but the community spirit was so strong. We got there first thing in the morning while some vendors were still setting up, I noticed quite a few of them walking around and greeting each other. It made me wish that I had a booth there as well. There was a lot of produce, plants, handmade jewelry, and a some crocheted items. My favorite was a young girls booth that was full of beautifully knitted hats, scarves and handbags. You could tell that she really loved her craft, and put a lot of time into it. She also had quite the eye for quirky, and fun colors in her hats and bags. It was so nice to see someone so young take such pride in her work!
