challenge

Okay, Nina. No more random Saturday market shots. Get a theme. Get a life.

How about this: take photos only of vendors where you buy something and post a photo from each such vendor?

Good challenge.

But, I fail. Pride keeps me from posting a photo from every place of purchase. The “tart lady” (with the heavenly cherry rose cakes) threw me. It is a non-salvageable photo and I absolutely refuse to put it up on flickr, let alone on Ocean. And the photos went mostly downhill from there.

Still, the first part of the challenge is a success. So, here are some of the places where I spent money today (first four: Westside Community Market; next one: Farmers Market on the Square; finally: Unearthed – not a market exactly, but a place where you can pick up old, decoratively restored implements from farms, villages and towns of the Midwest):



edamame bunches




all green




heirlooms and mushrooms
