Hello hello, are we having fun as the big celebration is near? The other day I went out with a friend, pub drinks cancelled by covid but we did go to the Festive indoor farmers market and craft bazaar.
I haven't been to the farmers market in two years [ask me why] and this was a real treat. It's held in this brewery now, maybe all winter if the December days are profitable.
I have to admit shopping in a big down parka, mask, fogged up glasses and catarcact, own bags, credit cards only in the sellers' phones w/poor reception, sigh, is not fun or easy. I couldn't juggle the produce which was gorgeous [golden crown broccoli!]. I did get some lovely cheeses.
LOL I thought this one was a New Jersey cheese artisan, but on close inspection I think it is made from cows' milk
Very tasty, anyway.
Great pickles! Wish I'd bought the fresh sauerkraut.

Wonderful hot chocholate gifts. I stocked up for snow days.
Fresh bread, so I don't have to bake tomorrow.
Pretty coastal items and tee shirts.
The brewery itself is interesting! I am not a beer drinker but I'd give it a try another day.
Meanwhile, back home, here is our adorable dog walker.
And the spa van came for Mo. He is all mani/pedi'd and shampooed, fluffed and ready for Santa in his [my] favorite sweater.
May your holidays be Merry and Bright!
love

Your trip to the market looks like it was very fun. Yum to the cheese, yum to the bread--it looks delicious--and yum to the hot chocolate. The credit card only payment thing is a hassle to me. I'm mostly a cash payer but I understand not having cash can be better for the sellers.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and Mo!
Mo looks so comfy and cozy in his adorable sweater;))) Nice that you were able to have that market day despite the discomforts!! We've gotten about 2" of snow overnight and it is still flurrying here...very festive!!
ReplyDeleteI hope your Christmas is Merry and Bright--hugs, Julierose
Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to go to the market! Interesting that it's in a brewery but nice that they host it, seems like it might be a good partnership for them. You need some cross-body market bags, lol, to keep your hands a little freer! and a fannypack for your other stuff, like phone etc. Or maybe you could design something and use quilt scraps to make it...
ReplyDeleteI love your dog-walker's hat! That's a cute idea! Was it handmade, or did she buy it - or did she say?
Mo looks good, happy to be all spiffy and have his treat!
Oh, and the bread kind of looks like a just-popped flower bud that's been baked, lol. I hope it tastes as good as it looks!
Happy Christmas! Hope you have a great one!
