hey there.
i went to the farmers market on saturday, and although it was pouring rain, i met the most enchanting woman. i know, right ; ) she specializes in herbs, peaches + morels. just lovely. we spoke for over an hour. she showed me pictures of her herb gardens + her summer peach trees in full bloom.
i missed out on all her morels, but i am crossing my fingers, for next week-
a bit of heat in the pan, mushrooms, a tad of creme, a sprig or two of sweet woodruff + a piece of french bread. im all over that. oh no, i couldn't forget a nice red. the wanna be sommelier in me, would chose a spanish, red.
i made strawberry jam, sunday morning. just a few jars to test the patch.
sipped coffee + relaxed in the bookstore, while the kids roamed the mall. ya know i love em, cause i SO don't do the mall. ; )
the new words to shoot by post is up. the word is mirror, this time around. there is such amazing work over there. hoping you will stop by.
happy monday, my friends.
24 ladlefuls of love:
Sounds so lovely...I love the farmers market. I will stop by to see your post. xo
WTSB is so beautiful this week...it is so inspiring to see how there can be so many wonderful interpretations of a word.
It was raining when I went to the farmer's market too...and it is STILL raining. I would complain if it weren't for reading all the sorrowful news about the tornados...
you track down the morels and i'll bring the wine!
Sounds beautiful! I love bumping into inspiring women. And, a test batch ... I must try. That strawberry photo is gorgeous. I've been jamming up a storm these past couple weekends!! XO!
Humm...farmers market, sadly my town just can't get that right. Sounds like you were busy with wonderful things. I bet that jam is WONDERFUL!
oh...a weakness of mine, too: morels...swooning over your simple recipe. hope you get some next weekend. the light in your photos speaks to me kindly...thank you.
-xok.
I wandered our farmers' market on Sunday. I didn't buy anything - someone was straining at the leash - but it was fun to enjoy the sights and smells. Hopefully Oregon strawberries will be here soon. :)
Happy Monday!
ahh morels yum yum and any red will do ha ha
Ahhh, homemade jam sounds wonderful!
I stopped by "wtsb". Love your photos and seeing how everyone interpreted the theme. Taking time to reflect is a wonderful thing...especially if you have homemade jam and something fabulous to spread it on! xo
Dont you just love farmers markets???
I owe you an email. I havent forgotten. Will firm up a time this week.
Love the morels and berries. Xo
farmers market and homemade jam - strawberry! they sound great to me!
+ having fun at the bookstore! brilliant!
I long for a nearby farmer's market. It's hard to believe that living in the midst of farms galore finding a thriving farmer's market is not going to happen.
Love the red strawberries!
I just ate the last of my strawberries and peaches from the farmer's market today. Oh, I've been wanting to can or pickle soon. Hope your jam was delicious !
Hello Christina
I made strawberry jam for the first time a few weeks ago and I must say it was yummmm!
I love this time of the year--fresh fruits and all.
Take care and have a great week!
Best

First I have to say, I LOVE your images. So pretty and inviting. Your mushroom with creme sounds deeelicious right about now.
pinecone camp* thank you so much. i am so blushing reading these words from you. xoxo
Strawberries! What did you do with them? Forgive me, I know nothing of these morels of which you speak. Morals, yes. Morels, no. Sounds yummy though. You had me at a pinch of French bread. xo
Christina! we just got back home with fresh strawberries, I don't think they will last ... :-) so happy to see my little one to savor each one of them ... I had to looked up in the dictionary what morel is ... now I know :-) This time of the year is so lovely, the fresh fruits & veggies ... yum! Have a wonderful day!! sending lots of love!!
Your trip to the farmer's market sounds totally delightful. And strawberry jam, yummmm!
Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week as well. That trip to the market sounds so inviting. Gotta love fresh produce and baked goods!! Yummy
