Weekend Confetti! Memphis Farmers Market Opening Day Pt 2
My next stop was at Wilson Gardens. As you can see they are our neighbors from Arkansas. I am trying the pumpkin squash and was given simple directions on how to roast it. I was happy to find butter lettuce and fresh spinach. I’ve already made an omelet and tonight I will saute some along with the lasagna we are having. We had a garden salad my daughter made last night. This is what I like about the market. Many times you end up learning new recipes or trying different vegetables.
Lydia’s Healthy Edibles is a GLUTEN FREE company. Many people are choosing gluten free products. Some because of health reasons and some because of “healthier” options. I have an illness and I do notice a spike in my inflammation when I eat some of my favorite desserts. I also have friends that MUST have gluten free products. I could not wait to share this with them because often it is difficult for them to find. I saw blueberry muffin mix, carrot cake muffin mix, lemon! My next go round at the market I will certainly purchase one or two of the mixes. I was adhering to my budget as one knows at a market you can lose it! (Okay, maybe just me!) They have granola ( I want that too!) and other products. To learn more check them out on: Facebook or on instagram @lhedibles
Next up is deliciousness that almost was gone before we made it home! Las Delicias Corn Chips and the amazing guacamole!!!!! I cannot wait to purchase these again. I had to share with family and thank goodness because I may have eaten more than my share!

Weekend Confetti! Memphis Farmers Market Opening Day Pt. 1
It was opening day for the Memphis Farmers Market this past Saturday. Multiple product vendors and multiple local farmers bring quite the variety. Each week there is something different and some vendors are staples. My first stop was the all natural soap station. How could you not notice all of the beautiful colors and the fragrances floating in the spring’s wind? I did not know which ones to choose as I wasn’t the only having a hard time deciding because the table was crowded with customers. I finally settle on lavender lemongrass and two cherry blossoms. One for my daughter and the other for my niece who hung out with me all day Saturday. Cosgrove and Lewis. cosgroveanlewis.com an also on Instagram! @cosgroveanlewis

Next was an amazing all natural cleaning company. I smelled each product and wow! Your brain is going “Wait, that smells familiar. Oh, now where have I smelled that before…is that oregano?” When these guys say all natural they really mean it!

Handmade pottery is always something that catches my eye and local pottery is always under the pavilion at Memphis Farmers Market. Erica Bodine has beautiful, quality, colorful pottery. facebook.com/ericabodinepottery and you can find her on Instagram as @ericabodinepottery
Fresh flower are what I look forward to at the Memphis Farmers Market. It is an instant mood booster in my early morning daze and graze through the market. I may have had my coffee to get me there, but I am nowhere near awake. Luckily with the colorful flowers and smiling cheerful vendors it all quickly changes as the hustle and bustle of the market gets underway.

Magnolia Jane
I took a morning stroll. A peaceful and meditative walk and WOW out of nowhere there she was. Magnolia Jane is her name and she is beautiful! I want to plant one.

My Writing and Creative Space
I have cleared the clutter, rearranged, and designed a new space for writing and creating. I moved my desk upstairs because not much is going on when I look out of the window during the winter months. I am not inspired. However, upstairs the sky gives a better view of the day. You can catch great sunsets and sunrises..well, at least the glow of them.
The photos are REAL photos I took when I traveled to Panama. The seashells are from the Bahamas and was were given to me by a friend. I will visit there someday soon I know! The candle is a soy candle. The scent of it is masculine and I like the energy it brings when I am writing about a male character.

Orange Beach Vacation
Today I will share photos I took in Orange Beach and later on I will share my experience and the wisdom the gulf presented me with via my Higher Power. So here you go!
Sunrise & Sunsets to Mexico
I’m usually the first one up on vacation to capture a sunrise and I’m usually trying to capture a sunset as well. No one is ever the same.
All photos were taken by me and are my property. 😊
