This morning we made our pre-Thanksgiving trip to Farmer's Market. I go thinking about dinner on Thursday, and check out the vegetables and decorations that I will be back to buy at Wednesday morning's market, because I don't have to work on Wednesday-- (why? because I'm RETIRED IN ANN ARBOR). :)
There were many beautiful arrangements-- I really hope the one with feathers is still there when I return.
We got some beautiful broccoli ($3) and a piece of smoked whitefish, and then I got distracted by the selections of items that would make great Christmas gifts!
It got me thinking that it would be cool to feature an original or quirky local product or shop every day from Black Friday (Nov 25) through Christmas Eve. By my count, that's 30 posts in 30 days. Do you think I can do it?
