Outdoor markets often call us to join in as the weather turns for the better and colorful tents and booths emerge, filled with flowers, fruits, homemade goods, seasonal favorites, and what have you. I so enjoy the sounds. The sounds of smiles and exchanges, of the joining of groups of people, old friends, new friends, families, having a marvelous time. The scents of fresh, warm baking and buckets upon buckets of new blossoms. The sight of sun-kissed faces and shoulders, of hands being held and fingers pointing. From Palm Springs to Southern France I have been, and no matter where you go the festive joy of simply discovering is so evident. For you never know what might lie just around the corner... delicious, homemade treats to enjoy as you walk, fresh flowers for your kitchen or your new favorite scarf. What is your most favorite market find to date?

ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, you are taking me back to sunny days spent meandering through the markets of hillside villages in Provence, where we used to gather a few gourmet goodies for our picnics in the lavender filled countryside....One day I shall return. Thanks for the reminder. x
ReplyDeleteWanderig the outdoor markets is wonderful. They have a unique charm, the joy you have when you discover something new and more beautiful than the previous find every step of the way. And the bunches of flowers you inevitably end up with because they are so beautiful there. Gorgeous post, Sarah! :) Hope you have a fabulous week! Ada
