Ole' MacDonald Had A Farm
Eeeii Eeeii Ohhhh! Can you guess what I did this weekend??? Well, no, I didn't go to a farm, but I did go to 3 farmer's markets in Tucson!
So, on Saturday I experienced the farmer's market downtown at the train station...
Cute little market, not a lot of vendors as the 100 degree heat factors into it.
Got to see Amtrak on a morning run...
And a couple of freighters...
Bought some herbed goat cheese which was made from Wednesday's goat milk ~ yummy!
Also picked up a new basil plant and peppermint plant...
Next stop was the farmer's market at Plaza Palomino...
Sadly, there were few vendors compared to their normal draw as the center is undergoing renovation.
I managed to snag a loaf of ciabatta from Barrio Bread ~ addicting!!
By now, the day was heating up and I had two little herb plants to replant so I headed for home.
On Sunday, Kiki joined me and we traveled up the Avenue to St. Phillip's Plaza for their Sunday market.
By far, this was the best ~ HUGE with everything from organic eggs to organic meats and everything in between...soaps, lotions, potions, beans, lentils, breads, cheeses, veggies, gluten, vegan, you name it!
We had a lovely morning and while I had purchased my goat cheese yesterday, I found a few things I just couldn't resist ~
Somehow, the lentils ~ rustic bread ~ apples ~ have me anticipating Fall with pure glee! Thirty four years in Arizona have taught me there's still another 1-2 months of pretty warm weather. That's okay because Fall will arrive!
I want to share one more thing with you, dear friends....my sweet, dear heart Debbie celebrated her birthday on August 21st. Since I was still coming around from the vertigo, we celebrated her special day last Friday.
A very special luncheon at....
located in the historic Hotel Congress, downtown Tucson....
Happy Birthday, dear one...you still have 5 days left of celebrating your Birthday Month!
And I'm wishing all of you a most lovely end-of-the-month week, as well. I'll be thinking of you and sending you blessings!

I haven't been to a farm in quite awhile and there's really no excuse because we have MANY. We are surrounded by farming country and Southern Arizonans have a strong yearning for things organic.

Back In The Saddle Again!
Yesssirreee, I'm back in the saddle again and almost dizzy-free! Long story short, the ENT doc diagnosed Benign Positional Vertigo which is an upset to the microscopic crystals located in the inner ear. The good news is it's curable with a commitment to simple exercises, 3x/day. So, I've been a good patient and it's paying off. This is also a condition that's age-related, so if you're over 50 be sure not to make any sudden moves with your head!
Time to catch up...earlier this month I had the awesome privilege to attend the premier showing for Glam'tiqued.
A fabulous home decor business created by those darling friends of mine, Karey-Ann and Claire.
They are sharing a space at Real Deals Tucson and have absolutely charmed their spot with all this original hand crafted decor!
The girls and I just couldn't resist while we were there, and here's our purchases....
If you're in town, be sure to stop by Real Deals and check out Glam'tiqued.
Lucky for me, this vertigo allowed me to sit quietly and work on jewelry. The Trunk Show is less than a month away and E-vites will be sent out this week, so be sure to check your email. Here's a peek at what I've been up to....
Some soldered charms for the holidays, waiting to be finished...
A bracelet
and some necklaces...
Still more to do before the big day and that's my focus this week!
It's so good to be back blogging and I'm SO glad you stopped by for a visit. That means so much to me. I hope your week is a beautiful one and filled with blessings!
