we are at the peak of the farmers market season here in the
Pacific Northwest!

on Saturday, Chrislyn and i visited our favorite market in downtown
Puyallup. it was a quick trip since the babies were with us and we
needed to be home for lunchtime and naps.

last week, i picked up a copy of Autumn Cottage! i remembered seeing
the interesting prickly flowers featured in the photo on the right
at the market last Saturday, so i was on a quest to find them again!
i found the flower vendor! she sold me three of the prickly flowers and
some Queen Anne's Lace for 2.50. the stroller was so filled with
market fresh that Holland ended up in Ben's seat!
Chrislyn and i took turns holding Ben as we finished our shopping.
we made it home in perfect time for lunch and naps.
after lunch, i returned home to 34th street and made a simple
deep into Summer arrangement, using the pretty mercury
glass vase that the kid's gave me for Mothers Day! i added fresh
bay leaf from the back yard to the mix and dressed it up with
one of Michele's handmade ruffled raw linen napkins, and bit of
crystal bling! i am loving patina of my grandmother's
plated silver through this season's transition!
time to head to the office!
here's to soaking in the last weeks of summer...

(p.s. if any of you know the name of the prickly
periwinkle flowers...do tell!)
