Yea for a great market day!

We had a blast at today's Farmers' Market, and had a wonderful turnout for very first day of it. I was so encouraged, and was complimented a lot on my booth and products. It was neat meeting all sorts of folks, and seeing friends too, who were so faithful and loyal to come out and visit. My precious husband helped me till the wee hours of the morning getting ready, Graced provided last minute canning tips, and Jenn was the inspiration behind my idea for the sign (which I prepared at 1:00 this morning). I sold all my apple and strawberry butter and strawberry sauce, and had folks asking for more, so that is neat! The tussie mussies, fresh lemonade, and herbs sold pretty well, too. I was interviewed for a local paper, so we'll see if I end up in the article. God held the monsoon off till near the end, and by that point, I was almost out of everything, so it was fine to go ahead and pack up!

Here are some photos from the morning! Click on the collage to see them better. You can't see it well, but I had jasmine hanging across the front of our canopy, which was so pretty and smelled wonderfully!

I'm so glad you had a great day. Your displays looked great - it was obvious that you worked really hard on everything. I've already sampled the strawberry sauce and it's delicious. I can't wait to eat it with ice cream, pancakes, bagels and cream cheese, and the list goes on and on.

I am so proud of my precious wife. She is an inspiration to me. She faithfully uses the gifts our Lord has blessed her with to honor Him and our family. She transformed a 10 x 10 booth into an expression of who she is and looked absolutely beautiful doing so. She was definitely in her element today. I can't wait to see how it will all look when she adds the vegetables from our garden to her amazing display. I hope everyone can come by at least one Saturday this summer and visit her booth. You will be impressed! Great job, sweetheart!
