Our Evening at Picket Fences

Old Town Scottsdale is always a lively place, but very special magic happens the first Thursday of every month when creative artisan woman gather together in one place known as JAM and connect with each other and with community to display and sell what comes from their heads through their hearts and out of their hands.  All kinds of amazing items - jewelry, home baked goods, message stationery, and more unique gifts. . . and of course ~ us ~ The Simple Farm.

Wonderful fudge! Wonderful ....beautiful....amazing and creative woman ~ Cynthia.

Off To Market We Go

I always look forward to receiving David Lebovitz posts and one of this weeks caught my eye - because it has to do with the French Market.

Visit to a Paris Market (Video).  There are markets EVERYWHERE in Paris. Ahhhh....

Key points that stuck out are:

Outdoor markets take place in various neighborhoods. (love this)

In general, he buys from the same people - because they know him and they know what he likes.

You have to shift your thinking with the seasons. 

Everything actually looks a little 'funky' which is what he likes. (Good food doesn't look perfect)

Outdoor markets aren't just places to buy food; they act as social centers. (awesome)
