in the [market] bag

This round of "what's in my bag" is a little different - and that's because the straw tote that I put in this month's mix & match wardrobe as a beach tote turns out to also be a great substitute for a farmer's market basket! I absolutely love walking to the great bi-weekly market that's about 3 blocks from my house and seeing what's new in season. Next week I bet I'll be getting my hands on peaches galore, but for now we have lots of good green stuff - and some hydrangeas, because I never can resist market flowers. Especially for $3.

 
 

The other bonus about this bag is that it's a steal of a deal. To illustrate that, I spent the same amount of $$ (just under 20) as this bag costs at the farmer's market and filled it up. Now you can see what that amounts to in amazing fresh Michigan produce... And actually for this price I also got an additional carton of eggs (I'm making frittatas for the masses tonight) as well as some red and orange cherry tomatoes that went missing from this little photo shoot. I've got Thai broccoli salad and Greek salad in the works too with this good stuff.

Coming up from the same mix & match wardrobe tomorrow is the perfect outfit to wear to the farmer's market! Hint: it involves super cute strawberries.

  1. I haven't been to a farmer's market all summer even though it's on my bucket list! Although we have been getting lots of fresh produce from friends with gardens, so I can't complain too much. That bag is perfect, though!
