spinning at the farmer's market

this has been my second summer vending at our local farmer's market.  it's a young market, in it's third year (first year at this location) and is very small.   we average 8-10 venders.   most are food related and there is a wonderful variety of everything from seasonal produce to plants to amazing imorted olive oils and balsamic vinegars.    apart from the olive oils and vinegars, everything is local.
my booth is a combination of handmade soap/herbal goodies and fibery stuff.   i usually bring a spinning wheel and spin in my booth.  sometimes my friend amanda comes along and brings a spinning wheel or whatever knitting or crochet project she happens to be working on that day.   the spinning wheel gives me something to  do with my hands,   and also draws people into the booth.  i enjoy showing people how it works and how yarn is made.

it's hard to believe how quickly the season is passing.   the market goes through the second thursday of october, tentatively (weather permitting and assuming vendors still have things to sell).  only a month and a half (or less) left.    :-(            i love the comradery with the other vendors,  and the availability of amazing fresh, local foods.     today i came home with peaches,  with the intent to make peach salsa.    but i forgot to get hot peppers to go with them.    sigh....     maybe i will peel, chop and freeze them,  and get the peppers next thursday.
