Tierlantynkies Market Fun

Yesterday we stopped at one the markets that we love - a twice a year market that has started getting a nice festival feel.

Mojito stall after a couple of hours in the sun and shopping. Life saved.

Kids corner - dress up and decorate your own cupcake. Hours of fun.

Monday morning thoughts..

This will be quick. And just a few thoughts. I have things to do, places to go, on this my "off" day. No work means more work sometimes!

Some of the things I bought at the market yesterday is just too pretty not to share.

It is Afrikaans. So sorry for those who do not understand it.

One was for your child. My kind. A book for me to fill for each of them with recipes, photos and thought...

Ek skryf vir jou hierdie klein stukkies
onthou.. resepte van jou gunsteling eetgoed,
maar ook n paar goed wat ek graag met jou wil deel.
...Liefhê-goed, lag-goed, eina-goed, onthou goed..
omdat jy vir my kosbaar is.
Vul dit aan met jou eie treffers, en onthou daar sal dalk dae wees
wat net die hond
opgewonde sal wees oor jou nuwe dis!
(Freda Schoeman)

DANKBAAR, thankful
KOSBAAR, prescious
VREUGDE, happiness
GENADE, grace
LIEFDE, love
LAG, laughter

All of the above is what I want for them. What I want for me.

Garden days. Market days.

In the spirit of always trying something new, today we went (on a whim) to the open gardens of the Rotary Club of SA. Same as the steam trains, what a unexpected surprise.

Of course the gardens were perfect. Every corner a little gem and surprise. I couldn't fool the people there, so I went for honesty. No I do not have a clue what any flower is called. But I love pretty. And I can appreciate beauty. And I'm open to learn.

So with a full schedule already, I could fit in today.

Start. Ready.. Steady.

 

 And go!
