Quilted Heirlooms, Saint Jacobs Farmer's Market

For all those who wants an update as to how's Risha doing? She's doing GREAT! we definitely see some improvement in her hand movement and physiotherapy is still on plus exercises at home...

Finally spring has arrived with double digit temperatures, weather is gorgeous and in no time hot sizzling summer will arrive too. There's no ignoring summertime. Fun time is here again (coming soon actually!) as kids dash out in bikinis, holding bucket and spade in hands, lapping on loads of sunblock lotion and running off in flipflop in a carefree manner, love sun drenched days, garden fragrances thick in the air, the dandelions and buttercups gild all the lawn and starlit nights. After being trapped indoor for good 7 months, now its time to break free and bask in the warm sunshine! There's burst of activities lined up. And naturally there'll be barbecue invitations too. And when I say burst of activities, one of them that's lined up for me is "GARAGE SALE", also called "Rummage Sale", "Attic Sale"....I'm a complete "Garage Sale Savvy" come weekends and I love to explore from one street to the other looking for mostly decorative items, an excellent way of spring cleaning for many, to get rid of old stuff and start afresh, and for many like me these items becomes treasure....usually I'm an "Early Bird" in Garage Sale meaning arrive before the hours of sale to review the items....after all who wouldn't love the summer morning so bright and fresh, birds darting to breast the breeze and sweeps the cool clear sky!

The second and the last burst of activities that I'm crazy about is "Farmer's Market"-a benefit for the urban consumer who values quality, variety and freshness in food. I usually visit one that's close to my house but this time guaranteed I'm going to Saint Jacobs-heard Farmer's Market here is fabulous every season. Aisles and aisles of fresh produce from across Ontario and from local farm gardens. More than 600 vendors in a colorful rural settings. Plus crafts, home decor, clothes, tools and many more. The other incentive that draws me to visit this place is the "On-site petting barn" that I wanted to show my elder one for the longest time. I definitely want to discover this Saint Jacobs country, have a gentler time, explore one of Canada's largest year-round farmer's market.

Summer is definitely a strong and commanding season, where it leaves many traces of its presence. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
