Ecotay Market on Sunday!

JB suggested we go off to the Ecotay Market on Sunday. Sure! He's been scouring the internet for places to go. Even the 🐻SNUGGLE Bears were looking to plan a trip. I'm beginning to feel we should take a trip!

This is the first market I've been to in a long time. I even did my face. Just for practice. Sadly, it wasn't waterproof mascara. You'll see why later. We arrived at the farm. It was dark. We expected rain around 9:30, but thought we'd try it.


Circle D Homestead had a table in the barn. Good thing!

We bought a few things. 

Tasha's Table, though Tasha wasn't there. Hubby stood in for her. He is responsible for the veggies! We bought some spices.

This is Marleen Keenan, of Mar's Lil Shop (below). I snapped a photo of a photographer! Her friend said it was her first show, and I was her first sale! That made me happy. She was happy. I bought some beeswax tea lights. At this point, it was getting darker, and there were a few sprinkles of rain!



Then, a crack of thunder, and a bit of rain. And a bit more rain. Then the clouds dumped on us. It's a lovely farm.

We sheltered in the barn. Glorious rain! Ecotay rain  


We skedaddled. So much for putting on makeup! 

We needed rain. We were happy to see it fall.


We were soaking wet.

This is our haul. Some spices, bee's wax tealights, soap, pickles, reusable face pads. 


If you look just above the placemat, you'll see the thermometer from the BBQ. It has moisture in it. I Googled that, and found out how to get it out. You put it in a covered casserole dish at 350° for a half hour. I'll wait until I have something to cook. That said, it's been sitting on the table for a couple of days and the moisture is gone!

It was quite a storm. Lots of thunder and lightning. 

It was good to get out and about!
