My Personal Farmers Market

This year I have an over abundance of vegetables (and sunflowers!) in my garden. I have jalapenos and tomatoes growing out my ears! Seeing as I have way too many veggies to eat with my family alone, I decided to set up a little stand in front of my house to sell some! I had quite a large variety of veggies, and I thought all the colors looked so lovely together together. I put all of my produce on a cherry-covered tablecloth (which I thought made my stand look very authentic and country!), made some little baskets of out paper plates, set up a few signs, and opened my Farmers Market!

It was pretty slow business at first, but by the end I made a good chunk of change; so worth the time! :) I also reduced my vegetable count by quite a bit, which was the main goal. I had a lot of fun at my personal Farmers Market, and I might do it again soon! (I still have more veggies growing, haha! x)

Does anybody else have a garden? What do you grow?

The Liebster Award

After having been nominated for the Liebster Award about 4 times, I have finally taken some time to figure out what it is all about. At first I thought it was just some odd scam or promotion, but after reading some blog posts about it I fell in love with the idea! I believe The Liebster Award is a great way to get to know your fellow bloggers, and I would love to thank Sarah for my most recent nomination. x Hope to get to know you better!

In case you are new to this, here's the basic rules:

After being nominated, you first should read through your nominators post. (It's just courteous!) Next, if you choose to accept the award, you create a post where you state 11 facts about yourself, answer the 11 questions your nominator left for you, and then create 11 questions for the people you nominate to answer. (Lot's of 11's I know!) You should try to nominate 11 other blogger all with less than 200 followers.

This is a wonderful way to get closer to the blogging community, so I hope everyone I nominate participates! (Link me if you do, I'll read it!)

A Disassembled Bouquet of Wildflowers

Hi again, internet! I just got home from a week-long road trip/camping adventure with my family in Glacier National Park and Yellowstone. I was without social media for the whole trip and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I didn't miss social media at all. It actually felt like a chore having to come home and scroll through endless Instagram pictures. This trip kinda opened my eyes to what's really important in life; It's not money or fame or how many likes that you get on a picture that keep you alive, or that matter at all, it's family and love and nature. So please, grab a cuppa tea, kick off your shoes and take some time to view nature and reflect on life. Here's some pictures of wildflowers I took on my trip to get you started. xx

Summertime Flowers and Honeybees

 

A few days ago I was biking the back roads with one of my best friends and we came across this adorable field of purple flowers! I snapped a couple pictures of some bees flying around....being very careful not to get to close. (I've gone 2 years without a bee sting- not going to mess it up now!)

I'm going on vacation to Canada with my family tomorrow and I am so ready to get away from technology for a week or so! I love being connected to everything, but sometimes you just need a break. Have any of you ever been to the Glacier National Park/Canada area? Any place in particular we should check out? :)

I hope you enjoyed this little photography oriented post!

Flairwell!
