Saturday Market in Winter

Once Winter rears its cold shoulder, The Downtown Saturday Market moves to the indoors of the Fairgrounds. We missed it last week so my mom and I decided to check it out and see how it compares to the normal outdoors market.

The produce is still very fresh, organic, and YUMMY! The best thing, I must say is that they separate all the arts and crafts booths from the vegetable booths. It was so nice having wide open spaces of just produce and yummy brownies to gaze upon without everything else clouding you.

We stumbled upon some sun chokes. If anyone knows what to do with these, bring it on! I will be searching for them on the food network site tonight. haha.


Beet it.
Chanterelle Mushrooms. Again, Ideas on what to put these in?
Having these for dinner tonight!

and finally... ChestNUUUUUUUUUTTTTTS roasting on an open fiiiiiiire.. sorry had to do it.

I heart my farmers market. I really need to get down there more often.

Thanksgiving

The wonderful Mahler's invited us over to their house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a beautiful table and spread! It had been rainy that whole day so it was nice to come into a nice house for the holidays.


Ryry and Junebug. Dig the tie ladies...



Pixel hoping for morsels of food to be dropped.

Iron Chef

The approval?


It was a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!!! Thank you so much to Jeremy and Elizabeth for having us!

Sake

I recently had a photo shoot with the beautiful Elizabeth Mahler and her dog Sake. Sake isn't going to be with us much longer and she wanted to get a few more photos of the two of them before he's gone. I was so happy and honored to have been asked to take these photos.










We love you Sake, you will be missed.

Halloween Monster 2009

Here are a few shots of Junebug in his costume before we left for New Orleans. He was the cutest little monster!

Pumpkins on 5th

Pumpkins on 5th is a small festival the town puts on that involves all schools and clubs in the area. The classrooms all make jack-o-lanterns and there is a costume contest. The whole 5th street Market is decorated and even the local news was there to report. I love living in a small town! haha.


Go Ducks!


Wild thing!!!






The fountain was filled with Red Apples. Juno wanted to eat them.

Thisle Down & Lone Pine Farms

The bug and I ventured out one cloudy day in the hunt for some good pictures. And maybe a pumpkin or two. Thisle Down and Lone Pine farms are next door to each other in North Eugene and are so awesome. Fresh produce and play areas and animals....well, goats.






We found some pumpkins but decided since we were going to spend our Halloween in New Orleans, we'd leave them behind.


I can't wait for next spring to shop at these markets again.
