The first and most exciting find that I have to share is Fresh Harvest Farms, a group of local farmers from whom we have begun to purchase fresh produce. My mom discovered them at our local arts market, and suggested to me that we split a weekly delivery seeing as the baskets contain more than enough fresh fruits and vegetables to feed four adults. Mom picked up our first week's worth a few days ago, and let me just say... "gorgeous" and "yummy"! When we spread out the goodies on my kitchen table, it looked like a Beatrix Potter illustration - turnips with roots, a huge head of cabbage, brussel sprouts on the stalk (the top of which is quaintly displayed on my kitchen table), huge onions, freshe spinach, and oranges! The assortment will change seasonally and we can also add a giant fresh chicken and fresh eggs to our order if we choose. I am really excited about the possibilities this opens up for us as it is hard to find affordable "good" food. If you live near me and want more info just let me know, otherwise I would encourage you to see if you have a similar program in your area.
My next several recent finds come from a few of my favorite places. You will quickly learn from these "Found it" posts that the stores I frequent most are TJ Maxx, Marshall's, HomeGoods, and Tuesday Morning. I am an addict. Ok, so let me show you what I found in the last week - how cute is this reusable market tote? $1.99 at Tuesday morning!
And this fly proof dome is perfect for outdoor dinning - not too mention so nostalgic. I bought this one to give to my mom, but I want to go back and get one for myself. TJ Maxx $6.99.
I also found this weathered tray at the TJ, and I love the way it displays my Anthropologie Tea Set. $7.99.
And in the clearance section at TJ Maxx, I found this rustic hurricane for $3.99. It was a great TJ week!
Last, but soooooo not least - gelato! I have been craving gelato for weeks and Ben found some in the Publix freezer on Sunday night - I was so excited! What is so great about gelato you may be wondering? The texture is perfect and the ingredient list is so short and natural, I'm not sure that means it's "good" for you, but it's certainly better than some other treats. Those wonderful Italians! Anabelle was awake with me last night when I cracked open the seal (tip: eat right out of the carton so you don't have to share with friends) and I let her have some. She loved it, and to hear her say "gelato" was seriously the cutest thing. I taught her to make some Italian-esque hand motions to go with it - hilarious.
