fab friday.
buy local calendar & tea towel in one, from terrain.
one of my favorite things to do is hit the farmer’s market on the weekends. we’re pretty lucky in san francisco, and there are several to choose from (even during the week, like the castro farmer’s market). i visit one i can walk to each saturday – the noe valley farmer’s market, and i often drive out to the alemany farmer’s market as well. it feels very community-oriented and affordable, too. i thought i’d share some handy accoutrement for shopping and storing your own local farmer’s goods.
striped toyko tote bag from rib and hull; manhattan wine tote from maptote; lightweight market basket from kaufmann mercantile; and BOUCLE WIRE SHOP BASKET from jayson home & garden.
pretty printed preserving jars from terrain; canning for a new generation by liana krisoff teaches us newbies in the art of making preserves, from terrain. not a local farmer’s market in your neighborhood? there’s a plethora of handmade and artisan foods online, like this sweet honey from ames farms; make your own salad dressings and store them in this pretty glass carafe from haus interiors.
pretty organic cotton produce bag from starflower; love the idea of this herb drying rack from cox & cox; or keep your herbs fresh is sweet little jars like these seen on tartlette; and these vintage jars from mary beth hale.
That herb drying rack is pure genius!Especially when you grow your own. Thanks Victoria, I have found the perfect gift for my hosts next week (and I’m sure a me-gift wouldn’t hurt eithier :)
i’m going with the jayson boucle basket! great choices here.
I’m really looking forward to our local farmer’s market opening for the season. I love the market basket, and the herb drying rack is a wonderful find – so pretty and practical.
A trip to the Farmers Market sounds like a fabulous way to spend a Saturday! Definitely something that I’m looking forward to as spring nears.
i love the alemany farmers market too! it’s the best. thanks for sharing the jars from terrain – they will be a perfect gift for my mom. :)
love the basket! and you are so right about SF it has such a wonderful array of farmer’s market and local food eateries, awwh how I miss that city!
Such wonderful items! I love every single one, but that herb drying rack is a dream.
Lucky! I don’t think the market has started back up again yet for this year.. still too cold! But I’m new here and could be completely wrong. I love that buy local calendar!
I love that calendar! And that Manhattan wine tote would be great for trips to the Union Square Market.
I gasped when I saw that black and white striped bag. Perfection!
omg, the herb drying rag, i just fell in love with it!
