We met lots of nice people and a few very interesting ones. There was a homeschooling family in the booth next door. Lots of people stopped by to try samples of the shortbread I made. I had baked a lot of shortbread and cranberry walnut scones, thinking we would sell it. However, the market administrator informed us that we must have a "domestic kitchen certification" to sell baked goods. Bummer. He told us that we could give them away as samples, so that's what we did. I received a very nice compliment from a British photographer, who said my scones were really good. I thought it was somethin' to please a real British critic.
Here are some pictures Daddy and I took. The pretty booth set-up can be attributed to the creativity of my parents. They did a great job.

I'm reading Joel Salatin's "Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal". So I found it a little humourous (with a touch of sarcasm) that you would need a "domestic kitchen certificate". I'm sure your baked good were delicious and the quality was much better than what comes from commercial kitchens. I'm glad you got "donations". :)
Guess what? We're reading the same book! It's mind-boggling to think about all of these food "laws", isn't it?
Thanks for your encouraging words!

I'm glad that it all went well after all...in spite of the rain. The set up looks perfectly inviting. Let us know if you end up coming down this way, as we would love to get some of those tasty vegies from you. Are you planning to go ahead and get the kitchen certificate? What does it entail?

Dianna,
Don't know when we'll get down your way. We'd love for y'all to come and visit here.
We haven't yet decided about getting the certification. If you're interested, I can email you the information that I have about it.
Love,
Trish
