Jayne Siwik at the Hamilton Farmers' Market
Fresh blooms- justifiably extravagant: give them to your mother, the hostess of the next big bash on your calendar, or just drop them into a vase and enjoy! [When placing flowers in water, cut the stems at an angle, under a running tap, and plunge into a vase of water immediately].
Choose foods you'll eat straight away, like a lovely loaf of bread- perfect for antipasto and dipping in bread and oil at lunchtime! When buying produce, try to buy for a few days at a time- you'll get out in the fresh market air more often and you won't waste food or money.
Try everything! Markets are wonderful places to sample a new food. Always a worthwhile adventure- samosas. If you ask nicely, you can even get yours heated up to eat straight away.
Always carry a roomy bag to stow away your purchases and cut back on those plastic bags.
What to Wear
- Flats for sure- be sure you're ready for a long meandering stroll!
- Jeans or casual attire are more than acceptable in the marketplace- one should not ever avoid dressing up, but pearls and lace might be more fitting in a different environment
- Scarves
- Skirt and thick tights
- A comfy button-down shirt
- Chunky knits
- Relaxed makeup and hair- it's the market, not prom! Pull your hair back into a ponytail, or let it hang down your back in soft pretty waves. Open up your eyes with a little mascara, carry a little lip balm and encourage a healthy glow with a dusting of blush, and you're good to go!
