Pairs: At the Market & On the Table

  • by

Goodness! How did it get to be Wednesday already? I popped open my Feedly this morning and saw all kinds of pairs posted already at Helena’s blog, and thought I’d better get with it. Fortunately, I have my pair for this week. On Saturday, Tracy and I made our annual “fall” trip to Ithaca. We went a little early this year since the Commons has just been renovated, and they were celebrating the reopening over the weekend. 

Our first stop, as always, was the Ithaca Farmer’s Market. It’s really one of the best ones I know, and we have a list of favorite stops there. It’s been awhile since I bought flowers there since I have to buy the container as well in order to keep them alive for the rest of the day and the 1 1/2 hour ride home. But I couldn’t resist.

The flowers I purchased are right there in the middle of the display.

And here they are on my kitchen table. The woman advised me to change the water every day. I have, and I’m happy to report they are still beautiful as I write this. Matt, Betsy, and the girls are coming for dinner tomorrow night, and I’ll move them to the dining room table. 

One other photo, just for fun. It’s not often I manage to get a fun selfie, but I caught both of us in these celebratory balloons on the Commons.

I’m off now to link up to Helena’s blog and check out all the other Pairs for the week.

  1. Flowers are wonderful – how does one make a choice? So many! Do enjoy them and thanks for sharing their ‘pulchritude’ with us.
    Love your selfie…they ARE the most fun with the multi-image mirrors.
    Cheers~

  2. Beautiful arrangement. I like the blends of such rich colours and being in wine containers is a bonus. Cute on the selfie.

  3. Looks like a great day! Fantastic selfie of the two of you.
    Ummmm . . . about this … It’s been awhile since I bought flowers there since I have to buy the container as well in order to keep them alive for the rest of the day and the 1 1/2 hour ride home” . . . maybe you could bring a container with water already in it next time. 🙂 Then you wouldn’t have to buy them in a container. (just a thought LOL) We’ve finally learned to take a trading card box with us in the backpack when we go to flea markets so we have a safe place for any new additions to Robbie’s collection! 🙂

  4. How clever to spot and take the reflection photos – and so clear too. And flowers so sumptuously tactile are going to look lovely on your table. Hope you had a lovely meal together.
