Bellingham Farmer's Market - hippies have FUN on Saturday!


By Caramel Onion (Visit website)






Reagan and I went to Bellingham in the Puget Sound last weekend for the fourth. My girlfriend was getting married, and we had fun playing in the town we lived when we first got married. The town is truly amazing - it's an art, film and music lover's paradise. And if you happen to love local culture and excessive amounts of locally grown fruits, flowers, vegetables, soap, purses and...everything, you're in luck. Or, anyway, I was when I lived there while going to school. Viva la Bellingham!

I wanted to share my adventures at the farmer's market, because it's so amazing what ordinary people can do - usually in their spare time. These are some of my favorite vendors.  

This lovely woman runs her Dona Flora stand out of her backyard flower garden. She keeps strictly seasonal flowers, and always makes color arrangements that are spectacularly unique.


Truth be told, Dona doesn't know it, but she did the flowers for my wedding. I stopped by the Saturday before we got married and bought twenty arrangements, cleaned her out and had the most beautiful Easter wedding EVER. 



These are all handmade by a woman who spins and dyes her own wool. She sells the skeins mostly, never her products, making everyone who walks by want to immediately take up knitting.


Felted wool keychains? I've also seen her felt rocks. Beautiful, soft colors with cute holes over smooth...rocks. Why? Because she can.

This is Texture, an all-hemp clothing line that makes not only the comfiest, but the cutest hemp clothes ever. The business is owned and run by a woman named Teresa, who is a crusader for the rights to grow hemp in the US. 

Those vegetables make amazing dinners. Mmm!

Beautiful, handmade bench seats. Oh, why didn't I buy one!

Here are the herbs for dinner...

And for the finale - music. There were about four performers performing simultaneously within Depot square, which is not very big. There was an upright bass player and a tap dancer,  a ukulele, a harpist and...this guy.



And, of course, the token operatic adaptation of the Ugly Duckling.




Hope you enjoyed! Stop by again soon - life has been not giving me much time for writing, but I'll be back to a regular schedule soon.
