There are few places in DC that I like more then Eastern Market in the summer. If you haven't been there, you must go, and soon! I love the flea market and the farmers selling their goods, the artists and their goods and the live music. I love all the area shops and restaurants. I love the Polish man selling the Boleslawiec pottery. I love the crafts and the handmade jewelry. On occasion, there is an Amish farmer there selling furniture. Granted my Capitol Hill efficiency isn't roomy enough for his beautiful pieces, but I can dream, right? I love the rows of fresh produce from Maryland, Virginia and sometimes West Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Yesterday included a trip to Wegmans and then a movie. Today will include a trip to Eastern Market. Then I suppose I should write my Mothers Day cards and get those in the mail....

- I grew up in New England and now I live in Washington, DC where I work for the federal government. I've lived abroad in Luxembourg, Poland and Canada, and would like to live abroad again. I love to travel and fill my passport with stamps. I read a lot and want to build libraries where they don't have any. I have a lot of cookbooks and love using them. I have an adorable godson named Jackson. I also sponsor two little girls through World Vision; six-year old Majlinda in Albania and two-year old Boikokobetso in South Africa. I love cupcakes, poppies, chocolate chip pancakes, peonies, strawberries and deviled eggs. I collect tea towels, teapots, Boleslawiec Polish pottery, vintage sewing supplies, Peter Rabbit books/pieces and Russian babushka nesting dolls. My two favorite childrens books of all time are Miss Rumphius and The Velveteen Rabbit and I would like to write my own books someday. I'm learning to quilt and have become a bit obsessed with buying fabric! I also love red shoes and wear them frequently. Steve, my boyfriend, keeps me sane most days, except for the ones when he's the one making me crazy! All in all, life is good and keeps me on my toes.
