Hi everyone, and a very Happy Mothers day to all the Mum's out there for tomorrow.
A very dear friend of mine has today become a "Nana" for the fist time and the joy that has bought to her and her husband was so very precious to see.
We all know that family dynamics can sometimes be challenging but within that, isn't it wonderful to have family. To be accepted for who you are, to have shared memories that no one else can have shared, growing up together as a family.
It's pretty special.
So this evening I am not going to post loads of photos of all the stall holders.
I will mention 2 new stall holders joining us tomorrow, Edward, I came across at my Matakana market last Saturday and encouraged him to join our market.
Edward is steeped in traditional Māori medicinal plants. He makes healing balms from our native plants. These include balms for eczema, restful sleep, coughs and chest support, healing tonic for woman. He is so knowledgeable, and has spent his life studying and working with our native plants.
We also welcome Eco wick. Below is a brief "blurb" from them.
Urvashi creates stunning candle bouquets and hand-poured *coconut wax*
> jars. All fragrances are *paraben-free, phthalate-free, and
> toxin-free*. We’re proudly *cruelty-free* and made with the
> environment in mind.
I'm loving all these vendors that are so aligned with the values of our Farmers Market.
Off to bed soon, another 4am start. See you all in the morning ☺
