Today, I piled into a van with 6 other ladies and headed to the Ten Thousand Villages, an international fair trade market that supports people all around the world who hand craft many items. Everything from coffee to Christmas ornaments.
So as I roamed around the room admiring the wide variety of option available for sale, I stayed true to my purchasing mantra these days: small and travel size! So for me it was a pair of earrings and a necklace. Easy to pack and take anywhere. ;)
The hosts of the event even set up a small cafe where you could stay and have soup, coffee, and desserts. The group of us did stay and did just that and were able to visit more before packing up our bags of purchased goodies and heading home. It was a lovely morning and lunch and fun to be a part of the group.
Tonight, I am also excited to visit with friends from my hometown who are in Canada visiting family. I know them from growing up next door to them and being best friends with their daughter. I'm blessed to have a friendship with her that goes back to when we were 4 or 5 years old and continues today and I enjoy the times I can reconnect with any part of the family, as they are all dear to my heart. So tonight we are both taking a time out visiting our individual families, to get together and visit one another!
