Most Saturdays we go to the market, a trip everyone in my family enjoys. DS finishes his tennis class mid morning, and after picking him up, we wander across to the boulangerie for a fresh baguette, and then to a café for a café crème and a chocolat chaud. Today we were sitting outside in the warm sunshine, it was truly lovely. On the way back, we get our fruits, vegetables and cheese for the weekend.
The colours and abundance of the produce are always such a feast for the eyes

I was thrilled to see the first Mimosa flowers of the year, a sure sign that Spring is coming closer..
Sharing a joke with DS, who has got such a knack for making me laugh

For dinner tonight we'll have artichokes, along with some freshly made artichoke tortellinis we bought at our favorite pasta stall.
Wishing everyone a happy weekend!
What darling pictures, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful market colouring and beautiful fur band accompanied by H scarf. I also love Saturday ritual, but, for sake of longer sleeping on Saturday morning, I am replacing it with Friday evening shopping which is not equally colourful though. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! And the mimosa flowers are a sure way to put a smile on anyone's face. So bright and cheerful. Thank you for sharing dear MT.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.

Beautiful! I can smell the oranges.

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday too, dear Tabitha!
Lol re sleeping in, dear Durdica, I wish! ;-) Happy Sunday!
Love the Mimosas for exactly the same reason, my dear booksnchocolate, don't they look like a thousand little spring suns!
It is always fun to take you girls with me, my dear Manuela, happy you enjoyed the trip x
Oh, what was for dinner my dear Trudye, I bet something delicious! Will toast you tonight in return, and wishing you a lovely Sunday too <3
Thank you, FemmesdesFoulards, I am glad you appreciate it :)
Sending a few over to you right now, dear Elaine!
Warm greetings from one market lover to another, dear Miss Kitty-Kat!
So lovely to hear you enjoyed our family market visit, my dear Scarf Enthusiast! It is always such a happy time, and my most prefered way to start the weekend! Wishing you a joyous and wonderful Sunday <3
MaiTai, these types of post's are my favorite. Do I spot gold hardware on your birkin or is it palladium? Julia
ReplyDeleteGreat photos MaiTai - and I envy you the warm sunshine it is grey and windy here! Thank you for showing us these lovely colourful pictures. SAx
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if we are all craving the sunshine and doing out best to seek out the light! Sunblock in hand I hope your journey today took you close to that charming little place by the sea that is such a chameleon with each season.Ah, to dream!
ReplyDeleteWhilst shopping for our dinner at Whole Foods,I pretended I was in your beautiful outdoor market amid the colorful produce.....it almost worked;)
Cheers to Sunday adventures for all<3

Thank you for giving me the biggest smile! Beautiful pictures as always!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see the first signs of Spring, always a lovely sight after a long winter. The market looks wonderful and it's a great way to make Saturday mornings special. The chocolat chaud sounds particularly delicious! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a request MaiTai, and hope you won't mind. I've been enjoying making your delicious soup and pesto, and wondered if you had another wonderful recipe you would mind sharing with us? Perhaps something that says 'Spring' to you? My boyfriend, who is Italian, loved the pesto so much that all the extra I made for the freezer disappeared in a couple of weeks!
Have a lovely week,
Melusine x
How attractive- I want to shop there too x
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, and thank you. The hardware is palladium :-)
ReplyDeleteHope the weather chez vous will improve soon, dear SA!
If only, my dear Trudye! Sunday was even more glorious, a cloudless sky and warm enough to go outside in a t-shirt. No frolocking at the beach though, but a 15 km rollerblade 'promenade' with DS and DH instead. At least the café on the way had macarons...
Sunshine and hugs to you, dear gracekelly!
How wonderful to hear that the soup and pesto recipes were a success, and lol re your BF! I am glad you reminded me to post another recipe soon, I sometimes forget...it's been far to long!
I wish you could just hop over, my dear FF x
Ooh, I really miss the market.. beautiful weather on a lovely day! The mimosas are beautiful too, thank you for sharing with us xx
ReplyDeleteAww, dear lifeatmyfingertips, we had such fun at the markets! Hope we can repeat it one day soon x
