I participated as a vendor at The New Holland Farmer's Market this morning. It was a wonderful day in many ways. It was rewarding when lots of sweet people were complimentary about my handcrafted "wares". I sold more items than I expected to. But, what was even better was...

Congratulations on another day at market. Why does it always take looking at others for us to notice how blessed we are? Glad you had a great day.
thanks for the reminder... :)
Glad you did well Saturday and that God placed Jesus working through that young mother in the space with you :-)

Hi Amy! What a lovely tribute! You are sweet! I told many of my friends that no matter the sales (or lack thereof) I made that day, it was worth it just to meet you! I was refreshed by your evident love for God and for the beauty in life. I plan to be a regular on your blog :)
