There were so many beautiful things to see on Saturday at the Roanoke City Market I went a little overboard with the pictures. Hopefully your internet service can handle all the photos I want to share with you.
From the Farmers
Rolling Meadows Farms had loads of beautiful daisies for sale.
They were available in a number of different colors.
Tim also had flowers in what he calls his Virgina Tech colors. These flowers came in burgundy and peach.
He also carries a wide assortment of succulents.
Julia Light had fresh cut flowers for sale alongside iris bulbs and hyacinth bushes ready for planting.
Scott sold beautiful wreaths made from dried flowers.
Walter’s Greenhouse offered a huge assortment of plants including this interesting yellow flower that just says “Wow!”
I also thought this pink trailing flower was beautiful.
Riverside Nursery had some neat looking ageratums ready to plant.
John was also selling this beauty.
Jack Ferguson was selling fresh eggs and kale.
There were also delicious cuts of pork from Sandy River Pork.
From the Crafters
Dana James was selling butterfly and dragonfly sun catchers made from fused glass.
Ben Crooks had his usual assortment of rocks, minerals and fossils on hand.
Linda brought her beautiful sea glass jewelry down to sell.
While Little Creek Forge was selling key chains of the state flower, the dogwood.
Penny Lane had more of her wonderful fungi jewelry for sale.
And Steve of Little Blue Woman Candles brought these tea light candle holders to lure potential customers.
Sherry was selling unique, hand thrown vases.
And pots.
Anne brought more of her jewelry down to the Market. I especially like this piece as the stones remind me of acorns.
This pendant also grabbed my attention.
Kari was selling her hand painted, tin wall vases along with an assortment of fun birdhouses and mirrors.
Kyle and Dave were selling their party platters. I thought this blue platter really stood out.
Rebecca’s Soap Delicatessen brought out her new Juicy Grapefruit soap and lotion for a perfectly pampered you.
And Cheryl had a new one of a kind journal for sale.
From the Shops
Okay, so I didn’t really get to focus much on the shops along Market St, but here are a few things I did find. If you’re interested in seeing more from the Market Street shops, please let me know.
Baking dishes on sale at Ladles and Linens.
Yard art from Good Things on the Market.
And a cat shaped watering can from The Gift Niche.
Finally, we finished off the dinner with a Creamsicle-Ginger Float. It was both fun to eat and delicious.
