Sunday Market

I know I have posted photos of the Sunday market in St. Antonin before. That was, of course, when I was still in the states & dreaming of being in France. Those were older photos, some even came from the internet, I believe. These, on the other hand, were taken just last Sunday. What can I say, I love everything about going to the market every Sunday.




I love the market for it's shear beauty, for the colors, the shapes, & of course, for the produce.




I love the the variety of olives. Only a few, of the many varieties, are pictured here.




I am so happy to be in this part of France, early enough for the cherries, this year. They are so beautiful & so good!




I couldn't resist these colorful baskets. Although, I have two useful canvas shopping bags, I may have to invest in one of these. But which one? I love how everyone really uses their special baskets & bags to do their shopping. So old fashion, & yet, so "au courant" at the same time.




How could you not love the artistry of these wonderful cheeses.




Most of all, I just love the earthy simplicity of the Sunday market in
St. Antonin.
