Things In My House Thursday #4

This is a fairly new addition to our home decor; a little candle lantern that I bought recently at the Farmer's Market. It is hanging in the atrium, on one of the ficus tree branches.

I picked up this bright yellow lantern from a booth operated by a beekeeper. It came with 3 or 4 little (votive size) beeswax candles for only $9.00 !


The booth is interesting because they always set up a display of the real, live bees in action - scary, except that they are housed between sheets of glass; it's like a large ant farm.


I also bought honey - and I can affirm that very fresh, local honey is different (way better) than even the ''best'' (organic, expensive, etc.) store-bought honey. I - and Christopher - can also confirm that local honey consumption really does lessen the severity of outdoor allergies - dramatically.


I've found so many interesting things at the Market this summer - in addition to the great fruits and veggies. I've bought plants, coffee, baked goods, flavored butter, earrings, goat's milk soap and lotion, a bird feeder, Christmas ornament, etc. It's all good!
