Trey and I made a quick stop down there the other afternoon. We enjoyed perusing through the quaint shop and picking up a few items (Lemon olive oil from All Spice, organic bell peppers, and Great Harvest Bread. Below are some pics for you enjoyment….it hardly captures the beauty of all the colorful and nutritious produce.
Trey waiting patiently as I snap some pictures
Isn’t it all so beautiful!?
Let me know when you stop by, what you purchase, and your thoughts!
Until next time…
look good, feel good, do good

Great pics- what a little trooper, sitting for the perfect photo op! We will have to make a trip down to Valley Junction with the boys sometime soon so you can show me the ropes! 😉
For sure! I would have had other pics but Trey had a fuzz (or boog) hanging from his noise 🙂 so it would be nice to have some help. I guess there were those 3 nice old ladies behind me trying to make him smile. If you’re reading….thank you!
