Please meet the first post of my Saturday Snapshot series! I wanted to post a photo each week of the coolest or most inspiring thing I had seen all week. As I am currently living in Michigan my life is not that interesting, but bear with me – I just got news from France that the ministry of labor approved my au pair papers! I should be in Paris in less than three weeks.
Here is an embarrassing confession; I grew up in the Detroit area and I have never been to the beloved farmers market, known as the Eastern Market. Today was my first trip and I loved it! The Michigan fall produce was beautiful, from the wax beans to the baby eggplants, and the vendors were fun to chat with. 
This is a photo of the street art vegetable cow I found at the market. I loved picking her apart – the cucumber mouth, bok choy legs and cherry tomato eyes. There will be a post about the market soon!

Hi Adrian, thanks for stopping by! I do love French culture, especially the wine, bread and cheese, haha.
i love markets…i always stumble upon the coolest finds and foods there.
They’re so much fun and a great way to find something to eat as well as see the local culture. Whenever I’m in a new cities it’s usually one of the first things I do! How are the Norwegian markets?
