Cooling breezes wafted across the vendors tables at Shreveport's riverfront Farmer's Market. The enormous steel and wood canopy which enhances the breeze is new. It brings a touch of elegant design as well as vast shade to Festival Plaza, downtown Shreveport.
Sheila Kelly proferred her home-made herbed butters as well as a china butter keeper. Noma Fowler-Sandlin had all manner of jellies, from blueberry to mint tea. Chris Fowler-Sandlin, bibliophile ("Bibliomaniac is more like it,"quipped Noma; "It's gone well past - philia.") had used books, uncluding National Book Awards and Newberry Award books. "I'm selling books I bought in Britain online as well as here," he explained.
Nearby were vendors selling salsas, pastas, flowers, melons, fruit and vegetables, fruit smoothies and more.
It is a swell scene Sats from 7 am (to get a good slot vendors are arriving before 6 am) to 11:30. Many of the vendors are back on Weds, the same hours.

I have the best-looking friends ever.
handsome is as handsome does, too
How I hated to miss the first market as I'm sorely in need of some Pan's Pantry jam! Can't wait until this coming Saturday or maybe I can sneak by Wednesday. Great to see this treasure crank up again in old Shrevesport (as my out-of-town relatives call it).
