Saturday Meanderings

We went to the new Seaport Market on the waterfront in Halifax this afternoon and wandered around for a while. I much prefer the ambience of the original Farmer's Market, which is still operating on a reduced scale in the old Brewery building. The Seaport Market is open and airy with plate glass windows on two levels that look directly out onto the waters of Halifax Harbour and Georges and McNabs Islands. And while the water view is striking, I prefer the atmosphere of the old Brewery with its old architecture, low lighting, and a seemingly endless labyrinth of passageways that lead to area after area of vendors from all over the province.

However, today, I found a pretty pair of hand made earrings at a jewellery table operated by a very nice young couple. Their business is called Tribal Designs Organic Jewellery and I thought they had the prettiest pieces of all the jewellery vendors there today.
