The Market Comes To Town

Town's much bigger than Dundalk have successful markets but for a variety of reasons, much too complicated and long-winded to go into now, there isn't a regular market in town. Yes, there are a
handful of producers who sell their produce on Fridays but it's a small low-key affair.

Festival Market

The Festival of Light festival (nothing to do with the Hindu festival Diwali but all to do with kick-starting the Christmas shopping season) took place last night. I'd intended to go, hoping to get some
interesting low light shots of the parade, bands, and street performers, but it started to rain and I didn't want to get my camera wet.

     My talented friend Patricia was selling her pastel drawings and dough art  so I dropped by today.

                                       There were lots of interesting crafts and foodstuffs.

Some  you could eat......

......and some you couldn't

I met Inga who works in felt 

and makes beautiful booties

and the  most unusual jewellery out of wool and zips

Bronagh makes hats for weddings

and Jenny from Ferdia Foods was giving out samples of Danucci chocolate

I gave  into temptation at the jam and chutney stall
