I’ve already professed my love for the farmer’s markets here in Chicago, but if I had my way I would spend my time traveling through the markets across Europe. There’s something about the way they present the food and the idea that locals go there everyday to buy fresh ingredients for that night’s meal. Set up in open plazas or packed into narrow cobblestone alleys, they are always charming and always inspiring.
While looking through photographs from my friend’s recent trip to Italy, I was reminded both of my nostalgia of such magical places and of the incredible colors that can be found in the simplest and most natural of items. Produce especially offers an unimaginable array of colors – even the understated muted tones are exquisite. If I could paint my world in these purple artichokes, I would!

I’m with you Kristen on the market, fresh European produce, and that lush color of nature…the combo is irresistible!
“Paint your world…” ahh & mother’s nature’s palette it truly is perfect! Such a lovely turn of phrase. Thanks for sharing the images and inspiration…because even though we work together this made my day!
