It's week 2 at The Little Italy Mercato and I designed some new Dog jewelry in honor of all of the dogs that come to the market each week. Each pendant is a vintage chandelier crystal with an image from a vintage dictionary glazed onto the back. The piece is wire wrapped and finished with swarovski crystals. The vintage images are truly unique. Unfortunately, all breeds are not available.
It's very early at The Mercato as we wait for Joe's on The Nose to open. Our lattes are artfully decorated with a foamy milk heart. We take our lattes and head over to Loic Patisserie for blueberry scones. (We really want to try a new pastry booth this week but they are the only one open as we are setting up!). After a busy day of selling, my husband tries the Pad Thai at Saranya & The Black Thai. It was good but I went for the Eggplant Parmesean from....sorry, the photo didn't come out!
The eggplant was perfect, just enough breading, light fresh tomato sauce and a small hunk of bread. Yum! Ok, the pasta my husband picked out to take home this week? Lemon Basil linguine! I think we've had lemon basil something for 3 weeks now, we need a new flavor. But-it was excellent with their sundried tomato pesto-I could eat the pesto alone with a loaf of bread :)
Hope to see you next week at The Mercato!
Buona Sera Signora! I am so happy for you, I love Little Italy and if I was not so so busy I would join you. I may come and visit one of these days. I love both posts that you wrote, and the Bocce game, I do play Bocce! oh, and could you please buy some basil pasta for me? lol Ciao Rita
ReplyDeleteHi Gina,
ReplyDeleteHey that's a great idea making dog pendants, and they look really cute too. Isn't it funny how many dogs you see at these events? The farmer's market looks like fun, and I wish you loads of success!
Take care,
Martha
