I was thrilled to donate some tasty vegan cookies for the Pretty Kitty Bazaar benefiting today at Taborspace! We stopped by and it looked like there was a huge turnout, which is amazing to see. We picked up this amazing bed for our cat, Astro, and I got these lovely sounding coffee beans by that I’m so excited about!

FINALLY tried the chocolate cherry streusel cake at by and it was completely delectable.

With a friend visiting we took the opportunity to finally go check out the Saturday Market. I didn’t entirely know what to expect to see and it was a such a delight! There are so many wonderful artists and the all the mix of smells from the food carts reminded me of growing up going to the Washington County Fair in RI. I loved being by the river, maybe another consequence of growing up in RI that my mood lifts anytime I’m near the water haha! We got a super tasty lunch from Honey Thai, a cart near the market at SW 3rd and Washington. Lastly, we took our friend to see the Portlandia statue before I heading home to relax! It was a gorgeous day and it was lovely to spend some time downtown without having to rush around.
