Craft fair adventures

The table at the fair

Creating a Zen Gypsies lifestyle offers infinite opportunities to nurture yourself while you go about the everyday.  Being mindful or living fully in the present can be fostered in many ways. It can be taking time out for meditation or something as simple as taking a relaxing bath or walk which gives you a few minutes away from all the various obligations vying for your attention so you can just be.  Our holistic approach to creating a rich and fulfilling life explores many options to explore to foster mindfulness in your daily life.

For us, nourishing ourselves both from the inside by eating healthy meals such as salads in a jar or taking care of our skin by using the most pure body products we can is something we strive to do whenever possible.  There are many good organic and natural beauty product options available commercially, but with a little creative play in the kitchen, it is possible to make many of these products economically at home.  As we were testing some of these recipes to be able to share them with everyone in future workshops, we decided to make a few limited edition small batches for a local craft and vendor fair hosted by the Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department in Leonardtown, MD near the Chesapeake Bay. Here are some photos of the results of our adventures in the kitchen and at the fair.

The Zen Gypsies table at the market

We had a wonderful time at the event, and enjoyed meeting other local artists and vendors.  We weren't able to make it around to all the buildings, but we did get a chance to check out a few of the vendors and a few favorites included Dottie's Dips (delicious mixes you add to fresh ingredients to make dips or marinades) and the doTerra essential oils display.  Thanks to all of our local friends who were able to stop by our table to support us in person and for all the well wishes from those who couldn't be there.
