So, a little introduction may be in order for the newer visitors (hi NaBloPoMo people). Postcard and stamp collecting has become an almost all consuming hobby since I joined Postcrossing - gasp! - 17 years ago. It has its own wikipedia page. I collect a lot of cards from across Canada to send out (found at postcard shows) but the others, I say I accumulate rather than collect. A couple of local stamp dealers help with getting older Canadian stamps, which saves money in the long run, and, to me at least, is a fun and interesting addition to the backs of the postcards.
Although this particular Farmer's Market (in St Jacob's, celebrating 50 years!) isn't one of them, where I live, we are fortunate enough to have a farmer's market somewhere within a 20 minute drive every day of the week. Most of them are only open from June until October. I am already missing them. Supporting local growers is important, though expensive. So often my support might only be visiting and conversing with the vendors.
