Holiday markets, Virginia edition
|
Hi friends, Quick note to say: if you’re anywhere near Haymarket, VA this Saturday, something quietly good is happening. The Holiday Bazaar + tree lighting is one of those small-town afternoons where streets close, music drifts, kids zigzag between booths, and time slows down just enough to notice it. If you’ve ever lived overseas — especially in Europe — you might recognize the feeling. Holiday markets had a way of doing that. This feels like our version. I’ll be there with Weld + Wire Jewelry Bar, tucked into the mix on Washington Street, welding bracelets and anklets for anyone who wants to pause for a few minutes while the town does its thing around them. Mostly, this is just permission to explore your own backyard. To support local vendors. To support a military spouse-owned small business if that matters to you. Or to just wander, drink something warm, and let the season show up without forcing it. 📍 15000 Washington Street, Haymarket, VA If you come, I hope I run into you. xo, PS... If you've read this far here's a secret: my Rock Island Farm Rabbits will be available to snuggle at the W+W booth if you get welded! Come snuggle with us! |

Happy Saturday! Matthew and I are headed to Auburn’s 61st Veterans Parade this morning, and apparently my first instinct is still, “Should I bring a pan of something?” Three generations of military family life will do that to you. When I was a military spouse, I baked all the time. I’d know who I was baking for before I knew what I was making. I miss that part. I’m making Roxana’s oatmeal cherry chocolate chip bars. Yes, I know it’s pumpkin season. The pumpkin will be fine. I’m opening a can...
Happy Saturday! Raise your hand if you’re seeing pumpkins at every market you go to this season!? 🎃 A farmers market is actually where my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies started. I tried a cookie at the Proctor Farmers Market in Tacoma, WA and loved that combination enough to want to make my own. Pumpkin, warm spices, chocolate chips… and that soft, almost cake-like texture. That became the recipe I shared on JavaCupcake. So with pumpkins showing up everywhere again, I wanted to bring those...
Happy Saturday! If you're wondering what to make for breakfast this weekend, I've got you! 🍎 My Apple Pie Pancakes have been a fall favorite on JavaCupcake since I first shared them back in 2022, and there's a good reason readers keep coming back to this recipe. They're soft, fluffy, full of cinnamon and warm apple flavor, and taste like a little slice of apple pie for breakfast. Here's what makes them so good: Applesauce goes right into the pancake batter! It adds moisture and apple flavor...
