FREE
June 10, 2009As it turns out, love is not the only thing free in this world. And as luck would have it, we found it smack dab in our little town commons. Once a month, Carrboro hosts the Really Really Free Market! It’s a great concept and I’m looking forward to encouraging my neighbors and friends to come on down and share the wealth!

In case you’re scratching your head, Carrboro.com has done a great job wrapping up the purpose of the Really Really Free Market:
Because there’s enough for everyone Because sharing is more fulfilling than owning Because corporations would rather the landfills overflow than anyone get anything for free Because scarcity is a myth constructed to keep us at the mercy of the economy Because a sunny day outside is better than anything money could buy Because “free trade” is a contradiction in terms Because no one should have to do without food, shelter, entertainment and community Because life should be a picnic, but it only will be if we make it happen
Believe it! We found hot meals, local produce, baked goods and knick-knacks galore. It’s kind of like a garage sale, but without all the 25 cent stickers and all the negotiating.
For those of you who attended June’s market, you may have seen me there! I decided my contribution would come in the form of an edible, and since I just discovered a delicious cookie recipe from 101 Cookbooks, I had to share them with the world. Or at least with the fine folks of Carrboro.

And that’s not all! Going forward, I’ll be attending the Really Really Free Market monthly and donating cookies or other homemade goods along with…
FREE PHOTOGRAPHY!
Come track me down by looking for me and my goodie bags adorned in the Wander & Scrawl logo. The first person to introduce themselves and reference my blog gets a FREE portrait mini-session.
A mini-session is a 30 minute photo shoot at a local outdoor setting and includes a disc of 10 fully edited and retouched digital images.
Come on, what’s stopping you? It’s really, really free.
