Teapot Tuesday is holding a farmer's market. Bring your garden bounty or fresh-baked goodies and join the fun: MMTPT361 ~ June 30. 2015 ~ To Market, To Market... by stampingwriter at Splitcoaststampers
I'm bringing vine-ripe tomatoes and some heirloom seed packets. Card is pretty self-explanatory and simple because I wanted to highlight the image.
Luckily I have tomatoes this year. Last year deer got into my garden and ate them all. So discouraging... This year we put up some temporary fencing and i bought a bunch of heirloom tomato seedlings at the master gardener's sale. So far we have had some yummy yellow Brandywines, and a Black Krim is ripening right now.

Yummy.......vine ripened tomatoes! Such pretty colouring. And if you planted zucchini squash, you will soon need a large wagon to take them all to market!

Thank you for a great story and fun challenge Sandy. I love farmers markets, especially the heirloom tomatoes and you have captured them perfectly in your card. I love the white embossing on the craft card, combined with the layered image.

Lovely tomatoes here. My aunt lived near a lake and had trouble with deer too, so she as well had to put like 6 foot fences around her garden, she had 4 foot ones and they cleared that easily. But I am excited for you with your fresh tomatoes..they are sooo yummy. they have so much more flavor then ones from the store. we have a lot of plants this year, lol...bought 6 plants and like at least a dozen, would have been more but I threw some out, but they come from our compost, so just never know what your going to get....he he,just like Forrest Gumps box of chocolates...TFS

This is perfect for a Farmer's Market theme! Heirloom tomatoes are the best! I have a small growing space but I have 2 cherry tomato plants, one of them an heirloom variety...blond kopfchen...they're little yellow ones and oh so sweet. Can't wait for them to be ready. Great card Sandy!
