“of National Doughnut Day, or National Donut Day, celebrated in the United States of America, is on the first Friday of June each year, succeeding the Doughnut Day event created by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the men and women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. The holiday celebrates the doughnut (a.k.a. “donut”) – an edible, torus-shaped piece of dough which is deep-fried and sweetened. Many American doughnut stores offer free doughnuts on National Doughnut Day. In 2009, both independent doughnut shops and large national franchises offered free doughnuts in the United States.”
Co-incidentally I had just taken these pictures at North Market when I was in Columbus! This is across the street from the convention center. Teaching, walking the show floor and shopping, networking, talking and buying is hard work, so a trip across the street is always a must!
It seems as if the cloudy overcast weather followed me from San Diego. I love going across the street to North Market where you can eat your way around while you shop, shop, shop!
Card shopping, is another favorite of mine and it’s just the not the same looking at cards since I visited Whidbey Island and stayed with my dear friend Donnelle…this one’s for you!
Feeding the pig supports local charities and note the mouse peeking out of the chunk of cheese, which hung over the counter at this cheese shop.
Market was wonderful as always and over the next up and coming days, I will have lots of pictures of new canvases and stuff!
and until next time…keep on stitching
I love marketplaces! I’m lucky to have one in my town, but the bakery doesn’t have donuts. It does have incredible breads, savory pizzas, my favorite cheese sticks (length of bread dough with cheese kneaded in, covered with whatever seeds they have on hand), delicious tarts, I could go on and on. I love the lime tart with meringue topping. Looking forward to photos of the new stuff.
so wish we had that here in San Diego!
I’m lucky that my small town can sustain a marketplace. The marketplace has a natural foods/organic grocery store, a butcher/fishmonger, wine and cheese shop, kitchen supply store (my favorite to browse thru), a fair trade coffee shop, a sushi bar (yum, one of our favorites), a sandwich and soup place, another sandwich place owned by the butcher, a pizza restaurant with full bar, and the bakery, owned by the husband of the woman who owns the salad/sandwich place. Those are under one roof. Oh, and the grocery store has bee hives on the roof, and sells the honey. An older couple are the bee keepers, and I see them occasionally walking thru the building with their bee keeping outfits. Then another two buildings were built on the empty lot next door. One building is a national chain drugstore, and the other building has small storefronts being leased out. One storefront will have a higher end restaurant. This marketplace is one of my favorite areas to shop. NIAH is looking for a new smaller home. I have dreams that it will move into one of the storefronts,, and that the other storefronts will be filled with a yarn shop, and a fabric store. Dream dream dream….
sounds wonderful!
