    Oooooh! You found the cupcake sandals! YAYYYY! I looked for them here, but they were sold out. They are absolutely adorable.

    And I am sooo jealous of the ripe blueberries…we are still at least a week out here. I can’t wait though.

    Yes, finally! Happened to be in the area of a different Target this weekend and spied them on …. the clearance rack! One size too big, but better than not at all!

    Starnesfam – me too! Love farmer’s market season and take full advantage since it’s only until November here.

    Jan – but now the decisions …. how much to get? what to do with them? how much to freeze up for the winter? good problems to have. :)

    Kris – the pictures from the last three weeks have been the one in Summit (Sundays). Love that one! They moved the Madison one to the center of town (much better location), so planning on hitting them this week. The Morristown one is also good (Sundays too), and the Boonton one, although smaller, is a nice quick stop on Saturdays. There’s one in Wharton too, although I haven’t been yet.

    Claire – I spotted the sandals some 3-4 months ago, but they never had her size, or anything close to it. Scored this pair this weekend – how can we not have cupcake sandals, especially when they’re on the clearance rack?!

    Joanne – finally someone mentions the strawberry! ;) I’m a sucker for heart-shaped rocks and shells, but this is the first time for strawberry. Love those plates – it almost makes the dishwasher chore fun!

    Patsy – lol, I may or may not have purchased a few pints. :) To tell you the truth, none of us like eating them straight from hand, so they’re going in recipes… so far this week, Lemon Blueberry Muffins… mmm.

    Magda – I know, right?! Those tomatoes were seriously on steroids – so crazy big!

    Amanda – someone on Flickr said theirs (I think in Singapore) were $9 – can you imagine?! Ouch!

    Debbie – they were so big, and so juicy. The little monkey was in all her glory!

    Melissa and Nick – definitely muffins. And caprese sounds perfect!
