10:08
So the Ripe Market has finally returned to Zabeel Park
(every Friday 9am-3pm) & it seems to be busier than ever! I can't think of a
better way to spend our Friday mornings than a little shopping, eating from as
many different food vendors as we can & sipping fresh coconut water from
nothing other than a giant coconut - Coconut Man anyone? And this is all before
11am.
This time last year little L was only a few months old,
so we would be mostly strolling around the market with him in his pram; this
year we're enjoying chasing him around the grass, watching him attempt to play
with the older kids in the park & holding him back from trying to squash the
tortoise into the ground at the petting zoo... seriously.
Anyway, there are so many creative vendors at The Ripe
Market this year but I thought I would try and whittle it down to share just a
few of my favourites from the past couple of weeks....
Mama's Box
If you're looking
for something to buy a new mum / mum-to-be or even yourself, then let Mama's Box
help you out. They offer the perfect idea for a gift, with a 1, 3 or 6 month
subscription mum & baby will receive a box of goodies to suit either the
stage of pregnancy or age of baby. I really wish I had known about this while I
was pregnant, I would have loved this as a new mum; the early months after
giving birth can sometimes be so challenging that even the smallest things, like
a little box of goodies, can brighten up your day.

Coco
Yogo
Little L has a
slight dairy intolerance so I'm always keeping my eyes peeled for dairy free
products. I came across Coco Yogo at The Ripe Market two weeks ago & I'm
quickly becoming addicted to their dairy free, coconut based ice cream,
(especially the chocolate one) the only ice cream I can somehow manage to eat
before 11am. Coco Yogo offers a range of sweet & savory products; all
dairy & gluten free, including; cheesecakes, yoghurts, ice cream, &
more.
Take a look at their
website to see all of the products available nutritina.com
Moxilicious
I picked up these
stylish, grey coloured moccs for little L from Moxilitious, & now plan to
get some more. They are the perfect shoe for babies just learning to walk. This
particular style is from their new collection and is available in a selection of
different colours. The moccs are all handmade locally using the softest of
Italian leathers.

Ann Sofia's handmade
Jewelry
The very talented Ann-Sofia has been a regular vendor
at the Ripe Market for a few years now. Her jewellery is cute and quirky and
available in an array of different colours. My favourite at the moment has to be
her new leather strap bracelets, which you can customise. How cute are the
'proud mother' charms?

Sandal
Souq
Last week I bought my first pair of sandals from Sandal Souk; whose footwear is
functional and comfortable, but equally on trend! I just couldn't resist getting
my feet into these glitter covered beauties. They are available in gold, silver,
white, gun metal & multicoloured - which are the ones I bought; ideal for
adding a bit of sparkle an every day outfit.
