FANtastic Finds

Yesterday, I (Emily) went out on my own (without Jon) and met up with some girlfriends at the market...Jon usually goes to the market for us (and will continue to do so due to my lack of "carrying groceries back to the house" ability)...but my adventure made for some terrific finds! 

The fact that they all happen to be green is just one of those "Emily, these were meant for you" moments...or...maybe their green color is what drew my eye to them!?! 

Never the less...here are a few things that made my Saturday awesome:

Fan fabric...I was on a mission to find fabric for a skirt and a dress...and saw this...and could not pass it up...not only are fans like this not seen too regularly here...it also reminded me of my mother's fan love/necessity...so I bought it to share with her (no, I will not have a fan skirt/dress)

Apple soda! There is a plethora of citrus and black currant Fanta in Rwanda...but this is the first apple soda I have found! It also brought me back to my Chicago days, where I fell in love with the Mexican apple sodas, Manzanita Sol and Sidral Mundet

AND last but not least...Sour Cream + Onion Pringles! We have found plain and paprika...but not SOUR CREAM AND ONION!!!!! (The store I found these at also had pizza flavor...which I am not a fan of)

So you see, it's the little things...I think finding these things were most enjoyable because my girlfriends and Jon also shared in the excitement...it's always better to have others to be overly happy about the little things with you :)

Much love,
Emily Elizabeth
