Recently, I started a neighborhood sharing network. The purpose is to encourage people in my community of Costa Mesa to reduce their consumption by sharing goods and resources – like household items, power tools, sports equipment and other stuff. The group recently went on a field trip to the SOCO Farmers Market where we found a little bit of green inspiration.
“You can be a little green, or a lot green,” was the mantra of Cate Baird, designer and owner of Mixed Greens – a home decor shop. Her boutique at the SOCO Market was filled with a menagerie of rugs, furniture and vintage objects; refashioned into stylish home decor.
Kermit was right, it’s not easy being green, but every little bit helps. Below are a few highlights from our first Field Trip to the SOCO Farmers Market.

This smelled glorious - lemon herbed salt mix from Mangi Con Amore
Such a welcome break from pushing a cart around a grocery store
