Cork Rebel Week

So  my friend Lisa brought me to Cork Rebel Week's Rebel Food Market this Wednesday! 

--Thank you Lisa for convincing me to go!--

There was free face-painting (the line was too long or else I would have gotten something!)

and there was balloon-making by another my other friend Victor! 

But best of all, FREE SAMPLES!

Mulled wine and apple juice - yum!

I really wanted to ask for a brown giraffe I was going to name Rabbit (just for you Ciara) and a red one named Hatchworth (for Aliette) and a blue one named Spine... but the Q was too long. 
For anyone who does not know about Steam Powered Giraffe--now you do.

You are welcome ;)

lemon curd is yummy. om nom nom

the market was both inside and outside!

CHOCOLATE! (lots of it!)
what could be better?

Oh, and for those who asked me:
Cork Independence Day takes place on Wednesday, October 16th, in celebration of both the birth of the revered Irish military leader Michael Collins in West Cork and also in recognition of World Food Day.
