I googled "subscription boxes" and was really surprised by what google found.
I had no idea there were so many.
There's KitNip for cats, Cat Lady for cat ladies, Blue Apron and Hello Fresh for food.
Bark for dogs. Birch Box for cosmetics.
Art Snack for artists (and wanna-bes).
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I'm sure if you can imagine a box, there is one.
Why my sudden interest in boxes?
I heard about My Texas Market and decided to give it a try.

I heard about My Texas Market and decided to give it a try.
They send carefully-curated boxes filled with small batch,
artisan items from local Texas businesses to subscribers every month.
I started with their July box that celebrates My Texas Market turning one.
I had a good time opening the box.
A lot of information was provided about the contents.
There's cajeta from my favorite goat farmers at Blue Heron Farm.
Peach Jam from the The Peach Boys (too bad the sample jar is so small).
A soy cupcake scented candle from Ecobabe.
Cookie mix (gluten free) from Bona Dea.
Cornucopia Popcorn, Patriot Pop.
All Texas artisans and small businesses and
10% of all profits are donated to the Houston Food Bank.
I like that!

2. The Tour de France has started.
The countryside is so pretty.
Great history.
Armchair traveling at its best.
Let the cyclists do all the work!

3. Several years ago, I heard Martin Walker interviewed on NPR and I was hooked.
I wait patiently (??!!) for him to write another book in his wonderful Bruno series.
The latest is: Fatal Pursuit.
Bruno is chief of police in the beautiful village of St. Denis.
The characters are "characters", Balzac is a wonderful dog, the food sounds delicious.
There is history of the area and of France ... this time WWII and a missing Bugatti.
A little bit of everything including gardening by the lunar calendar.
This is a mystery series I really enjoy.
4. Every time I go to the grocery, I always stop and check out the flowers.
If there are carnations, they come home with me.
This time, they are pretty in pink!
5. All wrapped and ready for the baby shower this weekend.
Done!
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
