Last week, I unexpectedly came across a pop-up market in the parking lot of one of my favourite coffee shops, the Locomotive Expresso. They had various vendors selling baked goods, plants, and books. It genuinely felt like I was stepping into a dream where all my favourite things were in one place! 

The market’s highlight was the book vendor, who had transformed a vintage aquamarine trailer into a mobile library. The interior was cozy and inviting, filled with various second-hand books categorized by genre. Being in the trailer was very peaceful, and I completely lost track of time as I explored the shelves and chatted with the owners about their unique business and the books I picked out.

I walked home with my heart full, excited to dive into the book and blueberry scone I bought. It had been a busy and stressful week, and this little adventure brought me so much joy. I also felt grateful for this reminder to slow down and spend time doing things I love. Sometimes, we tend to focus too much on the big things in life and forget to appreciate the small ones.
