Fête de la Branda -Argan Oil
The stall holders in Gorbio are getting ready for the day. This lady will be selling products made from huile d'Argan (argan oil) and as you see, she's having a fair amount of trouble fixing her publicity material. In the last photo, she's waiting for a fellow stall holder to give her a pin or clip to fix it.
Argan Oil comes from the seed of a Moroccan tree called arganier spinosa - you can read about its properties by clicking on the link.
l'affiche est superbe et la dame acrobatique
ReplyDeleteThese are marvelous captures in which the secret of beauty is revealed, indeed.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch here. I love the way the lady is dressed, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm still on sabbatical but am quickly visiting some of my favorite blogs this morning! Making plans to spend the winter in Santa Fe this year, despite the fact that it snows thre, too. Love the shoes on the woman. Such a brillant shade of blue...matches her scarf.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought that Argan oil was just for cooking!! I must give it a try as an after shave. Although it's clear that the men of the Atlas mountains don't always bother to shave.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely banner! I'd love to frame that!

Oh ! Jilly, the first idea that pops in to my mind is "we yet wear coats overthere !" Look, it's still summer in Gorbio !
ReplyDeleteCatherine, the Fete was on the 4th October - and yes it was a fab day - today it's cold and raining, so I hope that makes you feel better!
ReplyDeletei love her shoes!
