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.

  4. I'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.

  5. And 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.
