About The Vendor's Stall
Step under the awning and the whole morning slows down. A vendor smooths the canvas, sets out the crates and weights the scale just so, while a hand-painted banner overhead catches the breeze. Every stall has its own rhythm, the thud of a cashbox lid, the rasp of twine being cut, the precise tip of a scoop into a paper bag, small rituals that make a Saturday feel like something worth getting up early for.
