1996 Words8 Pages

The small coffee shop smelled of caramel, cream, and vanilla. A concoction of addicting scents that drew me to come to work everyday. This little shop was located in the quieter side of Seattle, sandwiched between a paper supply store and a fancy ramen shop.

As I got out of my car to walk under the festive tents a lady who seemed quite important and knowledgeable about the Bridgeport Farmers Market walked by ringing a bell.
