Today is the beginning of the Countdown to Halloween blog party hosted by http://thewhimsicalcottage.blogspot.com/ Yesterday I attended the opening of our farmers' market annual fall festival. I planned to begin this party by posting pictures taken there, but alas, I forgot my camera. There were so many inspiring sights: heaps of pumpkins, gourds, late summer produce, bales of hay, crates of NC mountain apples, scarecrows, fair-food vendors, herb and perennial plants for sale, crafts, mums in all colors, jams, jellies, locally produced wines, piles of fragrant muscadine and scuppernong grapes, huge stalks of sugar cane as thick as my forearm...oh, all sorts of things! It was also a beautiful day outside. All that, and I forgot my camera. I was so mad! I did take pictures of the stuff I brought home. I only bought a few things, since money is tight at my house right now:
The first fall decorations to make an appearance in my den. |
More fall decorations |
The last of the heirloom tomatoes at the farmer's market. These lovelies came from the NC mountains. |
Tonight there is a chill in the air, and the sky is full of bright stars. It definitely feels like fall has arrived!
Very pretty! I LOVE Autumn and the pretty little pumpkins, gourds and baskets. :)
