Market Friday

Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) I hope you will join me as we share different markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see so many different markets and the fascinating cultures.

I saw my first sign of Christmas already. I wasn't ready for it. I was standing there in my shorts and a light tee shirt, wondering how this could be. How can this be???

He holds his trumpet, poised in his mouth, ready to announce the coming holiday. But wait! Do they know it is only barely September?

I have been fortunate to have so many of you posting different markets from all over the world! I cannot tell you how fascinating it has been, sitting here, watching the world parade by. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle. Thank you!

And there it is. My very first tree. She is a beauty, but she really is a tad or three early. I would like them to start in November... You know, when is so close, I can smell it coming!

But first, a flower. Always a flower.

There must be an act of kindness and beauty that belongs to this day alone. Seize that moment and pass it on, pass it on and keep on passing it on.

I am still out of town and will check your posts... I didn't have too much time to put a proper post, but, the fact that Christmas is here already shocked me into taking pictures!

As always, thank you for participating in #MarketFriday! The effort put into gathering and putting a post together is appreciated. Thank you for sharing your part of the world with all of us! Happy Friday! Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh, but, I have been so remiss as I have been away! Thank you for your support of my posts. Happy Friday!

OK my favorite diva, here's my link and it is still Friday!

You know I've been waiting all day to see this. I just know it was worth the wait.

Oh I can use a dose of Christmas all year long! I will tell you this personal secret if you promise not to tell.

I used to have a 3 hour round trip commute for work. The only good thing about it was my mom babysat my daughter and lived close to work. Well my daughter loved some of the Christmas shows. So it was not uncommon for my daughter to be in her car seat and I going down the highway singing Silver and Gold with Burl Ives in July lol. God I wish I could go back to that right now...

Awwww! That is so sweet! That is what I am talking about. The spirit of Christmas all year long is heartwarming.

Nothing much has changed with her, has it. Still the same sweet girl.

Same sweet girl but doesnt seem to sing quite as loud...of course that could be my hearing as well lol.

Yes, that. :,)

It seems to me the Christmas decorations are gettign earlier and earlier every year, far to early I htink

Here is my Market Friday Post https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@tattoodjay/market-friday-my-new-lunch-place

Oh, they are getting waaaaay to early, JJ! You are right. I can remember as a kid, nothing went up until Thanksgiving was given proper homage. Now, we barely clear Independence Day. I think they probably sell less and take a lot of the exciting build-up towards the Holiday.

Thank you for your always participation in 3MarketFriday!

@dswigle Its crazy when you go into a shop this time of year and there is Halloween thanksgiving and christmas things on display, soon they will be up all year

Totally ridiculous! I'm taking a bloodbath here for reporting the news! LOL

it's really still very early for Christmas hee hee :))) you have a very beautiful photo with a bokeh !!! if you're still on vacation, Denise, enjoy your vacation !!

It is more than early, it is downright out of season! :)

I do love the Christmas spirit, but, cannot conjure up that same feeling when it is still summer and Christmas isn't until winter, although the peace on earth and goodwill towards man is something I love all year round. But, I want mine without the glitter now.

Can we please save the magic till December? I am still away and will be returning to the fold very soon! Thank you! Big love and thank you for always being a part of #MarketFriday!

you rest, Denise, while there is such an opportunity: restore strength and physical and emotional. we are also going to go on vacation - this summer was heavy because of the heat, and it will continue until November. We need to go cool where it's not so hot :)

Isnt that the truth. Will you be headed towards your homeland?

Safe tra els! 💖

we decided to visit Baden Baden in Germany. there and cool already, and there is a term with mineral water.

Seriously some people really want to push that time on i want to slow it down..damn it. Anyway you have a lovely weekend also Denise. Here is my link to @marketfriday :)

Seriously, right? I am always appalled and yet, it happens every single year... I am not sure why I still remain shocked. Wasn't it just 4th of July, Independence Day? Wait! Labor Day for the US is on Monday... OMG, that almost sounds worse, doesn't it?

Oh, if you were a woman, I would call you a temptress with those fine looking grapes draped across my page! Yummy. You sure know how to start my day! Thank you and thank you for always and forever participating in #MarketFriday! Happy almost Saturday, Angelo!

Have a great day!

Haha....well i thought i keep your vacation alive make you feel like the queen with the grapes been served and the palm leaf been waved over you like Cleopatra...lol :)

Christmas products in August? I'm shocked, to tell you the truth! Each season has it's on holiday or event to celebrate and August is not for Christmas, nor is September or October or November! It wasn't even 6:00 am when I saw your post and at first glance I thought you are joking. I thought you've ran out of photos and are using some Christmas photos. Now I know it's not a joke. This early promotion ruins the spirit of Christmas! Don't get me wrong, you're not to blame but the vendors!!!
Anyway, here's my entry for this week Sweets From a Craft Fair for MarketFriday

I was shocked and I saw it with my own eyes! I love to take each season as an individual and celebrate it to the full extent. I liked when they used to wait and give each holiday its time, not, it seems like that is never the case.

Ran out of photos! Never! :) I just downloaded another 5,000 the other day. Oh, I know there is no blame here. Those vendors are at it again! I actually think they sell less as there is no longer that wonderful buildup of the most awesome day in the world. They take the wind out of the sails by promoting it so much and so early!

Thank you for always posting to #MarketFriday! The time and effort is always appreciated!

It's outrageous! Till Christmas there is Autumn, it's thanksgiving for you, it's Halloween and there is St. Nicolas on the 5th of December! Following the logic comes the question, when are they going to start selling Easter products? In December?
Anyway, I'm gonna just ignore Christmas products :D And thank you for always hosting #MarketFriday! You're a sweetheart! :)

It is! I love celebrating each one separately and fully, then move on to the next. The buildup of each Holiday used to be so special and they have totally ruined that for the kids of today.

I just had to post it because I thought this was a little bit earlier than they usually do. OMG!

Thank you for posting to #MarketFriday! Mwah!

It's ok, you did good by posting it :) 😘♥️

💖💕

Hello, sweetie! Happy #MarketFriday! Always good to see you and I want to thank you so much for being a loyal part of Market Friday!

You totally rock! Mwah!

Thank you @pixresteemer!

Well captured, but oh boy, the kitsch is strong with this one.

Well, thank you. I think. :)

Admittedly, the kitsch is very real and in living color. Hope all is well in your world!

It's sunny and I have coffee.

Hehe! Sun was imminent. The coffee ix a bonus.

Lovely to hear from you @dswigle. I hope you're having a fun time. 😊

Having a Christmas tree up in August seems almost obscene to me. I love your photograph of the ornament but I'll pretend it is some sort of decoration for a festival of some sort. 😁

Enjoy the rest of your trip! 💙

Hahaha! It is obscene! That is such a perfect way to describe it! I do love the ornaments, but, tooooo early for even me, a lover of all things Christmas!

Very nice and happy post. Your first picture very much looks like the picture I will post later this day!

Thank you, Bart! I do love Christmas and all the goodwill towards man that it brings, but, can we have that without putting our all the ornamentation three months early?

Secretly, I love that happy feeling that the holiday brings me and could enjoy it all year. ;)

I look forward to your post! Happy Friday! The weekend is upon us soon!

Oh my, it's already christmas ! I must have slept longer than I thought ! =))

I know how you love this time of the year my wonderful Lady D, so I'm not surprised you are already in by the thoughts ;-)

Oh no! Christmas?! 😮😮😮 Dont get me wrong, I love Christmas & Baby Jesus and presents...but Im not ready to celebrate it yet! Well, at least in SoCal where I live now, there is no snow, so you can't really tell when the season comes. From being a Midwesterner so many years, it still is all a little confusing to me 😉

I was scared when I saw you were talking about Christmas ... and I have not yet reached the sea! I want Christmas to stay away ...
My posting is a bit late, a few hours. Thanks Denise ... you and your beautiful flowers!
... and after 13 hours, here is my post (improvisation!): A Market Where You Cannot Buy

Christmas ? lol

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Ohhh myyy... It comes earlier and earlier every year!
I haven't seen any sign of it here yet, but I won't be surprised if I do soon either! As usual, your flowers first, are gorgeous! And that shiny ornament shot has such lovely bokeh!! Have a great week ahead, my friend!!

They started putting up Christmas lights on the trees at the Botanical Garden! I get that they don't want to have to fumble around with the lights when it's bitter cold outside, but come on! Lovely photos, as always!

Hello my dear friend :)

Pretty nice post about christmas moments of dream

Greetings and here is my Magic street :)
