The season of autumn is upon us and I embrace it with joy! It is beautifully harmonious. But, only because there is candy corn involved. It is the only time of year I allow myself to buy it. Oh, they had them everywhere! I'll even set it to prose, just so it doesn't seem soooo bad. :)

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 different cultures.

Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you! ❤

But first, a flower. Always a flower.

The loveliness of you never escapes me
May I gaze upon you, always and a day?

Whispered words, from your lips
Out of the darkness, they came
Touching my heart, softly, caressing
Stealing off with my soul
Taking me, swallowing me whole

I have been to so many new places lately! Oh! The curiosity that is attached to foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. 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.

Today I went to my favorite garden center where they have displays set up for upcoming seasonal bliss. I love how rich the colors get. The colors become more visible and splendorous, turning it into a season of beauty.

They have the white pumpkins out, flanked by all those sunflowers and different hued leaves. Everything has a golden glow about it. I need to find something rich colored and beautiful for my table. I am sure that I came to the right place!

I like the sunflowers hanging out of the basket, but, I am wondering how long they will last, looking all cheerful and vibrant?

I think I Just like the casual look that they have in their decorating and I am sure I can never achieve that same casual flair when I want to do it.

Don't you wish you lived back in the day where they had a mercantile? Real dry goods? One store to get it all? There are days that would be fine to me, take all those extra choices away and get back to basics. That would make life so much simpler, wouldn't it? Everyone could have red pajamas and black shoes. Boom. We are done shopping. I am pretty sure that would be good for about two minutes and then the family would be rioting.

I really like the mirror in the back, very natural looking and I touched it and it was made of bark. Really interesting and I could see that fitting into a corner of my house. My house is terribly eclectic.

They do a really good job of setting up little areas, staging them, so you will know what the finished product would look like. I have been thinking about adding more landscaping to my yard in the form of stone or brick. I have brick, but, I was thinking of mixing it up a little. Their designs are always spectacular! This is the nursery that comes to my house if I have a problem with anything. Okay, not ANYTHING, but, you know what I mean. They bend over backward to please the customer.

Who doesn't want their designer to come over and arrange for you like this? Oh, I do! I do! I just love what she does! I want to buy it all, but, that is totally impractical. Isn't it? I don't need much convincing!

I finally come to what I was looking for! The pumpkins. I know it is early, but, they will last a long time and I like to enjoy the seasons one at a time.

Dealers choice. There were a gazillion gourds and the time to get them is now. Fall is here! Happy Fall! I want to thank you for putting together a #MarketFriday and taking the time to post them! So much appreciated!

Don't ever forget what wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.

Thanks for stopping by! All words and images are mine and can be also found on my various social media sites.
