Vicksburg Old Court House Flea Market ...

It's that time of year when towns across America welcome the arrival of fall with Oktoberfest celebrations, festivals, and flea markets ... and yesterday, my daughter Whitney, granddaughter Avery, and I enjoyed the 26th Annual Vicksburg Old Court House Flea Market.

It was an absolutely perfect day with bright blue skies and sunshine, and scarecrows on just about every corner. Booths were set up around the court house selling everything from puppies to cotton candy.

The Animal Rescue League of Vicksburg had several precious puppies and kittens for adoption, and Avery wanted to hold all of them ...

I just loved this little guy and hope he found a new home. He was beautiful and was so dignified-looking, just watching the world go by ...

I thought these little "pumpkin gourds"
were cute, and I'm sorry I didn't buy one ...

Wish I had bought one of these pretty
hand painted gourd birdhouses too! ...

These gourds had more of a "southwestern" look to them ...

These pretty benches caught my eye, especially the one on the right, but I thought its $85.00 price tag was a little steep ...

I love the name of this booth ...

I should have bought one of these pretty
handmade dolls for Avery, but resisted ...

Don't you just love these
ingenious Horseshoe "Flowers" ...

And these cute little devils!

We had fun looking, but didn't buy anything.
Oh well, there's always next year!

Vicksburg Old Court House Flea Market and Fall Festival

I've looked forward to today for a long time and it's finally here -- Vicksburg's 26th Annual Old Court House Flea Market and Downtown Fall Festival.

It starts at 8:00 this morning and my daughter Whitney, my 3-year-old granddaughter Avery, and I are going to go explore the 130 flea market booths set up around the Old Courthouse Museum.

It's always a fun day for the whole family with carnival food treats, live entertainment, great sidewalk sales with participating downtown businesses, and lots of children's activities.

I plan to take lots of pictures and look forward to sharing it all with you Monday. Hope your weekend is filled with fun things, too!

Sincerely,
