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.
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 ...
were cute, and I'm sorry I didn't buy one ...
hand painted gourd birdhouses too! ...
These gourds had more of a "southwestern" look to them ...
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!

Hi Janie,
I enjoyed looking at the pictures of the festival. Vicksburg is a beautiful town!
I often just window shop too...seems like it's harder to cut loose of any money these days. Guess that's what the news media means by 'consumer confidence'!
Connor would have talked me into buying him something though. He always does! LOL
It looks like a really fun place...and what a gorgeous day to enjoy it! I'm like you...I see stuff and then don't buy it...and later want to kick myself. Oh well where would we put all that stuff if we gave in everytime to the buying impulse!
It does look like a glorious day for an outing, even without buying anything. Enjoy your week. Sally
Hi there, looks like you had a great time !!! What nice pics.
We headed North ourselves for a little leaf peeping :) I just love this time of year, crisp air and yummy apples right off the tree, so I will making an apple pie for sure.
Have a nice week,
Kathy :)
ps I think I would have snapped up those lamps in the 3rd picture, love em !!!
Hi Janie, Looks like a lot of fun! I enjoy fall festivals so much. Nancy
The horshoe flowers are so cool! Never seen those before....great idea!
Oh what a fun place to be, I love to just look. I don't always buy either, I do get so many ideas too. All those pretty and cute gourds.
Hope you have a great week.

Hi again Janie! I was going over my comments and saw you were kind enough to answer my question on photo taking! Thank you so much, I'll try more lighting! It was getting to the point where I was about to hit the delete button!lol or go to the eye doctor for probably much needed glasses!!! Thanks again, Jeannette
It's hard to see all the cute things and not buy isn't it? But I went to a craft fair last weekend and bought only a couple of things...and one of those was corn meal. Sign of the times I guess. blessings, marlene
This looks like my kind of festival! I love the bench closest to the right in the pic of the two benches! And the pumpkin gourds! ...beautiful town! ~Rhonda :)
