Farmer's Market In Woodstock

Saturday's are a good day to go out roaming about for Flea Markets and Farmer's Markets.  We are fortunate in the Atlanta area that we don't have to venture out too far before we'll find something wonderful to do on a weekend morning.  Right here is our own backyard there is a really good Farmer's Market that started last year in Woodstock, GA.  This year it is located in the Woodstock Community Church parking lot, right at the corner of Towne Lake Parkway and Main Street. 

Here are some photos that I snapped while walking around at the market on Saturday morning.  They had a little bit of everything!

Nothing like fresh baked bread.

This young lady helped her Mom bake all these goodies (the cupcakes and cookies above and below) for the Farmer's Market.

Beautiful flowers brightened things up a bit.

Nothing like fresh basil.

And juicy Georgia peaches.

Some handmade jewelry too.

Delicious jellies and jams....picked up some Apple Carmel Jelly for my hubby.

What a fun morning it was this past weekend.  So don't miss out on some great fresh produce or baked items!

The Main Street Woodstock Farmer's Market, presented by Cherokee Bank, is held in Downtown Woodstock, every Saturday, June 19th-September 18th, 9 am to Noon.

Epergne Heirloom

When my sister came to visit us last week she brought me the most wonderful surprise.  In her car was a box from my Mother's house.  It was just a plain old packing box, but it had the best contents!  It was my Mother's silver epergne.  I can still remember the day my Dad brought it home from the Jewelry Box, which was located in downtown Lexington, Ky.  It was part of an estate that was purchased by the store.  They always had the most interesting pieces of silver and great jewelry too.

So now it sits on my countertop until I can fit the perfect spot for it in my home.  Where do you think I should put this antique in my home?

The hydrangeas are from my courtyard garden at the store. 

I'm participating in My Romantic Home's "Show and Tell Friday".  Be sure and check out this

Weekend Antiquing

Last weekend we were spending a relaxing Sunday out running errands and we stopped by the Woodstock Market here in Woodstock, GA., to see what they had on hand.  And while I was browsing there, I realized that a new blogging friend of mine had a booth at the Market.  It was one of the most beautiful booths at the show.  So I took some photos of her booth to share with you.  My friend April was selling some fabulous items that weekend, and I wanted one of everything she had on display!

See how gorgeous all of April's booth items are!  I can't wait to see what she has on hand for next month's market!

Freedom Festival Weekend

Last Saturday our store participated in the Freedom Festival that was held in downtown Woodstock, GA in City Park.  The action packed day began with a road race in the morning, a parade at 10am and continued on with a festival in the park afterwards.  And if you were not totally exhausted, the day ended with fireworks that evening at 9pm.  What fun it was!  Several thousand people came out to celebrate the July 4th holiday by joining in on the town's festivities.

Here's our booth....
