There are definitely some bizarre creations of nature out there, and in my opinion this is one of them. Having never seen this before, of course I had to stop and take a picture when I happened upon it in the market the other day. "Buddha's hand" fruit. There was only the one. What on earth does one do with one of these? I must investigate...
Join us this coming weekend at the annual Saxapahaw Holiday Market! (The image above is from the Saxapahaw Facebook page.) Once again we'll be offering Market-only pricing specials on calendars and stationery note cards.
The Market hours are slightly different this year:
- Saturday, December 9 | 9:00am - 6:00pm
- Sunday, December 10 | 10:00am - 5:00pm
The market features lots of local artists, and the General Store and The Eddy Pub serve delicious food. Hope to see you there!
While at the Raleigh Farmers Market the other day, I spied this row of very colorful peppers. Peppers always make for good photos, and these did not disappoint! The rich, warm Fall colors are right on cue as well.
Check out this clever flower vase! This beautiful dinner
plate dahlia grew in my friend's flower garden, and when she saw it had
some missing petals she said, "I have just the vase!" Boy, was she
right! It's as though the flower grew knowing it would be plucked for
this adorable little vessel. I have lovingly named this pairing
"Matilda"—don't know why, she just looks like one to me.
I haven't posted in a while, and wouldn't you know it: I'm featuring a picture of clouds and fiery sunset colors. It goes to show, they never get old (at least in my book). This picture was taken the other night. We haven't yet had consistently cool weather, but that particular evening had a chill in the air which makes me want a fire in the fireplace. Maybe now that November has rolled around...
Another gorgeous sunset in the country sky. I took this picture a couple of weeks ago, but we are lucky to often have fantastic sunsets. Maybe one day I'll make a collage of all the ones I've captured on film. (Haha! "Film." What an outdated term!)
Please join us this Saturday and Sunday, December 3-4, for the annual Saxapahaw Holiday Market! We will have a booth, and our fresh-off-the-presses 2017 calendars will be available for all those lucky people on your shopping list. Look for our show-only specials. We hope to see you there!
