Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!)

I hope you will join me as we share different markets across the globe. Every week, I look forward to seeing what you will send me and I am always happy to see so many from all over the world.

On to #Market Friday, but, first we must have a flower. Always a flower!

Effortless in nature

Simple beauty just takes my breath away

Wrapped up in loveliness, a random "color someone a beautiful day" today.

Who doesn't love to see what they will be selling in some foreign market, shopping in places I have never been to and some, never even heard of. There is always a curiosity 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, art galleries, wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.

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! ❤

We are going to shop at the local pumpkin palace! It's a pumpkin extravaganza this week! Halloween is just around the corner, so let's get out and see what we need to make this house rock!! I don't do real spooky, well except for a few bats that fly around the door. I never want those little kids to have nightmares. They actually love them! Are you ready?? Let's see what they have! Oh, my! Miles of pumpkins!

Indian corn! Who could ever forget those multicolored pieces of corn? No two alike! It was a part of my growing up. When I saw it, I knew it was time for Autumn. My mother always hung it on the door to our house.

It is one of the oldest types of corn and rumor has it that Native Americans taught the colonist how to grow it. So we can thank them. For so many things.

Add a touch more Autumn to your house with the added color of Chrysanthemums. Truly the scent of Autumn! I had no idea that they were actually native to Asia and Northeastern Europe.

You just never know who you'll see when you are going through a pumpkin patch. This could possibly be a friend of @luigi-the-gnome! I wonder if they know each other and speak the same language?

Can someone please tell me what is going on with the white pumpkins this year?? I have always seen them, but, more of an oddity or something special, but this year? They are all over the place. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do!

Pick two. You know you just can't have one. And they make the very best pie. Oh, my goodness! Pumpkin pie and whipped cream. Pumpkin bread. Pumpkin pudding. Oh! I must stop. Pick two. You know you want to. :)

Gourds are purely ornamental. They are not edible and their shell is hard and their interior is basically empty. The make a festive collection put together. I love the different kinds there are. I am not sure how many varieties they actually have. The more artistic people hollow them out and shells and pieces of metal can be used to make them into musical instruments. They can be burned, carved and made into pieces of jewelry. Or do what I do. Just decorate with them.

So, take your pick. Gourd, pumpkin, corn, flowers... you can have what you desire. What is it you truly desire?

Tiny little painted houses sit on my windowsill. I probably have a dozen of them and they depict different holidays and events in my life. Happy Halloween! Boooooooo!

Let the sun shine in on your life
So the joy may touch your soul

Pure. Joy. Affection. Caring. Sharing. Inspiring. Sweetness. Warm. Tenderness. Fun. The eternal love of a mother. My heart feels wrapped in love and tied with a bow of hugs. Just for today...

Don't ever forget what a 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.
