Fall Markets; Shopping and "Stuffs" 2016

It has been a while since I shared with you some of my shopping excursions. In my area monthly markets are a thing. Do you have them in your area? The shops are closed all month long while the owners and vendors are picking and primping and it all comes together for one lovely three day weekend sale. They are usually themed. I have shared several of them with you in past posts but have been a bit behind my game. So, get your pinning finger ready!

First stop is a new pop-up that happens once a month in Clinton, MA. The Vintage Prairie Home holds their monthly market in a old mill building that houses other shops that also open to the public for the long weekend. 



                              Betsy, from Vignette Home Designwas their guest vendor and oh, does 
                                                            she do beautiful work! 




                                                                           Clever!





The Old Sterling Candle Company is upstairs. I love my cinnamon sugar candle! 








Next up is Vintage Thymes. The name may be familiar if you have spent time with me before but these photos were from their Marketplace at Adam's Farm.  They had an event their last year and it was a huge success. This year was even better! Danielle from Finding Silver Pennies did a paint demonstration for those who attended on Sunday.









An old piece of luggage pointed the way.... to the bathroom! 




I did some buying, some gift shopping, and some idea gathering. My camera was constantly on! Mostly, I was inspired and amazed at all the talent and all the out-of-the-box thinking others can do. Now, I need to go make something, paint something, or well....just do something creative. Hope you were inspired, too!

**This post was in no way, shape, form or fashion compensated or solicited. I just enjoy going to the markets, getting ideas, a few treasures and tons of inspiration and, of course, I enjoy sharing the fun with you!

    1. Oh, Sandra, it is hard to keep your wallet shut in places like these, indeed! That is why I bring my camera; what I can't bring home in reality I can bring home in pictures.
