This Little Ellie Went to the Market...

I love this time of year...the weather...the leaves...the decorations...the clothes...everything about Fall...love!

I almost always buy mums this time of year at a local farm market...but I cheated this year and got them at Menards instead because I couldn't wait!  But I still love going to the farm market to get some little pumpkins and gourds to decorate with...and always pumpkin butter and locally made honey!  mmmm!

I  miss taking Alex and Emily here after preschool to pick out flavored popcorn, and candy and little pumpkins...

{Emily- 2006}

...but look forward to the same tradition with this little pumpkin!

After the farm market...we headed to a little flea market to shop for hidden junk treasure!  I can usually find something fun and rustic...and I love searching for old things that I can use in a different way!

I really liked these old Mason jars...and the blue ones I loved!

I liked that they had different sizes and still had the rusty lids...love that!  {I promise I will keep them away from Ellie!}

I grabbed a handful of them in all sizes and can't wait to find a way to display them!  Maybe on our bookshelves in the family room with shells or fill them with fun things according to the season and holidays!  I love that the ideas can be endless... 
{anyone have any great inspirations?!}

I also picked up these when I was there a couple weeks ago...
...I like the fun orange color of this basket and is currently holding catalogues and magazines in our living room...{Whiskers is keeping an eye on it for me!}

This is just a fun little rustic box and right now I have it on the kitchen table...but I think it could be fun with candles or pumpkins or ornaments depending on the holiday!

It was a fun day at the market and I have a feeling we'll be back again soon!
