This gorgeous red berry shrub caught my eye.
Gourds hanging on a porch.
Hand made canoes at a North Carolina flea market.
A totem pole at the flea.
We really liked the North Carolina flea market Kadie and her husband took us to. There were many sellers with vintage and antique items and not much new stuff. The prices were fair. I bought nothing for myself except a book and Joe a small vintage tool. I am behaving! Tightening the budget we are! Joe bought me a beautiful modestly priced painted tray which I did not photograph but will later perhaps.
I am linking with Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday.

Oh, Olive, that house is so beautiful. I love weahter-boarding - and with a proper chimney too. It looks like a fairytale house.

You are being a really good girl, Olive...I'm sure Santa will be good to you too!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteGreat picts!
Love your pictures. That old house is wonderful. I always want a peak inside. So interesting. Sounds like such a fabulous time. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love that wonky chimney.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the canoes is my favourite. Very nice composition.
Love the stone chimney too - looks reeeeally old.
ReplyDeleteI always marvel at the great stuff found at the flea markets back east compared to here. The good stuff is mostly out of circulation, although with the currently economy and baby-boomers downsizing a few good things still show up. Happy Thanksgiving.
That was a very nice trip that I would have enjoyed as well. You saw and found a lot of interesting things along the way.
ReplyDeleteYou take the most wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great time. The antique stores must be fabulous there. Great photos, too! I love the chimney on that house as well!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Your photos are beautiful, Olive! Looks like a wonderful day! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYour photoes are absolutely stunning Olive! Have you got a really super duper camera? The shots are fantastic. It's a lovely hobby, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove that house!
ReplyDeleteThat is my taste,
exactly : ) You
are so lucky to
have a nice, long
fall down South.
It's been winter
here for nearly
two weeks with snow
on the ground, the
whole deal. Happy
Thanksgiving, dear
friend, to you and
your little family!

Thanks for sharing your day trip. The flea market you went to sounds better than the one I went to recently.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
ahhh, I do love me some day trips.

ReplyDeleteJoyce M
Wonderful photos Olive! That part of the country is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I looked like the perfect day for a drive! I especially love the rich red berries!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures make me want to get in the car and head for the mountains. Fall started a little late but it has not disappointed me at all, and it still continues here in the Atlanta area.
ReplyDeleteOld churches, whether they be big and grand or small and quaint are a particular interest of mine, but I like old architecture of most any kind.
I appreciate your dropping in at my blog, and leaving a note. It is always nice to know who is reading. Thank you.
We drive through that way from Asheville, NC to Blairsville, Ga where hubby's brother lives and it is such a beautiful area. Enjoyed your Outdoor Wednesday. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful home in a beautiful setting! I enjoyed your pictures. And, thanks so much for stopping by my Outdoor Wednesday post. Happy Thanksgiving.
