Market Friday and Pumpkins and Gourds and Indian Corn...Oh, my!

in #marketfriday6 years ago (edited)


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!


aryetv9sa9.png


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!

This was a marveloues post! So many pretty photos of flowers and pumpkins and gourds, all fantastically done. I sure remember headless. That was a fun time last year! Good to see she is back again. I just hope she never forgets her head anywhere! I know a certain zombie that would be a good match for her LOL

Oh, yes! Headless is quite the star, isn't she? She makes headlines wherever she goes. I just love all the different gourds they have. There is certainly no shortage of varieties.

Thank you for the words and unfortunately, headless isn't into zombies. That is soooo yesteryear.

Tip!

Aww he is so broken heartened. Well he enjoyed it while it lasted. Who knows, there is always next year...

Truth! Zombies may be the new rock star!

He can only hope so..

In autumn, I am overcome by nostalgia and moments of wonderful memories. After many years in the US, pumpkins will remain part of the autumn. When I see them, I feel that I am returning to a small town in the suburbs, where I experienced wonderful moments.

I greet you

Have a wonderful Sunday :)

Thank you! I do understand your feelings. There are so many of those feelings I have for different parts of Europe when I lived there. That part of my life has moved forward, but, the memories. Oh, they will live forever.

I am so glad you had some wonderful experiences here. I is with total honesty that I can say that I have never lived anywhere that I didn't love. There is always something.

I hope you are doing well as your travel the world over. I have no idea where you will land, but, I have a feeling it will be wonderful. You two have a way of making life beautiful.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Oh, I am so happy to see you made it! I have always loved those painted pumpkins and used to let the kids get one when they were babies. The only place that had them at the time was Long Island. Now they seem to be very popular all over and I still love them!

I will be moseying through your post and seeing what your awesome farm store has to offer! Aren't those things just filled with the best stuff?

Thank you for dropping the link and participating in the #MarketFriday Challenge!

Tip!

I think the painted ones are adorable! Not to mention they last way longer than carved!

And then there is that perfect pumpkin pie afterward! Or pumpkin bread! Oh, my!!

Halloween has always been a big thing in the US and there are certainly lots of pumpkins to go around very colorful post love them photos. Funny thing you wouldn't think so but the Thai's actually enjoy Halloween and do go out all the way with dressing up for the occasion.

Happy Halloween my friend enjoy and scare as many people as you can...hehe :)

MarketFriday - initiated by @dswigle - Restaurant Food in Krabi with a Awesome View !!

d8kthd5ghx.jpg

Now, that does surprise me! I had no idea that they dressed up or celebrated in any way. I actually thought it was a very American holiday and wasn't celebrated anywhere else. So thank you for that and I look forward to see if you capture any ghosts or goblins on Halloween night! Do they go door to door trick or treating? People usually give them candy or an apple for the treat of seeing them dressed up. :) Either way, it is a fun holiday for the kids.

Headless will try to keep under control! LOL Thank you again for your encouragement and engagement in the tag!

Tip!

Yeah i was surprised that they do get into the Halloween atmosphere they really enjoy dressing up and putting make- up with scary faces i am not sure they do the door to door trick and treat thing but the younger girls and boys love getting scary make- up put on them.

I will try and get out that night and do some photography i haven't been around for it the last couple of years i had other commitments.

And thanks again for your tip and keep your head on ...haha :)

Hehehe! I'll try! Thank you! You know that Denise Antoinette always loses her head! LOL

You are a worry ...lol :)

You picked some autumn symbols: pumpkins, corn, chrysanthemums. Very nice. As always the photos are perfect.
Almost with shame I remember that I posted: Hidden In The Market

Quite a festival of pumpkins, I really love the photo with a path of pumpkins, and that multi coloured corn is amazing.

I finally managed to do a little Market Friday post for you.

Oh, yay! A #MarketFriday from the BrewMeister! Thank you for dropping the link and for taking the time out of your day. I know how precious your moments are!

I do love the pumpkins, it is like pumpkin overload here! The Indian Corn is an oddity that I thought everyone had, now I know that is not the truth. It is very traditional here for the Autumn season decorations. Off to check your post! Thank you! :)

I love your pumpkin market. Fall can’t help but be beautiful. Orange leaves and pumpkins against a deep blue sky get me EVERY time. 😍

Also.... YOUR HEADLESS HUMAN COSTUME!!! super clever. Or as one should say on Halloween... super cleaver. 😄

Thank you for finding and visiting my post. I am sporadic with #marketfriday so always forget the part where we leave our posts here.

Happy Sunday! Happy early Halloween!

🎃 👻 🧛🏻‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🕷 👹🕸💀👽🤡🤠🍂🍁⚰️

Oh, no problem @dfinney! Yours was such a delight!! I feel bad when I am late in finding them. Sporadic is fine and if you forget, I will more than likely track you down. But, I have them posted here because when the post first comes out, people like to peruse them and see what people have. It gives you more views.

Thank you again for posting into #MarketFriday! You are always a welcome addition!

Tip!

Wonderful post, @dswigle I liked all your photos!

I love pumpkins and different colors and shapes,
but colored corn is very beautiful. In Russia such a not meet.

Thank you for your wonderful competition, and decided to show our markets and fairs, which are held in the Kuban every Sunday!

This is my contribution on Friday

Absolutely adore all these colorful photos with the Halloween cheer and little bit of BOO at the end, with your famous selfie, lol. That is a good one; always make me laugh 🌺🎃🌺

Oh, yes!!! Denise Antoinette! She still makes me laugh and I love to use her! Those houses are such a piece of my history, so many of them and each depicts a different holiday or story or chapter in my life. I love them and I love you for making the effort to come by for a visit.

Thank you so much and I hope you and the boys have a wonderful Halloween, whatever you do! Happy #MarketFriday!

Tip!

Always a pleasure my Dear; those houses are truly adorable. Happy Halloween to you too and thank you so much. The boys have their firefighter costumes ready 🌺🎃🌺

Oh, you know there have to be pictures!!!! :)

Oh yes there will be for sure 🌺🎃🌺

Yay! I look forward to those cuties! :)

Halloween wasnt a big thing when I was growing up and of course not related to fallwith the opposite seasons but i do love the seasonal decorations

Here is my stretching the limit of what is a Market, Market friday post. https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@tattoodjay/market-friday-banks

That is true! Those opposite seasons always drive me crazy! I love the seasonal decorations, but, I just found out today the kids in Thailand love dressing up for Halloween even though it is not a holiday there. Crazy, huh?

Thanks for dropping the link and being a regular in the challenge!

Tip!

I think its even popular in NZ now it never was when I was growing up, I guess its due to great marketing to sell all the Halloween outfits and such

Pumpkins everywhere, it looks so different, but pretty to me! Indian corn looks amazing as well, I've never seen those kind of multicolored pieces of corns in real life. How can they even be so colorful?

Such a great post with beautiful photos, @dswigle! Happy Halloween! 👻

Thank you so much! There really are pumpkins everywhere, right up until Thanksgiving, which is at the end of November. The Indian Corn is from the native Americans, long ago and has always been a harvest or Autumn traditional decoration. It is a special seed, not like the typical corn that we eat. They are really beautiful, I agree!

Thank you so much for your very kind words! Happy Halloween!

Tip!

OOOOoooooooAAAAAhhhhhhhh.... such fun photos to look at.

What is that owl in photo 2.... a carved rock?

I love the edge of the fishy chiminea. For some reason I'm attracted to chimineas. I'm not sure why I don't own one yet. This past summer the garden market had HUGE ones along with the small ones. They were amazing.

Great little shot of the gnome with it's very blue hat.

I also adore little houses of different kinds. I am not surprised that you have an affection for them too. Even your name is on the door. How sweet !

That moon shot is also wonderful.... I know I am gushing over it all, but you have so many great things here. LOL I haven't finished my market post and of course it is in similar theme. Tis the season for sure ! I'll come back and drop my link when I am done.

There ya go !

Oh, you are so sweet! Take your time! I won't finish tonight. The overwhelming exhaustion from being sick is still with me and I am almost ready for bed. OMG! Can you believe it? I have been riding this wagon train for three weeks and almost feeling normal.

I don't even post. It takes me all day to figure out what I want to do. LOL OMG... I am glad you enjoyed the post. I sure had fun putting it together. My name is on every house, just on the oppostite side probably. They are the most adorable things!

Everybody should have pumpkins this week! Tis the season! I can hardly wait to see yours and thank you for the visit!

It is always appreciated!

https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@tali72/marketfriday-time-discounts-15ec69be35fbb

LOL Sorry to scare you! My friend Jeff manipulated a picture of mine in photoshop to create Denise Antoinette! I still find her funny!

There really is a variety of pumpkins here and every year, it seems like more and more. Squashes are easy to cross-pollinate and grow. The flowers in the fall always wow me and I too love the flowers in the Autumn. Deeper, richer and I am always so thankful to see the beauty of nature extended into the next season.

I am happy to give you pleasure and so very happy to see you post into the challenge! Thank you!

Lovely pumpkin photographs @dswigle but, I have to say, I loved the pic of the orange flowers the best. Beautiful! 😁

I've done 3 pumpkin posts already and @jacey.boldart is encouraging me to do more! 😂

I might just have one more in me.

Thank you so much for the words, Gillian! Of course, I could not post the pumpkins of orange without having the orange flowers, right? I really liked them too, so I am glad to hear that.

Oh, one can never get enough pumpkin posts methinks. For the season of pumpkins is so short, we have to use them while we can appropriately get away with them! :)

I'll bet you have at least one more in you! @jacey-boldart is hilarious. And she is right, of course! LOL Have a wonderful #MarketFriday and thank you for the visit! You are always a hoot!

I have no idea but it was getting late and I saw that you had already posted and didn't want too many more to have to post without being able to drop the link, so I just swapped over. I will have to look closer at it tonight.
