One thing I really love about these August fairs is that you can always get your Fall on.
I don't know where they got them but they had large wonderful PUMPKINS!!! I need pumpkins in the worst way.
There were lots of scarecrows for sale.
These windchimes were made out of old silver flatware and cups.

Handmade rugs.
Ceramic toadstools for your garden.
Quilts.
And brooms...I have such a weakness for a good handmade broom. I walked into this fair making my daughter promise to stop me if I tried to buy another broom. I ended up buying one for her.
This booth sold tablecloths, placemats, potholders, etc., all made from Fall materials.
Witches.
These weighted sunflowers were cute. It would be fun to have these on the porch for Fall.
Jack O'Lantern burning barreles. These must look so scary at night when lit. Hmmmm...time to get my JOL chiminea out!
This was my favorite booth of all. It was run by a nice guy from Ukraine that just happens to be a mushroom hunter specializing in morels. He was selling some really nice stuff. This past season he harvested almost 400 lbs of morels. I would love to know his secret!
There are always lots of pottery booths at these fairs and this one had lots of chip and dip plates for sale. I should have bought one for The Blog Tech. He is a nacho chip fan like no other.
More pics tomorrow and I'll show you what I came home with.

I must buy some rugs to have in the dog house this winter, puppies have a tendency to rip them apart :-)and perhaps some quilts for my sofa. Nova decided she should dig small holes in it. She has never done anything like that before so why start when she's eight :-) :-)
Have a great day!

I am really enjoying August in my garden with all the ripe fruit and veggies and all, but I do already long for autumn, there's just something very special about it!
