Here are some of the things we spotted at the market today.
These woven bracelets were a huge splash of color. There were several jewellery stalls but I didn't think I should take pictures of them all.
Rutabagas -or turnips - they're all the same to me. One of my favorite fall vegetables, especially in stew.
Beautiful red ripe tomatoes, on the vine. Don't they look wonderful! We bought a vine containing six of them. Whenever I asked someone if I could take a picture of their products and produce, I felt I should buy something too. Luckily I got over that after half a dozen or so pictures.
These were so cute, especially the baby ones - sassy sayings on Tee shirts.
Pies - pumpkin, apple, Saskatoon berry to name a few. We didn't buy any of them because I'm going to make a lemon meringue pie later this afternoon.
Knitted goods. I love the purple hat in the back and would have bought it if I were a hat person.
I've never been to a farmers market where there wasn't popcorn for sale. Kettle corn is especially yummy! Didn't buy any though.
The lady who owned this stall let me taste two of her honeys - wildflower and clover. I bought a jar of clover honey - tasted just like the honey my grandmother used to make.
I visited awhile with this lovely lady. She's a scrapbooker who recently turned to card making. She had lots of beautiful cards on display. I had to check them all out.
Lovely grapes brought over from British Columbia
...and apples
Beautiful fruit basket at the BC fruit stall. The stall owner let us taste a delicious apple pear so we bought a bag of them.
And carrots - picked yesterday - very sweet and delicious. I bought 3 lbs. for carrot casserole for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner.
Lovely homemade bread, baked in a stone oven. We bought a white loaf and a whole wheat loaf.
One stall had these cute baby shower 'cakes' made from disposable diapers and baby stuff - very cute in blue, pink, and green and yellow.
It was a great way to spend an hour or so on a lovely fall day. We'll have to go again next week if the weather holds.

looks nice Mum. glad there's a good farmer's market happening way down south there.
Oh my gosh- it was such a nice Farmer's Market - I just love, love, love Farmer's Markets and your pictures - awesome!

I love farmer's markets and the creativity of those who show their goods never ceases to amaze me. Love the gorgeous tomatoes - we had a really bad year for tomatoes here. Usually, by August, we can't give them away, but not this year,

I love those things. Wish I'd been there. Arizona doesn't have them a lot. I guess not like the kind I grew up with.
You don't need to be a hat person to wear a tuque, Mum.
