First a visit to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/woodstockfarmersmarket">Woodstock Farmer's Market</a> to buy vegetables and a delicious blueberry crumble bar. I shredded the zucchini and froze it so when I want to make chocolate zucchini bread or cookies I'll have it. <br /><p>The rest of the day I was busy pricing my finds from yesterday. It was probably the best sale I have found all year!

Time keeps flying by for me. Where does it go? Between pickin', selling at the shop, moving another son into his own apartment, taking care of a father in law plus trying to visit my own parents, preparing for a Holiday Open House and whatever else life has going on....</p><p>I'm in the Christmas mode, with Celine Dion Christmas playing in the background. I know tomorrow is Thanksgiving, but this year I took down all fall decorations and started slowing putting up Christmas. It's what gives me the most joy and is so less stressful to me to begin slowly. I'm actually loving it! I should have done it this way years ago.</p><p>Here are pictures from the Holiday Open House at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thecarriagehouseantiques">Carriage House</a> at the beginning of November. It took me 4 days to set up my space alone! Whew! But boy was it fun.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkeqSQJQvHvQp--5RLlDSNaJmdG90lablr4ZfgjWUrmIf1pJjM1UUSd9rTkw6i-_bIG-LT4yl645olusYynAb_QWvEOrLzF7V-PtusPEaKg75qrCh3DSh3PTBdBeRaE4nE3zhguAKVuoKc-fhj0WCWDTEyiMQjvzwNAx9DL0tAtSNJ0sUvzmX1j_DVQ/s1800/HQDL1232.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkeqSQJQvHvQp--5RLlDSNaJmdG90lablr4ZfgjWUrmIf1pJjM1UUSd9rTkw6i-_bIG-LT4yl645olusYynAb_QWvEOrLzF7V-PtusPEaKg75qrCh3DSh3PTBdBeRaE4nE3zhguAKVuoKc-fhj0WCWDTEyiMQjvzwNAx9DL0tAtSNJ0sUvzmX1j_DVQ/s320/HQDL1232.JPG" width="256" /></a></div><br /><p>There's lots more....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikmeYoik-jrXcUhUB0hPrDir75L_YKHcPG0hPjO0axKZoFspPzCLiflfKeognNqn2t60x_7dJMU8vaU-CPqSctn20ARUMoS-9mZqgWF20GaryIb140qPf6u593Tdn2JNe4YWChO61plhAbMKbptolo7yKGFafZwWt8m2Yzb53g7mq6QyvCqepPoXmQ7g/s1800/FFYZ9071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikmeYoik-jrXcUhUB0hPrDir75L_YKHcPG0hPjO0axKZoFspPzCLiflfKeognNqn2t60x_7dJMU8vaU-CPqSctn20ARUMoS-9mZqgWF20GaryIb140qPf6u593Tdn2JNe4YWChO61plhAbMKbptolo7yKGFafZwWt8m2Yzb53g7mq6QyvCqepPoXmQ7g/s320/FFYZ9071.JPG" width="256" /></a></div><br /><p>Lots of Santa's...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSCuNd7KYXpl79RhKP61frqGn_SMKFc2qiApfQFD6SxpC3bhCMO5sJR6eRaM3h0sLD55-C8LGaC4S2SH62MeW5sEiTgZFa8TXKibxHzdsC4p47RjBaBYoQx1m74Fflz6wHXNxa6kFnHSHadjS4TEoLuqf8srZy7NJP_nhbFW29gGi5Bk_cl-Qdk5K_zg/s4032/IMG_2871.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSCuNd7KYXpl79RhKP61frqGn_SMKFc2qiApfQFD6SxpC3bhCMO5sJR6eRaM3h0sLD55-C8LGaC4S2SH62MeW5sEiTgZFa8TXKibxHzdsC4p47RjBaBYoQx1m74Fflz6wHXNxa6kFnHSHadjS4TEoLuqf8srZy7NJP_nhbFW29gGi5Bk_cl-Qdk5K_zg/s320/IMG_2871.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I found a lot of blow molds this year.
