The Chapel Market!

At 9am the bell rung

{I'm assuming because it rang at 10}.

The Chapel Market was open for business!

We arrived a little past 

9:30 and waited in line

for a little bit.

No complaining was heard

except for the 

"Aww... that's so cute. Oh, I want that!"

as we watched ladies carry out their 

fabulous prizes.

I took my man with me so

as we are standing in line, I see the

wheels turning.

Won't say what was said but I'm glad

that I have a lot of years ahead of 

me for all the great ideas

I need to do before, well, you know. 

Here's a few shots from the line.

The Waters is such a cute, quaint development.

Oh, and I bumped into Rhoda

from Southern Hospitality.

She's so nice! I tell her who I am

and she said, "Oh, yeah!",

which I suppose is  good answer to 

everyone that says their blog name.

Ha! Good enough for me!

I'll share more photos of The Waters at the end.

And, we're in!
I would have liked to take more 
photographs of displays BUT it
was packed and the ones I did get were between
heads and super quick. 

What do I do first?

Scout the room to find 

some familiar blog faces.

Bing, bing, BING!

Layla from The Lettered Cottage 

is right in front of me.

She's adorable!!

We chit chat for a minute and I remind

her of the video she posted on 

Union Springs and how we watched it

over and over before we decided to come

for a visit. 

Right next to her was Miss. Mustard Seed,

Marian Parsons.

She too, is adorable!

Bruce must have been nervous.
 If you squint, it kinda makes it less blurry.

I knew I wanted to pick up

one of her books for my giveaway

because I bought one several

months ago and love it.

It's a great read, not just a decorating

book or a DIY. It talks to you.

You'll love it too.

Hopefully you will win this copy

as I had her sign it for you. 

{Oh, you're welcome!}

Author, Mary Kay Andrews was

there signing books and this was

her release of her new book,

Christmas Bliss.

Next, we shopped Urban Farmgirl.

Cute, cute stuff! Her booth reminded

me of a friends in California.

My big purchase: Mama got a new t-shirt!

In the center was a beautiful flower

cart filled with vibrant color.

Evan & Company.

I should have bought those 

Ranunculous!

Then a local gal from Troy,

Shaunna from Perfectly Imperfect.

We chit chatted about homeschooling

and her shop. Fun stuff!

Next up, Thistlewood Farm {KariAnne}.

She is so stinkin' cute! 

Loved her {cleared out} booth.

She was embarrassed because she didn't want

people to think she decorated like that.
Gotta love it!

My big SCORE was silverware.

There was no price on the basket so 

I inquired.

"$1 per piece"

Come again?

"Only a dollar?"

"Uh, huh!"

{I rushed over before any eavesdroppers got there first}

1, 2, 3, ....20!

That made my day!

Now, I know KariAnne recognized me

because we sometimes converse back

and forth via email.

She's a Rock Star.

As we start to exit so others can come in,

we stop at the last booth.

E.A.T. South.

www.eatsouth.org 

They address challenges for creating a healthy

food system across the State to 

develop Food Policy Councils.

In May, 2014, they'll be having a

big shin-dig in Montgomery.

Can't wait to go to that.

And that concludes the 

Chapel Market of 2013!

Here are some more photos of

the area and a few on the way home.

Last but not least, if you are interested in 

entering the giveaway, please let me know in the 

comments. If you don't have an account with 

google, please include your email address so I

can notify you if you win. 

I will edit it out before I post your comment.

Good luck and see ya soon!
