  “the Marketplace”
  suggested by:   Cybernene

   

  We love markets and marketing.  We used to sell at markets a lot. The sad thing, you finally get worn down with the work so you give in and do your marketing elsewhere in bits and pieces. 

  So, a few of my photos.

   

  

  1-  We loved selling at markets, it felt as if you lived at a carnival it was really fun.  The market in this photo is Friendship, Indiana.  We took part every season for quite a few years.  It was loads of work but entertaining work.

   

   

    

  2-   When you give up selling at markets you have lived at off and on for extended periods of time, you re-discover many of your purchases have to be made at individual stores.  Shopping this way is still marketing but not nearly as amusing.  You visit clothes stores for clothes,

   

   

  3-  the garden shops for plants etc.

   

   

  4-  lumber gets loaded up from the lumber yard

   

   

  5-   Pumpkins come from the grower or a festival you wish you were set up at

   

  

  6-   lawn chairs come from the hardware store

   

  

  7-   and when your day of shopping is done with, you wonder just how all of your purchases will fit in the car.  No difference really, it just takes mapping out your day of drive by marketing.

  To those of you fortunate enough to have really good markets to shop in, have fun, enjoy, I’ll be always thinking of how much fun I had in the past.

  Thanks for your visits and comments.
