The new market building at Misty Meadows is big, bright, cheerful and spacious. Quilts are hung up high under the loft ceiling, along with some interesting decor like that old wagon. One side of the store holds common household items, while meats are in the opposite direction and baking is in the middle. All the fruit and veggies were outside at this time of year.
Of course today the cash desk is all walled off with plexiglas; these first three photos are from last year.The building is built in an L-shaped barn roof style, providing all that space under the loft inside.
And they provide a hitching rail for the older order Mennonite customers with their horses and buggies, though we didn't see any this year.
This is the kind of store where you can buy foodstuffs in bulk, including all sorts of dried goods like flour and beans. I've never even seen bags of sugar this big elsewhere!
And of course there are the butter tarts! Delicious! The store is on Wellington County's Butter Tart Trail!
Meanwhile, here at home, Mrs. F.G. has been doing her best with the flowers. These new ones appeared yesterday right in front of my place at the counter.
Lots of rain overnight and it's a relatively cool day here now. I'm hoping it will dry up enough that I can get out later on. We're expecting my sister and brother-in-law for lunch.
You’re right about the quilt prices. So much work and so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi There, That market looks amazing... All of the fresh veggies would make me happy... And those beautiful quilts and homemade items would make anyone smile.... So glad you were able to visit there. I'm afraid that my husband would not want me there since I'm sure I'd spend WAY too much money.
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling these days?
Hugs,

I love those quilts. And the market is wonderful, with such variety. You never fail to give me a happy face after reading your post. :-)
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose anything in that store I would choose the butter tarts......again:))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts. What a nice place to visit. Lots of different things to see.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Quilts. Always enjoy visiting Mennonite Outlets. Their products and produce are always the best.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy the Flowers.
It's about time.
You see many items in a market that you'd never see in a regular retail store.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts. Besides the labor in the quilts, the costs of fabric, etc is not cheap.
ReplyDeleteNice looking store and beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little market! The quilts are amazing, understandable why the price is what it is.
ReplyDeleteI like the model of the horse and cart too.
I'd take a couple packs of butter tarts too, please! hahaha
I enjoyed see such a great store. The Amish are always an interesting accent to our lives. The store is set up to sell to a large market.
ReplyDeleteYou have great visits!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts!
