My best buddy and I made the one hour drive to Canton for First Monday today. It got this name (I think) because it is always held the weekend before the first Monday of a month. It use to start on Friday and end on Monday, but I have heard it is now opening on Thursdays. I wish I could have gone on Thursday because it was packed shoulder to shoulder with people today! We got to the exit at 8:40am and it was already backed up! Ugh..but it was still a fun day.I bought a new bird house to hang on the fence..
..and a little bird to live inside with me--perhaps on the window sill so he can look out.Here are a few more of the things I bought..
We shopped until noon, grabbed a baked potato for lunch and finished with Taylor's homemade ice cream. I normally like to find something for the garden, but this time of the year the vendors concentrate on holiday items. Spring is the perfect time to shop for gardening items, so looks like we will need to make another trip in a few months. I just know I need another rusty pail or two to plant with spring flowers!
