(Denise, that's me!!) Join me as we share our markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see the different markets and cultures of our friends here on steemit. I have been pleasured by all of you, as you send in the most wonderful posts. Going places, doing things, buying merchandise. I have been surprised by many, not being familiar with the culture and I must say that it has been such an educational experience for me in so many ways and I hope for you also. This week, I am back at the flower market, but, this time, we will be shopping on the inside of their shop.Are you ready to shop a bit?
Remember the garden gnome? Well, just as predicted, he was still there when I went back! I so wanted this meditating gnome! He is rather unique and I had just the place for it! Although I promised myself, I couldn't buy anything for the garden, unless I took a piece out. Well, that didn't happen until I bought him and then I broke a piece in the garden. Karma!!! I swear. Come on! Tell the truth! Isn't he a little cutie?
STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!

I love my wind chimes. They sound like church bells, reminding me of my childhood, where I could hear the church bells alerting the parishioners that Church would begin in fifteen minutes. Long story - short... my wind chimes broke over the winter. I have never taken them in for the season and they finally rebelled and upped and died on me. So I need to look a little closer and play some melodies on them to see which one I want.
Novelty pillows were all over and some had embroidered animals or flowers on them, others had something silly written on them. But, it was a huge selling item. To go with the theme, there were paintings to tie everything all together. I know that there is nothing exceptionally special here, although some of the things could be fun, but, there are times where just wandering around looking at things and talking to people gives me a refreshed outlook on life.
Ribbons and ribbons and ribbons again. There was a boatload of ribbon offered up. Every color, width, and decoration on it.
Definitely a place to look at the offerings of a clock, from fancy to downright practical to upscale clocks and timepieces that would make Gucci proud. And the lamps! Did I forget to mention the lamps of all styles and shapes?
And just like that, my shopping is done. Until next time! I hope you had fun and maybe next time, we will get a few more plants to fill in the spaces. As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit #MarketFriday!! Have a most fabulous day!

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
