I did go to Horton's yesterday afternoon. They were in the process of getting their autumn market ready. This is the side door to the store. They always decorate this fountain spot. Look at the huge caladium. I have only ever seen them this big in Alabama.
The corn stalks are up on the roof of the outdoor area. Their Autumn Market banner is up. The market will be September the 26th , 9-4...there will be venders come in also.
The greenhouse was full of mums. Here's the yellow group. Love these.
This is the counter where the Mrs. Horton's mother makes the sweetest bouquets. It's in disarray right now.
They are selling these vining plants and I am not sure what they are called. There are pink flowers on one and red on the other. I am sure hummingbirds would love these.
I took this picture of the cornstalk near the entrance of the greenhouse. The half barrel planters are filled with ferns, white impatiens, and alyssum.
There are barrels all around their store. Every year they have different flowers and plants in them.
I'll have more pictures tomorrow of things inside. I always ask before I take pictures and the Hortons are accommodating . As I look back thru this group of pictures, there seems to be color missing...but they are not completely set up yet.
Hope everyone has a good day. I am hoping also that it's not as hot here today. XO
I haven't seen decorations here outside but they already have it up in the stores.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, there are two crazy ladies I know that have the décor up already...oh they are my sisters. LOL. I should take a picture of their things. :):) Hope you are doing well and clinging to our warm days. I just think winter will come before we know it. Blah ! Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt's so hard to believe it is September already especially since this is going to be one of the hottest weeks of the summer. 'm starting to see fall decor pop up here too, Susie.
ReplyDeletelaura, It seems right at this time were are having a heat wave. I listen to Neil Diamond sing September Morn already...gosh I love that guy. Saw him twice in concert. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI am so ready for fall decorating. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year!!
ReplyDeleteSweetheart, you have got to pop over at Linda's...she is "Linda's Life Journal" ...the girl is crazy for auntumn and has all her decoration out already and she lives in Texas. You will love her and her husband . They are the sweetest people. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Deletep.s go listen to Neil Diamond on line...he will sing September Morn for you.
I love decorating for Fall. I have a big pot of yellow mums on my kitchen table right now and it's beautiful. Enjoy your day my friend. I'm glad your grandson in healing and improving. Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of keeping mums in the house. :):) I do like them in pots on the porch and in the flowerbeds. I am waiting to hear about Skylar follow up with the surgeons. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteYellow mums are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWe rescued a large fountain similar to the one at Horton's from Amber and Mike's house. We have had it for nearly 2 years and Louis Dean just now set it up in the back yard where he will put a pump in it and use it to attract birds. We have hung a new feeder in the tree above the sand box. It all takes time! I think having ponds and fountains make outdoor living so nice. I love the sounds. When we have the kitchen French doors open and the pond is bubbling, it sounds like I'm frying bacon!!
Happy September FIRST!!!!
Linda, You'll have to show us your fountain when it's going. I like hearing water trickling will I am on the porch. The birds do love water features. I knew you would be loving today. LOL. I popped over to your blog first thing this morning. :):) Blessings for a wonderful fall season. Love you, Susie
DeleteThey always have such a beautiful market there at Horton's, don't they Susie. Thank you for sharing the outside with us. It looks beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to read about all that your little Skylars been through, and glad that he seems to be doing well after surgery. He's so lucky to have all of you!
sending hugs...
Hi June, So glad you stopped by. I love seeing everyone's décor. The stores or just someone's yard. I have many more photos from Horton's. I really like that good Christian family that owns that store. Hope everything is well at your house and you have a beautiful fall. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie - Beautiful flowers and that place would certainly put you in the mood for Fall.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Judy
I go into Horton's for every season. They have a market for the seasons and one at Christmas. Bless you Judy. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat an exciting time of year and your post makes me even more anxious to visit our Farmer's Market! I'd rather visit a place like you've shown in your pictures than a fine jewelry store!
ReplyDeleteDewena, You made me smile. I am not a big jewelry person either. I used to love to go to look at tools more. I wish I could go to a little town in the lower part of our state..it is called Bean Blossom....they have all kinds of butters and jams and pumpkins and gourds. So much fall stuff. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie. I am your newest GFC follower. Your post makes me excited for Fall.
ReplyDeleteHi Debby, So glad you came by. I will be showing more Horton's photos this week. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a beautiful store, everything a body could want for decorating their home and garden.
ReplyDeleteI wish I lied close by !
~Jo
Lol ... make that Lived :)
Delete~Jo
Hi Jo, I knew what you meant. :) My gosh some times when I check over something I have written...I wonder what language I am using. LOL. The people who own Horton's are so kind and charming. The whole family runs it. Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWow! It looks like Horton's is ready for the fall! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, As hot as the weather has been the last few days ..it's a wonder the mums have not bloomed full by today. I can't wait to see everything ready for the market day. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThey sure do have the Fall look. Haven't seen anything around here yet but the mums. I wish we had a store like that around here. Hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteSusie, My sisters have decorated for fall in August. LOL. I have nothing going on and from the looks of this hot weather. I do not think I will have the porch stained in time to do any decorating. I wish we had more businesses here in our little town...that is why I trade at Horton's, to help them stay a float. Blessing, xoxo,Susie
Deletep.s. I have been wondering if you got your meds regulated .
Looking forward to seeing all the Fall goodies at Horton's, Susie. I like the corn stalks. They remind me of my trip to Iowa. We saw rows and rows of corn stalks in the fields at grandma's farm.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Sheri, I would never had thought of you having a grandma in Iowa. Do you get to visit often? I am anxious to get some pretty fall décor ...but I wonder if it will happen this year. Blessings, love, Susie
DeleteBeautiful start getting ready at Hortons for the fall show. It will be here before we know it. Have fun this week and enjoy the holiday week end.
ReplyDeleteKris
Kris, I know you won't be able to come to Horton's for this one day event. Hopefully next spring. I think that goes on for two days. Holiday weekend, sounds so good. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHorton's looks like a fun place to shop! Love all of the fall plantings! Have a great rest of your week! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Cinday, I do love to go to Horton's and the temptation gets to be too much at times...so I buy some things. :):) I love being in the greenhouse and looking at the flowers every season. Hope your weekend is fun, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHow fun it would be to work at that counter every day!
ReplyDeleteBrenda, You could work the flower counter. I like the way you put things together. Mrs. Horton's mom just makes the cutest bouquets and she uses greenery of all different kinds. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh Susie, what a way to get me into the fall spirit! I love fall and can't wait! That looks like a place I could spend a lot of time wandering around!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day~

Nancy, If you love the fall spirit...you need to visit Linda at Linda's Life Journal...that is the decorating-est one woman ever. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
