Fairhope and the Windmill Market

I went to Fairhope Alabama with my Tie Dyes this weekend, and set up at the Windmill Market in Down Town Historic Fairhope. See http://www.windmillmarket.org/
I had a lovely time, the market is a 'green' building, attractively landscaped with edible garden planters which makes it extra cool to me. They have employed many other eco friendly practices in their building and are serving as an example to the broader community. While set up inside under the spacious covered porch I enjoyed talking to the other vendors, and listening to the live guitar music from the outdoor patio. Moe's Barbeque is a permanent fixture at the market, I had a pulled pork sandwich for lunch with a most delicious pickled slaw, and the best banana cream pudding I have ever tasted. I Can't wait till my next visit to Fairhope. I will be showing there every last Saturday all summer long. Next time I am bringing Dave with. We plan to spend a romantic weekend in Fairhope, which is a Very Romantic little town on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. Flowers in attractive Beds Line the streets, the large oak and magnolias are sprinkled everwhere throughout the area, and many well manicured attractive parks welcome the visitor the relax. The downtown area is FILLED with attractive little shops and Galleries! Not to mention the ambience of the restaurants and cafes that can be found as well. We plan to come a day early so we can enjoy strolling the merchant section. If you need some visual candy to go with this post check out: http://www.beautifulfairhope.com/
