Welcome to Decatur to be exact. Decatur is in DeKalb County in Georgia. It is a suburb of Atlanta and part of the Atlanta Metropolitan area. While in Atlanta visiting my sister and brother-in-law we sometimes enjoy spending the day in and around Decatur. It is a lovely town with a small town feel. The local square where the courthouse is located is surrounded with shopping and dining options. I would love to go inside the courthouse, it was closed the day we were there. We walked around town and strolled in and out of shops. Shopping here you find a mix of unique one of a kind items along with your typical souvenirs for tourists. 
Days like this are perfect for Miss Courtney Childs, my MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check tote bag that carries all my packages and then some. Come take a walk with me in Decatur and then we'll be off to another suburb to visit a new place for me, the Buford Highway Farmer's Market.

The next stop 
Buford Highway Farmer's Market 

Atlanta's speciality farmer's market where you will find global and locally fresh fruits, vegetables, produce and herbs. Here there are aisles and aisles of international food products and items, Eastern European bakeries, meats and fish. Have you ever tasted Russian ice cream? It's all here!

Vibrant varieties and unique flavors

 

Yellow root

A cure all for your aches and pains!

Anything with Calvados goes into the cart!

Internatonal wines

Jim added to the cart here

Cookies and Lollipops from Quimper! 
My lucky day

I always have several varieties of pickles in my frig, these are the latest and are delicious.

Russian dolls and toys

Teas from around the world!

European Bakery

And, of course fresh Georgia Peaches

Here at the market and all around the city you will find just about any item you can imagine with this most famous line.
When my husband saw my overfilled cart, I showed him this little line on a card!

(He helped fill it!)


My sister served up delicious pastries and coffee after a very long day of shopping

Decatur and the farmer's market took up most of the day. If you get to the Atlanta area I hope you find your way to these fun spots!
